  • Sensor error detection in a dual sensor system
    Patent number: 6485114
    Abstract: A method and system for determining the operating integrity of a dual sensor system takes in signals from each of the sensors in the dual sensor system. The signals are preferably generally on the same cycle, and the control evaluates whether a single sensor has sent two consecutive cycle signals to the control without a corresponding cycle from the other of the sensors. If so, an indication is made that the other of the sensors may be failing, or is intermittent. Preferably the sensors are associated with wheel speed indicators and the control is an ABS control.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 26, 2002
    Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation
