Abstract

See full text

There is provided a method for diagnosing an abnormal state of a sensor having a nonlinear output characteristic in which an output signal of a sensor changes nonlinearly. The method includes the steps of determining a first detection value which is indicated by the output signal of the sensor at a predetermined time, and determining a second detection value which is indicated by the output signal of the sensor obtained when a detection value indicated by the output signal has changed by a predetermined variation from the first detection value. The method also includes judging whether or not a deviation between the first detection value and the second detection value is out of a predetermined range, and determining that the sensor has an abnormal state when it is determined that the deviation is out of the predetermined range.
