Thermal protection for left front power window:

The left door control unit calculates the actuation duration, operating voltage, RPM of the left front power window motor as well as the outside and inside temperature at the bearing points on the left front power window motor to protect the left front power window motor. After reaching a certain threshold temperature, the left 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 front power window motor after a cooling phase calculated by the left front door control unit.
