Abstract

An HVAC system includes a suction-side sensor, a liquid-side sensor, an outdoor temperature sensor, and a controller. The controller determines that initial criteria are satisfied for initiating validation of the suction-side sensor and the liquid-side sensor. After determining that the initial criteria are satisfied, a suction-side property value, liquid-side property value, and outdoor temperature value are received. The controller determines whether a first validation criteria and a second validation criteria are satisfied. If both the first validation criteria and the second validation criteria are satisfied, the suction-side sensor, the liquid-side sensor, and the outdoor temperature sensor are determined to be functioning properly. Otherwise, the controller determines which one or more of the sensors are malfunctioning.
