Zusammenfassung:An electric motor assembly is configured to determine a motor winding resistance value. Predicted values are determined for a first and second position of motor commutator sections relative to the motor brushes, with at least one of the brushes contacting different numbers of the sections in the first position and the second position. The predicted values are based on a temperature value measured by the temperature sensor and a predetermined dependence of variation of the motor resistance dependent on the temperature value. An electric motor current value is measured by a current sensor when the electric motor is substantially at standstill. A selection is made between different factors for determining the motor resistance value using the electric current value, dependent on which of the predicted values most closely corresponds to the electric current value. The motor resistance is determined using said electric current value according to the selected factor.
