Abstract
A method for controlling a cold start of a fuel cell vehicle includes detecting and storing temperatures at an inlet and an exit of fuel cell cooling water a plurality of times after turning-off of the fuel cell vehicle. A start sequence is controlled based on the lowest temperature of the stored temperatures and temperatures at the inlet and exit of the cooling water at a restart of the vehicle. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance start-up stability and driving stability by controlling a cold start sequence according to an internal state of the fuel cell stack.
