  • Method of initializing an in-car temperature sensor for a climate control system
    Patent number: 6116511
    Abstract: A method of initializing an in-car temperature sensor for a climate control system on a vehicle includes the steps of determining if a predetermined condition for initializing the in-car temperature sensor is satisfied and using an actual in-car temperature sensor output if the predetermined condition for initializing the in-car temperature sensor is not satisfied, and initializing the in-car temperature sensor output with an ignition-off in-car temperature sensor value if the predetermined condition for initializing the in-car temperature sensor is satisfied. The method also includes the steps of determining if a predetermined condition indicating not to use the initialized in-car temperature sensor output is satisfied and using an actual in-car temperature sensor output if the predetermined condition.
