Abstract

A sensor and a control circuit are provided externally of a gear cover. A shift controller is operated by an electric actuator and a motor driven control module similar thereto. A rotating position detection sensor is thereby provided for a switching device without combination of a circuit and a sensor by oil or metal powder of a gear mechanism portion. The circuit includes a signal processing circuit that approximates an MR element output signal relative to the rotational angle of a body in which a magnet is mounted with a multi-function expressed as a three-dimensional formula.
