Various teachings of the present disclosure include a method for identifying manipulation of a sensor unit including a measuring unit to measure a physical property and a control unit to receive measurement signals from the measuring unit and to send control signals to the measuring unit. The method may include: sending a diagnostic signal to the measuring unit from the control unit; and receiving at the control unit a response signal generated by the measuring unit in response to the diagnostic signal; or identifying manipulation of the sensor unit if a response signal is not received.
