Clutch Pressure Sensor (Hybrid): Description and Operation

Description

The engine clutch is installed inside the hybrid drive motor assembly and operated by hydraulic pressure. It mechanically connects or disconnects the engine drive power to the transaxle and its oil pressure is sensed by the Clutch Pressure Sensor (CPS). The HCU can recognize the vehicle driving mode (EV Mode, HEV Mode) by using this signal. This sensor is located beside the electric oil pump in the transaxle housing.
