ABSTRACT:
A torque sensor system and method. An automotive engine is located opposite a torque converter, such that a shaft extends from the engine and interacts with the torque converter. A target is located between the engine and torque converter. One or more torque sensors can be integrated with one or more position sensors for detecting a position associated with the shaft, wherein the torque sensor(s) and the position sensor(s) are integrated into a single torque sensor package to thereby provide enhanced sensing of the target in association with a rotation of shaft during an actuation of the engine.
