Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide detection of contamination at one or more contacts of a sensor system. The sensor system includes a sensor assembly and an electronics assembly communicatively coupled together by one or more contacts. The sensor assembly passes a sensor signal to the electronics assembly for further processing. The electronics assembly includes a detection contact for detecting contamination on or near one or more contacts of the sensor assembly and/or the electronics assembly. A switch selectively couples the detection contact to a bias voltage during a measurement mode and to a reference voltage during a detection mode, the reference voltage being different from the bias voltage. A method of contamination detection includes switching the electronics assembly between the measurement mode and the detection mode, and monitoring for a change in the output signal received by the electronics assembly.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the taking the action includes at least one of: activating an alarm, generating an error code, transmitting the error code to an external device, logging an error, stopping collection of data from the sensor assembly, preventing the sensor data from being used in data processing, and/or taking the leakage current into account in data processing.
