Abstract: The invention concerns a control system for a d.c. motor (10), powered by an actuating system (14) comprising: a position detector (30, 32) co-operating with the motor's rotor; a power supply circuit (34) to apply to the terminals of the motor coils a supply voltage to generate the electric current, and a control circuit (36). This system is designed to actuate the motor to move a moving part (24), with a view to reaching a target position Pc defined by a number of steps dc to be executed. During a so-called positioning phase, the control circuit (36), after observing that target position Pc has been reached, interrupts the current powering the coils and applies to them a braking pulse (If) of reverse polarity, then short-circuits them until stoppage observed by the detector (30, 32).
