Moonroof motor assembly

Moonroof motor assembly : description

• Bcm supplies power.
• Cpu is integrated in moonroof motor assembly.
• Tilts up/down & slides open/close by moonroof switch operation.
• In order to close moonroof lid certainly with the signal from combination meter at the time of high speed run, the moonroof motor torque at the time of tilt-down operation is controlled.
