P28F5Engine Disconnect Clutch Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

P28F5 indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an intermittent or erratic signal from the engine disconnect clutch pressure sensor circuit, meaning the voltage or pressure reading jumps around or drops out unpredictably rather than failing completely. This sensor monitors hydraulic pressure in the clutch that connects and disconnects the engine from the transmission in hybrid and automatic-stop-start systems, and the module cannot trust the signal to manage clutch engagement smoothly.
