Systems and methods for switch control of motor vehicle latch

ActiveUS12601207B2Automatic securing/unlockingElectrical locking circuitsControl engineeringControl theory
A device may include detecting, by at least one latch status sensor, the latch being in a partially closed state and commanding, by a controller, the latch to change from the partially closed state to a fully closed state. The device may receive, from a switch disposed in the vehicle storage compartment, a command to change the latch to either an open state or the partially closed state to at least partially open the closure. Moreover, the device may include executing, by the latch, a cinching cycle to verify that the latch is in the fully closed state and the closure is in a fully closed position. Also, the device may include executing, in response to executing the cinching cycle, a release cycle transitioning the latch from the fully closed state to the partially closed state to move the closure from the fully closed position to a partially closed position.
