Abstract: A latch assembly for a closure panel includes a housing member and a ratchet configured for movement relative to the housing member between a striker capture and striker release positions. A pawl is configured for movement relative to the housing member between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl maintains the ratchet in the striker capture position, and a ratchet releasing position, whereat the pawl releases the ratchet for movement of the ratchet to the striker release position. A pawl sensor assembly includes a first sensor member fixed relative to the housing member and a second sensor member movable from a first position to a second position. The first position indicates the pawl in the ratchet holding position, and the second position indicates the pawl in the ratchet releasing position. The second member is moveable relative to the pawl and the housing member.
