Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for detecting a changing quantity for a motor vehicle. The changing quantity is the position of an operator-controlled element. At least one stop value is determined for the operator-controlled element when released. Outside of the operation of the motor vehicle, this stop value is dependent upon the operation of a test apparatus connected to the control unit of the motor and/or when a defined state of the control unit and/or when there is a defined sequence of specific actuations of operator-controlled elements.
