Jam Protection Function Activates During Power Back Door Operation [11/2023 - ]: Description

The power back door is controlled by the multiplex network door ECU and the back door motor is driven. During motor operation, the power back door (touch sensor) used for jam protection checks for obstruction by foreign objects, etc. by detecting changes in resistance due to contact.

Furthermore, the speed of the back door is monitored using the pulse sensor (power back door unit assembly) and if a change in speed is detected, it is judged that there is an obstruction by a foreign object and the door direction is reversed.
