Since turn signals are a safety item, what about failure modes?
By tying into the ABS system, there is safety and redundancy built in to the system. For instance, INTELLITURN only needs two sensors to operate, but there are usually four sensors on the vehicle. If, for example, one of the wheel speed sensors fails, the ABS computer would detect the failure, put on the ABS light at the instrumentation to alert the driver. As the failure is detected, INTELLITURN would then seamlessly switch the sensing to the other two sensors to detect vehicle dynamics. The driver would not even know that the turn signal system made the switch because the turn signals would maintain their optimized performance continuously until the failure is corrected.
