Claim 18:
19. A method, comprising:
measuring a first resistance of a first resistor associated with a first position sensor;
based upon the measured first resistance, selecting a first delta curve, the first delta curve describing differences between a nominal fuel valve position and a first measured fuel valve position associated with the first position sensor;
measuring a second resistance of a second resistor associated with a second position sensor;
based upon the measured second resistance, selecting a second delta curve, the second delta curve describing differences between the nominal fuel valve position and a second measured fuel valve position associated with the second position sensor;
receiving a first fuel valve position (FVP) from the first position sensor, and applying the first FVP to the first delta curve to obtain a first compensated FVP;
receiving a second FVP from the second position sensor, and applying the second FVP to the second delta curve to obtain a second compensated FVP;
correlating the first compensated FVP and the second compensated FVP to obtain a final compensated FVP;
applying the final compensated FVP to a desired fuel valve position to obtain a final fuel valve position and applying the final fuel valve position to a fuel valve to control an operation of the fuel valve.
