Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for triggering a humidity measurement based on changes in ambient conditions. In one example, a method may include, in response to a higher than threshold change in ambient air temperature or pressure, operating an oxygen sensor to update an ambient humidity estimate. Engine operation parameters may be adjusted based on the updated ambient humidity estimate.
