Abstract: A powered tailgate opening system having object collision protection is disclosed for reducing the risk of collision with an object during opening of the tailgate. The opening system has an object distance sensor to sense a distance to an object during movement of the tailgate and an opening angle sensor for sensing an angle of opening of the tailgate. A memory stores limit distance values which vary according to different angles of opening of the tailgate and a controller controls a tailgate movement drive mechanism according to a determination of whether a sensed distance at a sensed angle of opening is less than the stored limit distance value for that sensed angle of opening.

Abstract: A method for checking program execution of a microcontroller relating to a peripheral device in data communication with a microcontroller via a communication bus includes monitoring the microcontroller by an external device, identifying a failure status of the microcontroller by the external device based on the monitoring, disconnecting data communication between the peripheral device and the microcontroller by the external device, establishing a supplementary data communication between the external device and the peripheral device, and sending configuration information to the peripheral device by the external device via the supplementary data communication.

Abstract: A microcontroller is provided with a plurality of slave drive units for driving peripheral devices. Individual speed units are provided that have serial shift registers, multiplexors, and duplex data communication connections with individual serial registers of respective slave drive units of a series chain. In a first cycle or mode, a serial data connection between the serial shift registers of the speed units causes data to be serially communicated, at a first relatively faster pulse rate, from the microcontroller into the data input of the series chain and to the microcontroller from the data output of the series chain. In a second cycle or mode, for each pair of single speed unit and slave drive unit, the duplex data communication between the serial shift registers of the pair causes, at a second relatively slower pulse rate, data to be serially communicated in parallel therebetween.

Abstract: Vehicle ground connection diagnostic apparatus including voltage sensors for sensing the voltage on each of a plurality of ground connector lines, each providing a conduction path from an electronic control unit to ground. A plurality of switches is associated with a respective ground connector line and are controllable for switching between a connected state and a disconnected state. A controller controls the plurality of switches and identifies a ground connection fault based on identifying a change in sensed voltage characteristics on one of the ground connection lines between condition (a) when the switches are in a connected state and condition (b) when the switch for the one ground connection line is in the connected state and the or all switches for the or all other ground connection lines are in a disconnected state.

Abstract: In aspects, a vehicle charging diagnostic apparatus includes a voltage sensor for determining a voltage on a control pilot line and a diagnostic controller for identifying a first fault in response to detecting a negative voltage at or below a threshold. The vehicle charging diagnostic apparatus can further include a current sensor for sensing the current on the proximity pilot line. The diagnostic controller can then identify a further fault in response to detecting fluctuations in the current using the current sensor.
