SIGNAL FAILURE DETECTION METHOD, WHEREBY THE SIGNAL REPRESENTS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the detection of the failure of a system (18) which transmits a signal that is representative of the depression of a motor vehicle accelerator pedal (12). The inventive method is of the type that comprises a failure test step (E2). The invention is characterised in that it comprises a pre-step (E1) consisting in testing the stability of the depression of the accelerator pedal (12) in order to prevent failure detection errors, during which the main accelerator pedal (12) depression stability conditions (CS) are tested.
