A system and method for an aircraft includes a probe, first and second current sensors, and a control circuit. The probe includes a heater that includes a resistive heating element routed through the probe, wherein an operational current is provided to the resistive heating element to provide heating for the probe. The first current sensor is configured to sense a first current through the resistive heating element, and the second current sensor is configured to sense a second current through the resistive heating element. The control circuit is configured to determine a leakage current based on the first and second currents and determine a remaining useful life the probe based on the leakage current over time.
