A method of detecting the separation of an electronic module () from a vehicle on which the module is mounted. According to this method, the module () has associated with it an inductance () inseparable from the module, the inductance () and the associated module () are connected to an element of the vehicle, in the immediate vicinity of an element () made of ferromagnetic material, the current passing through the inductance () is measured (monitored), so as to detect any variation of current and, when a current variation greater than a predetermined variation threshold is detected, representative of a relative distance between the inductance () and the element made of ferromagnetic material (), there is ordered the emission of a signal indicating the separation of the module () associated with the inductance from the vehicle.
