Door Locks With Hall-Effect Sensors

Door Locks with Hall-Effect Sensors
The door locks each contain a Hall-effect sensor for detecting the door position. In addition, there are two Hall-effect sensors in the drivers door which monitor the position of the lock barrel.
The Hall-effect sensors signal to the general module 5 that one of the doors is being opened, for example. The general module 5 briefly lowers the window in the door concerned. The window has to be lowered in order that the door can be opened.
