  • Detection device for detecting mechanical functional states of a motor vehicle lock
    Patent number: 10407948
    Abstract: The invention relates to a detection device for detecting mechanical functional states of a motor vehicle lock, in which at least two binary signal outputs are provided which define a logical state of the detection device through the respective electrical potentials present there. It is proposed that the functional state of the motor vehicle lock is determined on the basis of the logical state of the signal outputs and of the electrical resistance between the predetermined signal outputs.
