A system and method are provided for detecting a spall in an engine (100). The vehicle, for example, may include, but is not limited to an engine, an oil debris sensor (140) coupled to the engine (100), a communications system, and a processor (160) communicatively coupled to the oil debris sensor (140) and the communications system. The processor (160) may be configured to increment a counter when the oil debris sensor (140) detects a particle over a predetermined size, increment the counter when a mass of a plurality of particles under the predetermined size exceeds a predetermined mass threshold, transmit, via the communications system, a first message when the counter exceeds a predetermined counter threshold, and reset the counter after predetermined amount of time. |
