Abstract
A device for monitoring a pressure sensor, which is positioned in a braking system of a vehicle. For this purpose, the device contains arrangement with which, during a braking action, a first vehicle motion variable is ascertained, which characterizes a vehicle motion in the longitudinal direction. The device further includes arrangement with which a mass variable is ascertained, which characterizes the mass of the vehicle. Using further arrangement, it is ascertained, for the monitoring of the pressure sensor, whether the first vehicle motion variable lies within a value range for the first vehicle motion variable, whose limits are ascertained as a function of the mass variable.
