Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for repairing vehicle electronics containing a plurality of control units on which software and a configuration code describing the configuration of the vehicle electronics in terms of hardware and software is stored. Before a defective control unit is replaced, it is checked whether the configuration of the vehicle electronics changes due to the replacement unit. If the configuration of the vehicle electronics does not change, the defective control unit is replaced. After the defective control unit has been replaced, it is checked whether the new control unit has to be programmed. If the new control unit does not have to be programmed, the actual state is read out from all the control units and it is checked whether the actual state corresponds to the configuration code of the vehicle electronics. If the actual state corresponds to the configuration code, the repair is ended.
