1. A steering angle sensing system comprising:

  • at least one steering angle sensing device configured to output an analog signal representative of a steering angle position of a steering wheel;

    a first processor operably coupled to and disposed proximate said at least one steering angle sensing device, said first processor being configured to;

    receive the analog signals output by said at least one steering angle sensing device;

    compute a steering angle value based upon the analog signals; and

    output a pulse width modulated signal representative of the computed steering angle value; and

    a second processor disposed non-proximate said at least one steering angle sensing device and operably coupled to said first processor to thereby receive the pulse width modulated signal representative of the computed steering angle value.
