1. A computer-implemented method for checking the proper functioning of a component in a vehicle by evaluating the system state of the component, the method comprising:

  • measuring at least one state variable of the component, wherein the at least one state variable includes at least one of linear acceleration, transverse acceleration, and rate of rotation; and

    checking, using the computer, the at least one measured state variable for the presence of at least one characteristic feature descriptive of the system state of the component, wherein the amplitude of the at least one measured state variable is checked as the at least one characteristic feature.
