  • Method and device for establishing a fault in connecting lines between a central unit and a plurality of electronic components which are independent of one another
    Patent number: 9341666
    Abstract: A method for establishing at least one fault in connecting lines between electronic connection units and peripheral units, which are independent of one another, includes: outputting a start signal from the control unit to a first of the connection units, to start the establishment of the fault; applying a test signal to an interface of a first one of the connection units, the application of the test signal being monitored and/or controlled by a non-volatile first algorithm of the first connection unit; registering a cross-coupling of the test signal to an interface of a second connection unit and storing a fault value representing the cross-coupling in a first register, the registration and the storage of the fault value being monitored and/or controlled by a nonvolatile second algorithm of the second connection unit.

  • Method for error handling for a control device for a passenger protection system and a control device for a passenger protection system
    Publication number: 20110130920
    Abstract: A method for error handling for a control device for a passenger protection system and a corresponding control device are provided, the error handling being implemented by switching off at least one function of the control device as a function of an error detection. The switching off takes place immediately after the error detection, the error qualification taking place after the switching off.
