1. An electronic transmission range selection system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a first input device that is user actuatable to request operation of a transmission in reverse, neutral, and drive;
a first module that generates first signals based on a first position of the first input device;
a second input device that is different than the first input device and that is user actuatable to request operation of the transmission in park; and
a second module that generates second signals based on a second position of the second input device,wherein the first module includes at least two sensors that generate third signals based on the first position of the first input device, andwherein the first module generates the first signals based on the third signals.

Abstract
An electronic transmission range selection system of a vehicle includes first and second input devices and first and second modules. The first input device is user actuatable to request operation of a transmission in reverse, neutral, and drive. The first module generates first signals based on a first position of the first input device. The second input device is different than the first input device and is user actuatable to request operation of the transmission in park. The second module generates second signals based on a second position of the second input device.
