Abstract

A system and technique for determining functionality of a hydraulic system including first and second motors mutually coupled in driving relation with a pump, a sensor generating a signal representative of a monitored condition, and a controller configured to selectively control activation and deactivation of the motors. Fitness detection logic stored in memory of the controller is executable by a processor to: determine, based on the signal while the first motor is activated and second motor is deactivated during a first test interval, whether the monitored condition meets a predefined threshold prior to expiration of the first test interval; determine, based on the signal while the second motor is activated and first motor is deactivated during a second test interval, whether the monitored condition meets the predefined threshold prior to expiration of the second test interval; and generate a readiness signal representative of the determined functionality of the hydraulic system.
