Wheel lift identification for an automotive vehicle using passive and active detection

A method of controlling a vehicle comprising:

• passively detecting wheel lift and generating a passive wheel lift signal in response thereto;
• actively detecting wheel lift and generating a passive wheel lift signal in response thereto;
• and
• preventing the vehicle from rolling over in response to the active wheel lift signal and the passive wheel lift signal.

A method of controlling an automotive vehicle having a first wheel a second wheel, a third wheel and a fourth wheel comprising:

• generating a first passive wheel lift signal, a second passive wheel lift signal, a third passive wheel lift signal, a fourth passive wheel lift signal;
• generating first active wheel lift signal, a second active wheel lift signal, a third active wheel lift signal, a fourth active wheel lift signal;
• and
• generating a first final wheel lift signal in response to the first passive wheel lift signal and the first active wheel lift signal;
• generating a second final wheel lift signal in response to the second passive wheel lift signal and the second active wheel lift signal;
• generating a third final wheel lift signal in response to the third passive wheel lift signal and the third active wheel lift signal;
• generating a fourth final wheel lift signal in response to the fourth passive wheel lift signal and the fourth active wheel lift signal.
