METHOD FOR DETECTING A FAULTY TEMPERATURE SENSOR OUT OF A PLURALITY OF TEMPERATURE SENSORS IN A BATTERY ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE, DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER PROGRAM, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, BATTERY ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE

The disclosure relates to a method for detecting a faulty temperature sensor out of a plurality of temperature sensors in a battery assembly for a vehicle. Each of the plurality of temperature sensors is arranged in an associated location. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of data items (DI), wherein each data item (DI) is associated with a temperature sensor out of the plurality of temperature sensors and wherein each data item (DI) is indicative of a temperature and a location of the associated temperature sensor. The method further comprises comparing the data items (DI) with respect to the associated temperatures and/or the associated locations. Moreover, the method comprises determining, based on the comparing, one or more outlier data items (DI) out of the plurality of data items (DI) and inferring the one or more temperature sensors associated with the one or more outlier data items (DI) to be faulty. The disclosure further relates to a data processing apparatus, to a computer program and to a computer-readable storage medium. Furthermore, the disclosure is directed to a battery assembly for a vehicle and to a vehicle comprising the battery assembly.
