Method for parameterizing a sensor system for a vehicle, wherein the sensor system at least has: a plurality of sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) which each have a bus connection device and each output at least one measurement signal (Si) via their bus connection device, and a bus master, wherein the bus master and the plurality of sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) form a bus system, wherein the sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) can be parameterized by the bus master with allocation of their bus addresses in the bus system, wherein the sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) can each be parameterized on the basis of the detection of an external influence, wherein the external influence is or causes a fault state of a sensitive element of the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) which can be produced by a user by covering the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4), in which, for the bus addresses to be allocated, at least the following steps are iteratively carried out for one bus address in each case: - outputting a request signal to the user to produce an external influence on the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed using the bus address, for example by covering the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4), - outputting conditional addressing commands to the bus by means of the bus master, wherein the conditional addressing commands contain the bus address, - transferring the stated new bus address if the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed detects the external influence and receives the conditional addressing commands. a plurality of sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) which each have a bus connection device and each output at least one measurement signal (Si) via their bus connection device, and a bus master, wherein the bus master and the plurality of sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) form a bus system, wherein the sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) can be parameterized by the bus master with allocation of their bus addresses in the bus system, wherein the sensors (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) can each be parameterized on the basis of the detection of an external influence, wherein the external influence is or causes a fault state of a sensitive element of the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) which can be produced by a user by covering the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4), in which, for the bus addresses to be allocated, at least the following steps are iteratively carried out for one bus address in each case: - outputting a request signal to the user to produce an external influence on the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed using the bus address, for example by covering the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4), - outputting conditional addressing commands to the bus by means of the bus master, wherein the conditional addressing commands contain the bus address, - transferring the stated new bus address if the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed detects the external influence and receives the conditional addressing commands. - outputting a request signal to the user to produce an external influence on the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed using the bus address, for example by covering the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4), - outputting conditional addressing commands to the bus by means of the bus master, wherein the conditional addressing commands contain the bus address, - transferring the stated new bus address if the sensor (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4) to be addressed detects the external influence and receives the conditional addressing commands.
