Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a motorized flap arrangement of a motor vehicle, wherein the flap arrangement comprises a flap which may be deflected, in particular a pivotable flap, a drive arrangement associated with the flap and a control arrangement associated with the drive arrangement, wherein the deflection of the flap is limited in at least one first direction of movement, in particular in the opening direction, by a mechanical end stop on the motor vehicle side, wherein the motorized flap movement in the first direction of movement is limited by means of the control arrangement by an end stop provided by control technology, in order to prevent the flap from running in a motorized manner in the first direction of movement into the mechanical end stop, wherein for calibrating the end stop provided by control technology, the flap arrangement is moved by motor, by means of the control arrangement, in a blocking movement into the mechanical end stop and subsequently released, and moved by motor in at least one subsequent blocking movement into the mechanical end stop and subsequently released and in that the deflection of the flap, present after the last release of tension, is detected by means of the control arrangement as a basis for determining the position of the end stop provided by control technology.
