Abstract: A power-operated vehicle closure system includes a vehicle door equipped with a cinch assembly having a power actuator and a closure latch assembly having a latch mechanism and a latch cinch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a first direction provides a power cinch operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to cinch the latch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a second direction provides a power ice breaking operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to open the latch mechanism. The system includes a controller that receives signals indicating the positions of a ratchet and a pawl of the latch mechanism and controls the power actuator to operate the latch cinch mechanism in either the first or second direction.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for a vehicle door has a ratchet moveable between a primary striker capture position, a secondary striker capture position, and a striker release position, and a cinch mechanism moveable, while in an engaged state, from a home position, while the ratchet is in the secondary striker capture position, to a cinch position, whereat the ratchet is engaged by the cinch mechanism and moved to the primary striker capture position. A manual release mechanism operable to move the cinch mechanism from the engaged state to a disengaged state, whereat the cinch mechanism is disengaged from the ratchet such that the ratchet is free to move independently from the cinch mechanism.

Abstract: A vehicle latch is provided having a ratchet, a primary pawl, an auxiliary ratchet and a secondary pawl, and further including a gear that is movable to a secondary pawl locking position wherein the gear directly blocks movement of the secondary pawl and locks the secondary pawl in an auxiliary ratchet holding position to prevent premature or unintended opening of the latch.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly having a latch mechanism is provided. The latch mechanism includes a ratchet and a pawl assembly pivotally supported for movement between a ratchet holding position whereat the pawl assembly is positioned to hold the ratchet in its striker capture position and a ratchet releasing position whereat the pawl assembly is located to permit movement of the ratchet to its striker release position. The pawl assembly has a carrier and a pawl configured for rotation relative to one another about a pawl pin and a roller carried by the carrier. The roller is disposed between the pawl and the ratchet for selective rolling movement therebetween. The roller is disposed into abutment with a closing surface of the ratchet while the pawl assembly is in the ratchet holding position and is spaced from closing surface while the pawl assembly is in the ratchet releasing position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a closure latch assembly for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a closure latch assembly for a vehicle door equipped with a non-powered reset feature. A power actuator actuates an actuatable mechanism in a power-on state, and a reset mechanism to reset the actuatable mechanism when the power actuator is in a power-off state. The reset mechanism is directly coupled to a motor shaft of an electric motor associated with the power actuator. The reset mechanism includes a pulley biased to a rest position by a spring, and a drive cable wrapped around the pulley and the motor shaft. Actuation of the motor winds the cable around the motor shaft and rotates the pulley against its bias. In the power-off state, the pulley rotates back to the rest position and unwinds the cable from the motor shaft, rotating the shaft and resetting the motor.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for a vehicle door includes a latch mechanism and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a lock link pivotable between unlock and lock positions, and dual cam arrangement which functions in coordination with rotation of a power lock gear to establish a first locked state where a first cam holds the lock link its lock position and a second locked state where a second cam holds the lock link in its lock position. An unlocked state is established when neither of the first and second cams engage the lock link in its unlock position.
