Control device in a motor vehicle and a method of attaching a pressure sensor used by the control device

A control device in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a pressure sensor for measuring a fluid pressure in a motor vehicle;
• a housing enclosing said pressure sensor, said housing having a metallic baseplate connected in pressure-tight fashion to a motor vehicle unit carrying the fluid to be measured, said baseplate having a bore hole formed therein through which said pressure sensor is exposed to the fluid pressure;
• an electronic control circuit electrically connected to said pressure sensor and accommodated in said housing;
• and
• a metallic carrier supporting said pressure sensor, said metallic carrier having a cylinder-like projection pressed into said bore hole such that a pressure-tight and frictionally locking connection is produced between said carrier and said baseplate as a result of a displacement of metallic materials having mutually different degrees of hardness.
