The invention relates to a sensor device for a vehicle for capacitively detecting input means in the region of a detection area, having a first sensor electrode and a second sensor electrode and an evaluation unit which is electrically connected to a respective first connection of the first sensor electrode and of the second sensor electrode via connection lines. The object of the invention is to provide a particularly accurate and reliable sensor device for a vehicle for capacitively detecting input means. The object according to the invention is achieved by using respective second connections on the first sensor electrode and on the second sensor electrode and by means of corresponding methods for detecting the presence of input means and for detecting faults.
