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.
