Zusammenfassung:A method for monitoring the condition of an electronic power steering apparatus or of at least one part of the electronic power steering apparatus of a motor vehicle includes continually capturing acceleration measured values in a region of the electronic power steering apparatus during a driving mode of the motor vehicle and continually providing the captured acceleration measured values to a damage computation section in the form of a damage meter that continuously sums the acceleration measured values and continually forms therefrom at least one variable characterizing a degree of damage to the electronic power steering apparatus or to the at least one part of the electronic power steering apparatus. The method further includes continually comparing the variable with at least one prescribed limit value.
