Vehicle control system, has control module receiving signal waveform generated by sensor module based on position values indicating position of throttle plate, and decoding waveform to determine position values

摘要

The system has two position sensors (42,44) detecting a position of a throttle plate and generating position values indicating the position of the plate. A sensor module (40) generates a single signal waveform based on the values generated by the sensors. The sensor module transmits the waveform to a control module (14) through a conductor, and the control module decodes the waveform to determine the position values. An independent claim is also included for a method for transmitting dual position values on a single signal waveform.
