Abstract
A method of rationalizing a sensor of a vehicle is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving an output from a wheel speed sensor, receiving an output from a lateral accelerometer, receiving an output from a steering angle sensor, determining whether an evaluation event exists based on the output from the wheel speed sensor, evaluating one of the steering angle sensor output or the lateral accelerometer sensor output during the evaluation event, and determining whether the other of the steering angle sensor output or the lateral accelerometer sensor output exceeds a test threshold value during the evaluation event.
