Shift Control Operation
Shift Lever Position Sensor (Park/Neutral Position Sw) Is Provided In The Transaxle To Detect The Shift Position And Send A Corresponding Signal To The Hybrid Vehicle Control Ecu. Upon Receiving This Signal, The Hybrid Vehicle Control Ecu Optimally Combines The Operation Of The Engine, Motor Generator No.1 (Front), Motor Generator No.2 (Front) And Motor Generator (Rear), In Order To Produce The Respective Shift Positions ("R", "N", "D", And "B").
