A vehicle stability control system diagnostic strategy, wherein the diagnostic strategy may be adaptively applied based upon the identified maneuver states of the vehicle. The diagnostic architecture contains three vehicle state observers (i.e., models) each based on inputs from only two of the three sensors (yaw rate, lateral acceleration and hand wheel angle). More particularly, the first observer does not consider lateral acceleration input. The second observer does not consider yaw rate sensor input and the third does not consider hand wheel angle (HWA) sensor input in determining the vehicle state. However, estimated vehicle speed input is used by all the observers. For example, the first observer detects a maneuver state based on yaw rate and HWA and vehicle speed inputs. Then it diagnoses the lateral acceleration sensor failure based on the observer output. The diagnostics are based on vehicle dynamics correlations that hold in steady state linear range conditions. Similarly, the other two observers detect maneuver state and diagnose the respective signals. Advantageous variants include the use of a proactive sensor diagnostics strategy that provides increased coverage during steady state linear range maneuvers while simultaneously detecting faults within the required fault response time.
