A method for producing a control output from a clutch position sensing system of a motor vehicle

A method and system of producing a control output from a clutch position sensing system comprises monitoring, via signals from a sensor 26, a position of a clutch pedal 25. An electronic clutch pedal position processor 16C processes the signal from the senor 26 and defines several operating zones in...

Zusammenfassung:	A method and system of producing a control output from a clutch position sensing system comprises monitoring, via signals from a sensor 26, a position of a clutch pedal 25. An electronic clutch pedal position processor 16C processes the signal from the senor 26 and defines several operating zones including a transition zone between a clutch pedal 25 release state and a clutch pedal 25 pressed state. The clutch pedal position processor 16C is operable to set a moveable or tracking or trailing offset (Th1, fig 6) from a clutch pedal starting position that if crossed when the clutch pedal 25 is within the transition zone will result in clutch pedal 25 state changing from one to the other state, e.g. from released to pressed or vice versa. An engine (10, fig 1) is controlled by an electronic control unit 16 which receives signals from, for example, a gear selector sensor (12) and the clutch pedal position processor 16C and controls the engine (10) in stop-start running mode.
