Short circuit of DI 0 with DI 1 No No No
Short circuit of DI 0 with DI 5 No No No
P-short circuit of DI 0 Yes No No
M-short circuit of DI 0 Yes* Yes* No
Discrepancy error Yes Yes Yes
P-short circuit of Vs1 Yes No No
M-short circuit of Vs1, or Vs2

Yes Yes Yes
Short circuit of Vs1 with Vs2 Yes No No
Fault in read/test circuit Yes Yes Yes
Supply voltage fault Yes Yes Yes
*: Fault is detected only in case of signal corruption. That is, the signal read differs from the sensor
signal (discrepancy error). If there is no signal corruption relative to the sensor signal, fault detection
is not possible and is not required from a safety standpoint.
