Abstract
Methods and systems for sensing a fluid level associated with an engine are described. The method comprises generating an input signal and applying the input signal to a resistive portion and a capacitive portion of a fluid level sensing device, measuring a first varying output of the resistive portion of the fluid level sensing device through a first channel of a controller of the engine, measuring a second varying output of the capacitive portion of the fluid level sensing device through a second channel of the controller of the engine, and translating at least one of the first varying output and the second varying output into a level of fluid and outputting the level of fluid.
