DRIVE May 6, 2021

A sensor assembly for a vehicle includes a sensor element and at least two control devices, each having an evaluation and control unit and a power source. A first evaluation and control unit is connected to a first power source in a first control device, and a second evaluation and control unit is connected to a second power source in a second control device. The first control device comprises a switching device which connects a first connection of the sensor element to the first power source and/or to the second power source. A second connection of the sensor element is connected to the second control device. A sensor current flowing through the sensor element is modulated with information relating to a detected measurement variable. The first evaluation and control unit evaluates the sensor current detected between the connected power source and the sensor element.
