Abstract
A control system for regulating operation of a first vehicle system includes first and second sensors that respectively monitor first and second operating parameters of a plurality of operating parameters, and a module that receives signals generated by the first and second sensors. The module accesses a look-up table that is normally provided to determine a first one of the plurality of operating parameters based on a second one of the plurality of operating parameters and an actual value of an input parameter. The module determines a virtual value of the input parameter while the actual value of the input parameter is equal to zero. At least one of the first and second vehicle systems is normally regulated based on the input parameter. The module regulates operation of the first vehicle system based on the virtual value of the input parameter.
