A method for diagnosing a motor vehicle and a control device for controlling a motor vehicle, a plurality of characteristic values, which are used for controlling the motor vehicle, being adapted. The adapted characteristic values are compared in each case to a threshold value, and an error message is generated if the adapted characteristic value goes beyond the threshold value. Normalized characteristic values are formed by a normalization, and a possibly faulty component of the motor vehicle is identified by a joint observation of a plurality of normalized characteristic values.
