Abstract
This invention concerns a test procedure for a safety system in motor vehicles, in particular occupant protection devices such as airbag, belt tightener, or roll bar sensors. As a rule, the associated safety-critical circuit components of such safety systems will be monitored by additional and separate monitoring processors. According to this invention, a test procedure for these safety-critical circuit components requires little expense and which, using a simple-to-implement monitoring unit, will allow the same test quality to be achieved as with an independent monitoring computer.
