The midgate control module monitors 2 hall sensors located within the motor assembly to determine the window position and motor speed. The control module uses the window position data to set the soft stop locations and when controlling the operation of the latch release actuators and rear window defogger. Window motor speed is used during express operation and is a necessary input for the anti-pinch feature.
