Method to fasten a sensor to a motor vehicle body uses two stages to determine relative positions of pivot arm and body, before fixing relative positions of sensor and body

摘要

The sensor (9) is mechanically coupled to a pivot arm (3) to detect the relative position of arm and body (2). In a first stage, the relative position of a pivot axis (5) of the arm relative to the body is determined, and in a second stage, the position of a sensor fastening aperture (15) relative to the first position is determined. The sensor fastening aperture is inserted into the vehicle body, and the sensor is fastened to the body.
