Identifying improperly installed equipment in the heating and cooling system of a vehicle

A method for identifying mismatched sensors in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• activating one or more of a heating system and a cooling system disposed in the vehicle;
• obtaining a series of readings from each of a plurality of sensors disposed in the vehicle;
• inputting the series of readings from each of the plurality of sensors and an operational status of the one or more of the heating system and the cooling system into a trained machine learning model;
• receiving an indication from the trained machine learning model an identification that two or more sensors from the plurality of sensors that are mismatched;
• and
• updating a mapping of the two or more sensors in a software of the vehicle.

A method for identifying an improperly installed check valve in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• activating one or more of a heating system and a cooling system disposed in the vehicle;
• obtaining a series of readings from one or more sensors disposed in the vehicle;
• identifying, for each of the one or more of sensors, a delta value from the series of readings;
• comparing, for each of the one or more of sensors, the delta value to an expected delta value;
• identifying a check valve disposed in the vehicle that has been improperly installed based on differences between the delta values and the expected delta values;
• and
• generating an alert that identifies the check valve.
