Abstract

A method for preventing engine clutch hazard of a hybrid vehicle includes: transmitting, by a safety module of a controller, a signal which instructs an engine clutch to be engaged or released to a safety module of an actuator that drives the engine clutch that connects an engine with a motor or disconnects the engine from the motor; and controlling, by the safety module of the actuator, the engine clutch to perform a normal operation based on the signal.
