DETECTION DEVICE FOR DETECTING MECHANICAL FUNCTIONAL STATES OF A MOTOR VEHICLE LOCK
First Claim
1. A detection device for detecting mechanical functional states of a motor vehicle lock, in which at least two binary signal outputs are provided which define a logical state of the detection device through the respective electrical potentials present there, in which, in the assembled state, each functional state of the motor vehicle lock generates a logical state of the detection device, and in which a control arrangement is provided which is coupled electrically with the signal outputs and, on the basis of this coupling, determines the functional state of the motor vehicle lock, whereinin the assembled state, at least two functional states of the motor vehicle lock generate one and the same logical state—
- multiple state—
of the detection device, that these functional states are distinguishable in that the electrical resistance between two predetermined signal outputs of the detection device differs depending on the respective functional state of the motor vehicle lock, and that the control arrangement determines the functional state of the motor vehicle lock on the basis of the logical state of the signal outputs and of the electrical resistance between the predetermined signal outputs.

Abstract
The invention relates to a detection device for detecting mechanical functional states of a motor vehicle lock, in which at least two binary signal outputs are provided which define a logical state of the detection device through the respective electrical potentials present there. It is proposed that the functional state of the motor vehicle lock is determined on the basis of the logical state of the signal outputs and of the electrical resistance between the predetermined signal outputs.
