Abstract

An electronic control device for use in a motor vehicle including an electronic housing, a capacitor sensor, and a control unit. The capacitor sensor may be provided with a capacitor sensor electrode arranged inside the electronic housing. The control unit may be configured to output a trigger signal in response to receiving a measured capacitance value deviating from a threshold value, from the capacitor sensor electrode, indicative of a conductive liquid in the electronic housing.
