Abstract
Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for detecting manipulation of a sensor including a measuring unit to measure a physical property and a control unit connected to the measuring unit to receive measurement signals from the measuring unit and to send control signals to the measuring unit. The method may include: sending a predetermined diagnostic signal to the measuring unit using the control unit; receiving a response signal generated by the measuring unit in response to the predetermined diagnostic signal; and identifying manipulation of the sensor unit if the response signal received deviates from a predetermined reference signal by more than a threshold value.
