Abstract

A method for discharging a high-voltage system in a vehicle, the high-voltage system having at least one energy store and a plurality of high-voltage consumers. To discharge the high-voltage system, the electrical energy store is first separated from the rest of the vehicle electrical system, and at least one of the high-voltage consumers is switched on, so that the charge stored within the system drains via the consumers.
