    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided which generate an error signal if a sensor is either anticipated to fail or fails. At least two sensors provide input signals having magnitudes that approximately correspond to a sensed event. A processor calculates an actual correlation error for the two signals. A processor then further calculates an estimated new correlation value based on the difference of a stored initial correlation value and the actual correlation error. After a predetermined number of estimated correlation values are calculated, the error signal is generated if the difference between an estimated correlation value and the actual correlation error exceeds a predetermined threshold.
