Method for verifying integrity of sensitive vehicle control system, involves taking remedial action when fault is detected and resetting operation control module when fault is detected and remedial action is not taken

摘要

The method involves controlling operation of a vehicle system using an operation control module (202) and detecting a fault in the operation control module when the operation control module fails an integrity test. A remedial action is taken when the fault is detected. The operation control module is reset when the fault is detected and the remedial action is not taken. The operation control module is reset by instructing the operation control module to stop servicing a watchdog timer module (212).
