Abstract:
1. A system for dynamically braking a vehicle closure of a vehicle, comprising: a drive mechanism mounted to the vehicle, the drive mechanism having electrical contacts to receive a drive signal to cause the drive mechanism to move the vehicle closure between an open and a closed position in response to the drive signal, the drive mechanism capable of generating a generated drive signal during at least a portion of the operation of the vehicle closure from the open to the close position; and a controller having electrical outputs electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the drive mechanism and electrical inputs to provide the drive signals to the drive mechanism and to receive generated drive signals from the drive mechanism, the controller further configured to provide the generated drive signals back to the drive mechanism during operation of the vehicle closure to provide dynamic braking of the vehicle closure from the open to the close position.
