Abstract
A method for testing a sensor with a primary inductor which is galvanically isolated from first and second secondary inductors which are respectively coupled inductively to the primary inductor, including: calculating a sensor output signal, wherein the sensor output signal is dependent on the coupling between the primary inductor and the first secondary inductor as well as that between the primary inductor and the second secondary inductor; determining a first electrical variable, which is different from the sensor output signal; comparing the first electrical variable with a first limiting value in order to determine whether the sensor is in a faulty state, as well as to a corresponding device and to a sensor having the device.
