Circuit/System Description
The windshield temperature and inside moisture sensor includes the relative humidity sensor, windshield temperature sensor and humidity sensing
element temperature sensor.
This sensor assembly provides information about:
* Relative humidity level at windshield inside
* Temperature of the windshield inside
* Temperature of the humidity sensor element
The relative humidity sensor measures the relative humidity of the compartment side of the windshield. It also detects the temperature of the
windshield surface on the compartment side. Both values are used as control inputs for the HVAC control module application to calculate the fog
risk on windshield compartment side and ability to reduce fuel consumption by decreasing A/C compressor power to a minimum without causing
any fog. The sensor will also enable partial recirculation mode in order to improve heat-up performance of the passenger compartment under cold
ambient temperature conditions without the risk of mist build-up on the windshield. The humidity sensor element temperature sensor supplies the
temperature of the humidity sensor element. It is only needed if the thermal contact between the humidity sensing element and the inside windshield
surface is not sufficient.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* The HVAC control module is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B018A 02, B048C 02, B048C 02 or B1395 03
The HVAC control module detects the sensor signal out of range. The signal voltage is less than 0.1 V for more than 50 ms.
B018A 05, B048C 05, B048C 05 or B1395 07
The HVAC control module detects the sensor signal out of range. The signal voltage is greater than 4.9 V for more than 50 ms.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The system will use the last valid values as default.
* If no value is read at the time of fault, the HVAC control module uses 60% for humidity.
