  • Method and apparatus for operating a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10081318
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle includes receiving measurement signals which include information relating to a temporal current and/or volt profile of an electronic control unit of the motor vehicle. The method also provides vehicle information which includes information relating to a desired state of the electronic control unit. The method also determines a discrepancy between the received measurement signals and the vehicle information provided. If the discrepancy determined is greater than a predefined tolerance value, a manipulated state of the electronic control unit is determined as part of the method.
