Abstract

In order to detect a sensor malfunction, the outputs of two sensors which sense the same operational parameter are both compared with a predetermined value. When the outputs of the sensors fall on either side of the predetermined value the one having the lower value is assumed to be inoperative. The comparison is continually repeated and the operative/inoperative status of the sensors continually updated.
