1. A method of initializing a system for an open/closed-loop control of an operating sequence of a motor vehicle that includes a controller connected to a plurality of sensors via a data bus, the method comprising the steps of:

  • subdividing the sensors into sensors of the same type;

    causing the controller to transmit a transmission request to the sensors of the same type;

    causing the sensors of the same type to transmit a response to the controller that is staggered in time by an operation of a staggering arrangement; and

    during the transmission of the response, causing the controller to overwrite a data field of each response of the sensors with a sensor-specific identifier and a corresponding transmission priority.
