CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING/REGULATING THE OPERATIONAL SEQUENCES OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND A METHOD FOR STARTING SUCH A CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a control device (1) and to a method for controlling/regulating the operational sequences of a motor vehicle, and to a method for starting such a control device (1). The invention is characterized in that a program, which can be executed independent of the frequency of the CPU (2), is provided inside a storage medium (4) of the control device (1). Said program enables a verification of the clock frequency of the CPU (2) and can initiate measures for reprogramming the program. During start-up or operation of the control device (1), the frequency of the CPU (2) is firstly verified, that is, the frequency of the CPU is compared with the frequency expected in the program. Afterwards, measures for reprogramming the program are optionally initiated.
