Claim 18:
19. A system for moving a closure panel between an open position and a closed position relative to a motor vehicle body, the system comprising:
a latch comprising a master controller configured to issue a command signal to move the closure panel between the open position and the closed position; and
at least one electromechanical biasing member comprising:
an electric motor for moving the closure panel between the open position and the closed position; and
a slave controller housed within the at least one electromechanical biasing member, the slave controller in communication with the master controller and configured to receive the command signal and to generate an actuation signal based on the command signal for supply to the electric motor to move the closure panel:
wherein the at least one electromechanical biasing member further comprises:
a housing comprising an inner cavity, the housing for connecting to one of the closure panel and the motor vehicle body, wherein the electric motor and the slave controller are positioned within the inner cavity;
a rotary output member operatively coupled to a motor shaft of the electric motor, the rotary output member rotatable in response to a rotation of the motor shaft; and
an extension member for connecting to the other one of the closure panel and the motor vehicle body, the extension member configured to extend and retract relative to the housing in response to the rotation of the rotary output member to move the closure panel between the open position and the closed position.
