Abstract

A system for detecting a positional status of a vehicle treatment device is provided. The vehicle treatment device is rotatable relative to a support structure. A plurality of proximity sensors are disposed on the support structure. A flag is rotationally fixed to the treatment device and is configured to activate at least one of the sensors during a predetermined movement to determine orientation. In response to a deviation, external force, or impact on the treatment device, the flag pivots or moves relative to the support structure and sensors in an unexpected manner, causing a deviation from an expected activation of the sensors according to the predetermined movement.
