Method for detecting attempted manipulation of a sensor of a vehicle, wherein the sensor is a weighing sensor assigned to an axle of the vehicle, wherein the sensor is a pressure sensor or a level sensor or a sensor with a strain gauge, and wherein the sensor is configured, during intended operation, to record a measured value of a first measurement variable and to output a first measurement signal representative of this measured value, wherein the first measurement variable differs from an electromagnetic field, and wherein the first measurement variable is a force or force distribution acting on the axle of the vehicle, comprising the steps of: A2) reading in a second measurement signal representative of a measured value of an electromagnetic field acting in the region of the sensor, wherein the second measurement signal is representative of a measured value of an electromagnetic field detected with the aid of a Hall probe and/or a coil arranged in the spatial region occupied by the sensor or in a section of this spatial region; B2) determining whether the second measurement signal undershoots or exceeds a predefined threshold; C2) outputting an output signal representative of attempted manipulation of the sensor if it is determined in step B2) that the second measurement signal undershoots or exceeds the predefined threshold; and comprising the steps of: A1) reading in the first measurement signal representative of the measured value of the first measurement variable which is recorded using the sensor; B1) determining whether the first measurement signal is outside a predefined useful range; C1) outputting an output signal representative of attempted manipulation of the sensor if it is determined in step B1) that the first measurement signal is outside the predefined useful range. A2) reading in a second measurement signal representative of a measured value of an electromagnetic field acting in the region of the sensor, wherein the second measurement signal is representative of a measured value of an electromagnetic field detected with the aid of a Hall probe and/or a coil arranged in the spatial region occupied by the sensor or in a section of this spatial region; B2) determining whether the second measurement signal undershoots or exceeds a predefined threshold; C2) outputting an output signal representative of attempted manipulation of the sensor if it is determined in step B2) that the second measurement signal undershoots or exceeds the predefined threshold; and comprising the steps of: A1) reading in the first measurement signal representative of the measured value of the first measurement variable which is recorded using the sensor; B1) determining whether the first measurement signal is outside a predefined useful range; C1) outputting an output signal representative of attempted manipulation of the sensor if it is determined in step B1) that the first measurement signal is outside the predefined useful range. A1) reading in the first measurement signal representative of the measured value of the first measurement variable which is recorded using the sensor; B1) determining whether the first measurement signal is outside a predefined useful range; C1) outputting an output signal representative of attempted manipulation of the sensor if it is determined in step B1) that the first measurement signal is outside the predefined useful range.
