Trunk Lid Angle Sensor




Trunk Lid Angle Sensor




To detect the position, opening angle and speed of the trunk lid, an angle Hall sensor similar to those used on the E46 convertible is used. A voltage value is output depending on the opening angle of the trunk lid.

The angle sensor is attached to the right side trunk hinge.

The lid opening angle is divided into 9 segments

These segments are used to determine the required system pressure to maintain a steady opening/closing speed.
