Patent ID: 7646158

Claim:
A control device for an opening/closing body of a vehicle, the device opening and closing the opening/closing body using a drive source, the control device comprising: a vehicle speed detector detecting a speed of the vehicle; a pinching detector detecting pinching of an obstacle during an opening and closing operation of the opening/closing body; and a controller controlling a driving force transmitted to the opening/closing body from the drive source, wherein, when the vehicle is in a vehicle braking state, in which a shift lever of a transmission of the vehicle is in a parking position or a brake device of the vehicle is operating, and the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detector is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the controller allows the opening and closing operation of the opening/closing body to be started, and wherein, when pinching of an obstacle is detected by the pinching detector, the controller stops the operation of the opening/closing body or actuates the opening/closing body in a reverse direction, and wherein the controller decreases a pinching detecting sensitivity of the pinching detector when the vehicle braking state is cancelled during the operation of the opening/closing body.
