Abstract
A signal transfer system for regulating operation of an internal combustion engine includes a shaft that is rotatably driven within an engine. A sensor is responsive to the rotation of the shaft and generates a data signal based on the rotation. A communications bus receives the data signal and generates a replicated data signal based. A first control module receives the replicated data signal and regulates operation of the vehicle based on the replicated data signal.
