Sensor cluster

The sensor cluster is linked to

the sensors on the unit board

and CAN interface. And they

are housed in one case and

mounted to the body.

The E-coupling unit is a control unit which

determines the magnetic force by

considering CAN signals (wheel speed,

engine torque, pedal opening, ABS/ESP

CAN signals, etc.) from other ECUs.

The TGS communicates with TCU

(Transmission Control Unit), ECU,

ESP HECU and instrument cluster

to let the driver select the desired

transmission gear and to maintain

the desired driving condition. Also,

the tip switch is installed on the

lever knob and the steering wheel

so that the driver select the gear

manually when the shift lever is in

For the vehicle with the ABS, a speed difference

between the wheels is not noticeable as all the

wheels are slipping during abrupt braking.

Therefore, the vehicle needs the speed information

from other sensors other than the wheel speed

sensor. The longitudinal acceleration sensor (G-

sensor) is used for this case. It controls the ABS by

using the signals from the sensor during abrupt

braking and acceleration.

The transmission control unit (TCU) is installed under

the driver seat, and controls the transmission. The

TCU is operated by the ignition power supply and

receives and processes the following information from

the inner sensors through CAN buses.
