1. A control system comprising:
a controller for a vehicle system having one or more processors configured to:
obtain at least one first operating parameter related to an operating system of the vehicle system;
compare the at least one first operating parameter to an expected first operating parameter;
determine an operating condition of the operating system based at least in part on the first operating parameter;
communicate with an off-board sensor to detect at least one auxiliary operating parameter related to the operating condition of the operating system in response to the at least one first operating parameter exceeding a determined threshold value related to the expected first operating parameter;
verify the operating condition of the operating system by comparing the at least one first operating parameter with the at least one auxiliary operating parameter,
wherein the controller is configured to control movement of the vehicle system responsive to verifying the operating condition of the operating system by changing one or more of a propulsion setting or a brake setting of the vehicle system.
