Thermal protection for rear power window motors The rear door control units calculate the actuation duration, operating voltage, rpm of rear power window motor as well as outside and inside temperature at the rear power window motor bearings on to protect the rear power window motor.
After a certain threshold temperature is reached, the corresponding rear power window motor can only be actuated until the request is no longer present or the end position is reached.

During automatic raising the direction is reversed when the overload protection force limitation is actuated.

It is possible to reactuate the left/right rear power window motor after a cooling phase calculated by the left/right rear door control unit.
