Method for a sensor assembly, sensor assembly, computer program product and computer-readable medium

A method for a sensor assembly of a motor vehicle comprising a vehicle variable sensor for detecting at least one vehicle variable in at least one operating routine of the sensor assembly, the method comprising:

• self-calibrating the vehicle variable sensor of the sensor assembly in a self-calibration routine of the sensor assembly after the sensor assembly is installed in the vehicle, an actual arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle being automatically ascertained via the sensor assembly and compared with at least one previously defined setpoint arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle that is stored in the sensor assembly for the at least one operating routine of the sensor assembly;
• and
• outputting an error message if the actual arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle automatically ascertained via the sensor assembly does not essentially match any of the at least one previously defined setpoint arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle, or, if the actual arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle automatically ascertained via the sensor assembly does essentially match one of the at least one previously defined setpoint arrangement of the sensor assembly with respect to the vehicle, storing an operating routine of the sensor assembly correlating to the one of the at least one previously defined setpoint arrangement for a subsequent operation of the vehicle variable sensor of the sensor assembly,
• wherein the vehicle variable sensor is a vehicle level sensor.
