Abstract

A method detects errors during execution of software based programs in a system of motor vehicle components. During execution a component executes its assigned program, and the components call each other interactively. When a component is called, a program identity and an error parameter are transmitted from the other component to the component. If a component identifies an error during execution, it stores an active error entry that contains the program identity, the component identification and an error status. If a component, which has called another component, receives the component identification, it stores a passive error entry that contains the program identity, its component identification and the identification of the other component. A component, which stores one or more active or passive error entries, returns the program identity and the component identification of the component, at least once during program execution, to the component that has called it.
