Method for shifting an electric control device in a motor vehicle from an idle state into an operational state activates an idle evaluation unit in the control device via wake-up signals during regular gaps of time

摘要

An evaluation unit for a control device detects wake-up signals transmitted by a remote switch unit to an assigned signal input for the control device and is activated for a relatively short period from an idle state during regular relatively long gaps of time, the length of which for detecting wake-up signals can be changed by relying on the task/location of the control device in a vehicle or the locked-up status of the vehicle. An Independent claim is also included for an electric control device for a motor vehicle.
