  • Patent number: 12504337
    Abstract: A method for determining a function criterion of a measuring transducer of a motor vehicle, comprising: determining, with the aid of preconditions, whether a predefined vehicle state of the motor vehicle is present; capturing measured values of at least three measuring transducers which measure the same measured variable; calculating a measure of central tendency from the captured measured values; calculating a comparison value from the captured measured value with respect to the calculated measure of central tendency; ascertaining the function criterion of the measuring transducer, based on a comparison of the calculated comparison value with a threshold value, the capture of the measured values being carried out within a time period after the initialization of the controller, the ascertained function criterion being determined if the preconditions have been met and the provided vehicle state is thus present.
