1. A method for operating a system that includes an array of sensors, comprising:
deactivating diagnostics of the array of sensors in response to a sensor output changing by more than a threshold amount between execution cycles of a sensor monitoring algorithm; and
activating diagnostics of the array of sensors in response to the sensor output changing by more than the threshold amount between execution cycles of the sensor monitoring algorithm after the diagnostics of the array of sensors have been deactivated.
