There is provided a method and system for communicating a signal output from a wireless sensor to a processor on a mobile platform upon interruption of wireless communications with the processor. The wireless sensor is signally connected to a local processor operative to wirelessly communicate with the processor. A second sensor is signally connected to first and second inputs of the processor via an electrical cable. The local processor is operative to selectively interrupt signal transmission from the second sensor to the processor effective to identify the wireless sensor and effective to communicate the wireless sensor signal via the second input of the processor.
