Abstract
A contamination detector device may compute a cross-sensitivity of a pressure sensor based on an amount of pressure change sensed by the pressure sensor and an amount of acceleration change sensed by an acceleration sensor. The cross-sensitivity of the pressure sensor indicates a measure of sensitivity of the pressure sensor to acceleration. The contamination detector device may determine, based on the cross-sensitivity of the pressure sensor, whether the pressure sensor is contaminated. The contamination detector device may selectively perform a contamination action based on whether the pressure sensor is contaminated.
