Abstract

A motor vehicle control module is described comprising a control unit with a carrier body, a circuit arrangement applied on the carrier body, a housing body that at least partially encloses the carrier body, at least one stamped grid with several stamped grid connections integrated in the housing body, and also the sensors and/or actuators with sensor elements and sensor connections and respectively actuator elements and actuator connections associated to the control unit. To reduce the space requirement and the costs and to improve the susceptibility to faults in the signal transmission from the sensors/actuators to the control unit, at least some of the sensors/actuators are situated in the control unit or in the immediate proximity of the control unit and are contacted by directly joining their respective sensor connections or actuator connections with stamped grid connections of the stamped grid of the control unit.
