Abstract
A method of initializing a system for open/closed-loop control of the operating sequences of a motor vehicle is described. The system has a controller which is connected to a number of sensors via a data bus. The sensors have suitable means which allow a response to be transmitted staggered in time. In order to initialize the system, the controller first transmits a transmission request to sensors of the same type. The sensors of the same type transmit responses staggered in time back to the controller. During the transmission of the responses, a data field of each response is overwritten by the controller with a sensor-specific identifier and a corresponding transmission priority.
