Hybrid Control Unit System Service Tips (1) Circuit Description

The hybrid control unit (HCU) monitors and controls the engine and electric motor in hybrid vehicles. It optimally distributes power between the two sources based on driving conditions and controls the high voltage battery state of charge. The HCU determines the vehicle's driving mode (electric, hybrid, or engine-only) and executes functions like system on/off control, demand torque determination, regenerative braking control, engine starting and stopping, and engine clutch control to improve fuel efficiency.
