Claim Text:
1. A shift-by-wire system for a vehicle comprising: a shift lever movable along a shift path between a plurality of range positions arranged in a shift pattern; a first position sensor configured to sense a position of the shift lever along the shift path, and to generate a corresponding first position signal having a first x-coordinate value and a first y-coordinate value; a second position sensor configured to sense the position of the shift lever along the shift path, and to generate a corresponding second position signal having a second x-coordinate value and a second y-coordinate value; and a single controller configured to receive both the first position signal from the first position sensor and the second position signal from the second position sensor, and to determine if at least one of the first position signal and the second position signal accurately communicates the position of the shift lever.
