A power latch assembly for motor vehicle closure applications has a single motor operable to move a pawl from a ratchet holding position to a ratchet releasing position and place the power latch assembly in at least one of a lock state and a child lock state.

This opening/closing body control device for vehicles comprises a lock device and a control device. The control device comprises: a reversal control unit; a reversal stopping unit; a first error detection unit that detects a first state change error in a first neutral switch, when reverse rotation of a rotating member has been stopped on the basis of a change in the on/off state of a second neutral switch during reverse control after closing control; and a second error detection unit that detects a second state change error in the first neutral switch, when reverse rotation of the rotating member is stopped on the basis of a change in the on/off state of the second neutral switch during reverse control after release control.

The present disclosure relates to a closure latch for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a closure latch for a vehicle door equipped with a passive entry feature. To this end, the present disclosure relates to the use of a power child lock actuator to manage the double pull function of the closure latch.

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.

Coupler-actuator assembly for a powered latch system of a hatch lid of a storage compartment of a vehicle, the coupler-actuator assembly including: a housing adapted to be disposed partially or wholly within and coupled to the hatch lid of the storage compartment or the storage compartment itself; a motor disposed partially or wholly within and coupled to the housing; an actuation mechanism disposed within the housing and coupled to the motor; and one or more slider racks disposed partially or wholly within the housing and coupled to the actuation mechanism. The coupler-actuator assembly also includes one or more connecting rods coupled to the one or more slider racks. The coupler-actuator assembly further includes one or more latch assemblies coupled to the one or more connecting rods, wherein, when actuated, the one or more latch assemblies are adapted to release the hatch lid from/secure the hatch lid to the storage compartment.

An actuator for vehicles has a motor having an output gear, a gear member, a slide member, and an accommodation member. The gear member has a first gear part meshed with the output gear and a second gear part provided coaxial with the first gear part on a rotational plane identical to that of the first gear part and has a shape different from a shape of the first gear part. The slide member has an input gear meshed with the second gear part. The accommodation member accommodates the motor and the gear member and accommodates a part of the slide member where the input gear is provided so that the slide member is driven by the motor to be linearly moved.
