Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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 (10.) Multiple mounting arrangements are provided which increase the mounting area to provide for the mounting of the mechatronics control module (14) within the transmission case (12.

Abstract: A control unit (14) for mounting within a vehicle transmission (12) includes a valve body (28) with defining a plurality of fluid passages (42) and a substantially planer surface (44). A flex foil (34) and an electronic control unit (16) attach to the planer surface (44). The flex foil (34) includes a plurality of contact pads (86) that provide for the electrical communication between the electronic control unit (16) and a plurality of electrical components (24, 30) mounted to the valve body (28). The valve body includes a plurality of openings to communicate fluid to the electrical components (24, 30) for control of hydraulic fluid within the fluid passages (42). (FIG. 2).
