There are ways, just probably not ways that are as simple as you'd like/as simple as they should be.
If you have an input that changes once for each DS packet period you should be able to write code that will properly detect a missing PSoC.
This doesn't change the fact that there should be some type of easy to check flag set by the Driver's Station when the PSoC is not prsent, I am merely pointing out that it would be possible to do the detection yourself.
