METHOD FOR DETECTING FAULT OF VEHICLE MOTION SENSORS

A method for detecting fault in vehicle motion sensors for a motor vehicle includes providing a measured lateral acceleration signal and yaw rate signal. The method further includes calculating, respectively, a first and second road bank angle estimate based on these signals. Also included is determining a first and second maximum road bank angle based on the first and second road bank angle, respectively, and calculating a first and second threshold based on these values. The method further includes comparing whether the first and second road bank angles exceeds the second and first thresholds, respectively, and if so, indicating either one or both a lateral acceleration signal fault or yaw rate signal fault.
