Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting failure of a sensor in a control system (420) for a gas turbine engine. A filtered signal is received from the sensor. A high-pass filter (510) is applied to the filtered signal to produce a high-frequency component signal. A rate of occurrence of signal spikes in the high-frequency component signal is determined (520). The high-frequency component signal is compared (530) to a component signal threshold based on at least one known healthy component signal and at least one faulty component signal, wherein the faulty component signal is based on a known faulty signal caused by intermittent open circuits. The presence of intermittent open circuits caused by the sensor is detected (500) based on the comparing and on the rate of occurrence of signal spikes.
