Method and apparatus for controlling the function of a number of sensor elements of a vehicle

Sensors (S1-S4) measure a motor vehicle's physical operating parameters and send a signal to a central control unit (11), where comparison of signal strength (SS) in received signals with a preset upper and lower limiting SS determines whether a number of SS that equals the number of sensors fa...

description Sensors (S1-S4) measure a motor vehicle's physical operating parameters and send a signal to a central control unit (11), where comparison of signal strength (SS) in received signals with a preset upper and lower limiting SS determines whether a number of SS that equals the number of sensors fall into a certain SS band. Otherwise, a test signal shows one sensor not working. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) A device for controlling the functional capability of a definite number of vehicle-dependent sensors on a motor vehicle that communicate with a control unit to carry out the method of the present invention; (B) and for a control unit with an onboard computer display device, a display for navigation equipment or a dashboard panel display device for showing an acoustic and/or optical test signal. Bei einem Verfahren zum Kontrollieren der Funktionsfähigkeit einer definierten Anzahl (Z) fahrzeugabhängiger Sensoren (S) an einem Kraftfahrzeug (10) messen die Sensoren (S) physikalische Betriebsparameter des Kraftfahrzeuges (10) und signalisieren diese an eine zentrale Steuereinheit (11), an der durch Vergleichen der Signalstärke (F) empfangener Signale mit einer vorgebbaren oberen und unteren Grenz-Signalstärke (Fo, Fu) festgestellt wird, ob eine Anzahl von Signalstärken (F), die gleich der Anzahl (Z) der Sensoren (S) ist, in ein derart gebildetes Signalstärkenband (Fb) fallen, anderenfalls wird ein Prüfsignal abgegeben, das wenigstens einen der Sensoren (S) als nicht funktionsfähig anzeigt.
