METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A POSITION SENSOR IN A MOTOR VEHICLE GEAR
Method for calibrating a position sensor in a motor vehicle transmission comprising a gear housing with a housing (10) included therein for the position sensor, said sensor housing comprising a pressure member (14) that is held moveably inside the housing (10), said member being pre-stressed elastically against a switch bump and comprising an electric path sensor (38) actuated by the pressure member (14) for measuring the position of the pressure member (14) relative to the housing (10), characterized in that after the housing (10) of the position sensor is installed into the gear housing, at least one calibration measurement is carried out by the path sensor (38) for at least one gear position and for the associated measured value of the path sensor a tolerance zone is defined for each gear position to be detected using the results of the respective calibration measurement.
