Abstract
A position sensor for a motor vehicle, which generates, as a sensor signal, a pulse-width modulated signal that varies as a function of position, has a total measuring range which is subdivided into multiple, similar, sequentially-adjacent, measuring sections. The position sensor of the invention provides error-free transition between the sequentially-adjacent measuring sections.
