The invention relates to a hydraulic
system for an
automatic transmission, in particular a dual-
clutch transmission, of a motor vehicle, comprising the
hydraulic cylinder (22, 23) of at least one
clutch (K1, K2) and of gear selectors (G1 to G4), which hydraulic
system has a pressure accumulator (25) for providing an accumulator pressure (pS) in the hydraulic
system, wherein, in at least one clutchpath (30, 31) leading from the pressure accumulator (25) to the
clutch hydraulic cylinder (23), a clutch valve (35), which can be controlled by an
electronic control unit (39) and by means of which ahydraulic pressure present at the clutch
hydraulic cylinder (23) can be set, and a
pressure sensor (34), by means of which the
hydraulic pressure present at the clutch hydraulic cylinder (23) can besensed, are arranged, and comprising a charging
hydraulic pump (53), which, in a charging operation, pumps
hydraulic fluid into the hydraulic system in order to increase the actual accumulator pressure (pS). According to the invention, the
control unit (39) has a diagnostic module (79), by means of which a preload pressure diagnosis can be performed, in which the diagnostic module (79) checks charging behavior of the pressure accumulator (25) by using the
pressure sensor (34) arranged in the clutch path (30, 31).
