The engine has nothing to do with the plane measuring altitude or speed for the plane. And on the other hand, the plane does not pass this information to the engines either.
The only information the engines transmit is basic operational information about whether they are running and some vital stats - nothing about the plane itself.
You are right that the engine does communicate with the plane, but it has nothing to do with altitude and speed.
