1. A thermal management system for a vehicle comprising:
a battery;
an electric motor that is at least oil-cooled,
wherein a temperature of the battery and the electric motor is to be controlled, for driving the vehicle;
a monitoring system configured to monitor an oil flow, which is generated by an oil pump, in an oil cooling circuit comprising the electric motor;
a first pressure sensor at a first point of the oil cooling circuit; and
at least one of:
a second pressure sensor at a second point of the oil cooling circuit and
a speed sensor assigned to the oil pump,
wherein a stator of the electric motor is encompassed by a coolant circuit,
wherein a rotor of the electric motor is encompassed by the oil cooling circuit, and
wherein the oil cooling circuit is thermally connected to the coolant circuit via a heat exchanger.
