Abstract

For connecting a diagnostic unit to a vehicle controller of a motor vehicle via a network connection, it is provided that, when the connection has been established between the diagnostic unit and the vehicle controller, a check is performed as to whether the diagnostic unit is directly connected to the vehicle controller. The diagnostic unit receives diagnostic data from the vehicle controller only when there is a direct connection.
