Protecting The Overheated Motor

In order to protect the overheated sunroof motor by continuous motor operation, the sunroof ECU controls the Run-time and Cool-time of motor as followings;

1.

The Sunroof ECU detects the Run- time of motor
2.

Motor can be operated continuously for the 1st Run-time.
3.

Motor which is operated continuously stops operating after the 1st Run-time.
4.

And then Motor is not operated for the 1st Cool-time.
5.

Motor is operated for the 2nd Run-time at the continued motor operation after 1st Cool-time.

7.

Motor is not operated for the 2nd Cool-time.
8.

Motor repeats the 2nd Run-time and 2nd Cool-time at the continued motor operation.

–

In case that motor is not operated continuously, the Run-time which is limited for protecting the overheated motor is increased.
–

The Run-Time of motor is initialized to "0" if the battery or fuse is reconnected after being disconnected, discharged or blown.
