1. A sensor assembly providing values of a physical property of a vehicle, comprising an electronic circuitry comprising a sensor suited to sense the physical property and a locking arrangement, and further an exhaustable power source, and a first and a second switch means functionally arranged in parallel and between the circuitry and the power source, wherein the first switch means is controllable from outside the sensor assembly, preferably by means of a field, and that the 2nd switch means is controllable by the locking arrangement, so that starting with a storage mode where both switch means are open, the 1st switch is closable from outside the sensor assembly, and the locking arrangement powered-on thereby is capable to activate the 2nd switch means so that reopening the 1st switch means is no more capable to interrupt the connection between power source and circuitry.
