The electric catch motor is a unit that locks the trunk lid in the correct position. The unit consists of a motor and a spring (a flexible metal cable) that transfers power to the various catches, which, in turn lock the trunk lid. The electric catch motor is directly connected to the Convertible Roof Module (CRM). The electric catch motor is located in the cargo compartment. The electric catch motor also has an integrated position sensor that senses the position of the motor.
