POWERTRAIN CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING SENSORS THAT STORE POWERTRAIN FAULT CONDITION DATA

A sensor is provided for use in a control system of a powertrain, such as for a vehicle or other application. The sensor provides outputs indicative of one or more operating parameters of the powertrain to a control unit of the control system. The control unit is configured to determine if a fault condition is present based at least in part on the outputs provided by the sensor. Fault condition data for fault conditions that are determined to be present at least in part on the sensor outputs are recorded on a memory of the sensor.
