CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0]
id0140g8779000
Purpose
• Detects the clutch pedal depression amount as basic information for stop/restart control according to the i-stop control.
Function
• Detects the clutch pedal depression amount and sends it to the PCM as a clutch pedal depression amount signal.
Clutch stroke sensor characteristics
Construction
• The clutch stroke sensor is located on the clutch master cylinder.
• The PCM energizes the coil installed in the sensor to create a magnetic field. Depressing the clutch pedal moves the permanent magnet next to the coil. The PCM detects the amount in which the clutch pedal is depressed by measuring the change in magnetic flux occurring when the permanent magnetic moves.
• A Hall element has been adopted for the detection area of the clutch stroke sensor.
• The Hall element detects the change in magnetic flux occurring based on the movement of the permanent magnet (located on the rod in conjunction with clutch pedal released/depressed) and outputs it as voltage.
Operation
1. The clutch stroke sensor detects (1) the clutch pedal depression amount.
2. The clutch stroke sensor sends (2) the detected clutch pedal depression amount to the PCM as a clutch pedal depression amount signal.
Fail-safe
DTC No.
