Abstract

See full text

A method of mounting a mechatronics control module (14) includes an electronic control unit (16) having a flex foil circuit (34) with a multiple of mounted electronic components including sensors (24) which sense the hydraulic state of the transmission clutch or other frictional engagement elements within the transmission system. The sensor is mounted to a base plate (82) which is mounted to a fixture (88) which folds the flap (84.) When the base plate (82) and mounted sensor are removed from the fixture (88), the flap (84) unfolds so that the circuit traces of the flex foil (34) are adjacent the contacts (94.) In a final step, the circuit traces (81) are electrically connected to the contacts (94.)
