Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus and method for testing a temperature sensor in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a power device. The power device is configured to receive a power signal and to filter the power signal to generate a filtered power signal. The power device is further configured to compare the filtered power signal to a first threshold and to test the temperature sensor based on the comparison of the filtered power signal to the first threshold.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for testing a temperature sensor in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a power device including a filter and being configured to: receive a power signal; generate a filtered power signal by filtering the power signal with the filter; compare the filtered power signal to a first threshold prior to testing the temperature sensor; and initiate testing the temperature sensor in response to the filtered power signal being greater than the fi…
