SHIFT RAIL TRANSMISSION POSITION SENSING WITH A MINIMUM NUMBER OF SENSORS
First Claim
1. A control module, comprising:
- a processing component configured to;
receive position sensor data from a first sensor attached to a shift rail of a transmission; and
determine from the first sensor data whether the shift rail is in a position of engagement of a first gear, a position of engagement of a second gear, or in a neutral position.

Abstract
A processing component configured to receive position sensor data from a first sensor attached to a shift rail of a transmission and determine from the first sensor data whether the shift rail is in a position of engagement of a first gear or a second gear or in a neutral position; receive position sensor data from a second sensor attached to the shift rail, determine from the second sensor data whether the shift rail is in a position of engagement of the first gear or the second gear or in the neutral position; compare the position determined from the first sensor data with the position determined from the second sensor data, and verify the shift rail position based on the comparison.
Further, a method for verifying shift rail position based on comparing data received from a first and a second sensor attached to the shift rail.
