Control device for controlling/regulating the operational sequences in a motor vehicle, and a method of starting such a control device

摘要

A control device (1) and a method for controlling/regulating the operational sequences in a motor vehicle, and a method for starting such a control device (1) are described. The essence of the present invention is to specify a program in a storage medium (4) of the control device (1) that is able to be executed independently of the frequency of the CPU (2), the program allowing the pulse frequency of the CPU (2) to be checked and measures for reprogramming the program to be initiated. During starting or operation of the control device (1), the frequency of the CPU (2) is checked first or the frequency of the CPU is compared to the frequency expected in the program. If necessary, measures for reprogramming the program are subsequently initiated.
