ABSTRACT:
In a sensor malfunction detecting system, if an absolute value of a difference between acceleration values obtained from outputs of at least two of a pressure sensor a torque sensor, and a speed sensor, and an acceleration sensor is determined to be out of a range of a corresponding prescribed value then a corresponding count value is incremented by "1". The above described operation is repeated until the count value exceeds a prescribed target value whereupon it is determined that one of the sensors is malfunctioning, and a sensor malfunction signal is output. Accordingly, failure of a vehicle control system which controls braking force, for example, based on the output from the sensors can be prevented, which leads to improved safety during driving. Further, a sensor malfunction detecting system can be provided at a low cost.
