Abstract: A control unit is configured to carry out a given controlling of an electric motor when a given operation is carried. The given operation is an operation wherein under operation of a closure mechanism, the door is moved in a close direction passing through an operative position of a half-latch switch and then moved back in an open direction at a position just before the half-latch position. The given controlling is so made that when the moving member takes a position other than a neutral position upon completion of the given operation, the electric motor is rotated in a reversed direction to move the moving member to the neutral position, and when the moving member takes the neutral position upon completion of the given operation, the electric motor is stopped to keep the moving member at the neutral position.

The release lever, the locking plate and the worm wheel are so arranged that when the worm wheel is turned in the given direction, the worm wheel pushes the release lever toward the locking plate.

Abstract: A powered vehicle door closing system for producing an auto-closing action to automatically move a latch member from a half-latched position to a fully-latched position comprises a reversible motor mechanically linked through a linkage to the latch member, for powering a final, low-displacement/high-force movement of a vehicle door, and a controller for controlling the motor. The controller includes a full-latch confirmation section for confirming that the latch member is maintained at its fully-latched position, and a motor-drive limiting section for limiting re-activation of the motor so as to avoid ineffective auto-closing action of the system when the full-latch confirmation section decides that the latch member has already been shifted to and maintained at the fully-latched position.

Abstract: A slide door driving system of a motor vehicle comprises an electric power source and a door driving device to move the slide door between a full-open position and a full-close latched position with an aid of electric power from the electric power source. A manual switch is mounted in the motor vehicle. A control circuit is used for controlling the door driving device in accordance with operation of the manual switch. A so-called "permission switch" is connected to the control circuit. The permission switch is turned ON when an ignition switch for an engine of the vehicle is turned ON. The control circuit is provided with a judging circuit which makes an operation of the manual switch operative only when the operation of the manual switch is carried out under a condition wherein the permission switch is kept ON.
