Device for detection of corrosion in electronic control units for motor vehicle braking systems comprises a corrosion sensitive electronic component that is monitored to detect early signs of corrosion, thus improving safety

摘要

The electronic control device has a corrosion sensitive electronic component with a defined corrosion sensitivity. The component is linked to a fault detection device that reacts to a change in the corrosion sensitivity of the component. The corrosion sensitive element comprises one or more wires of conducting material that is susceptible to corrosion.
