First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control system for an engine, the control system comprising:
- a control module; and
a resistor connected in series between the control module and a non-contact position sensor,wherein the control module selectively detects a fault of the non-contact position sensor based on a voltage drop across the resistor.

Abstract
A control system for an engine includes a control module and a resistor. The resistor is connected in series between the control module and a non-contact position sensor. The control module selectively detects a fault of the non-contact position sensor based on a voltage drop across the resistor. A method for controlling an engine includes providing a resistor connected in series between a control module and a non-contact position sensor, and selectively detecting a fault of the non-contact position sensor based on a voltage drop across the resistor.
