Sensor trouble detecting method and apparatus

摘要

In a method for detecting the occurrence of a fault in a first sensor for producing first pulses of a repetitive time period related to a first condition to be detected or the occurrence of fault in a second sensor for producing second pulses indicative of a second condition to be detected at a ratio of one pulse to the production of N first pulses, the first pulses and the second pulses are used for monitoring each other and the detection of the occurrence of trouble in these sensors can be carried out with high reliability.
