IMHO of course....

1. The anti skid units/BSCU's or whatever name should test for cross coupled connectors by watching for appropriate wheel rotation when a sharp turn is negotiated with a 'do not takeoff' type prompt if it fails.
2. In the event that section 1 fails, have a back up mode to prevent tyre burst. (Thinks Hard braking one side with wheel rotation and no brake application on the other side with no wheel rotation...Something wrong. Lets do an e-swap of the sensors and see if it cures matters - May flat spot the tyre, but hopefully won't lead to loss of control). (I can imagine doing this for 320 style, but imagine writing the code for a 747! Nightmare!)

Ho hum, evening folks...
