Abstract

A method is specified for monitoring an electronic control unit for a motor vehicle. An electronic control unit with a monitoring circuit, which contains at least one sensor component, is provided. A measured value is recorded by means of the at least one sensor component, on the basis of which an actual value of a characteristic value representative for the thermal, mechanical and/or chemical loading of the control unit is determined and compared with a predetermined set-point value. A signal is emitted as a function of the result of the comparison. A device and a control unit are additionally specified.
