The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, consisting of an interior sheet metal and an exterior sheeting, together which form a hollow interior space of the door, having an opening in the interior sheet metal and having a carrier module that closes said opening, and carries at least one functional part of the motor vehicle door, such as a hinge part, lock part or window lifter part. In order to simplify the assembly of a motor vehicle door it is proposed that the vehicle door () features, apart from the opening () in the interior sheet metal () which may be closed by means of a carrier module, an additional access opening () adequately large for inserting the carrier module, including the at least one functional part, into the interior space () of the door and that the carrier module consists of a base plate () which closes the opening () of the interior sheet metal () from the side of the hollow interior space () of the door.

Motor vehicle door

Hollow-interior vehicle door consisting of an internal in its entirety essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, and of at least one external outer panel element being essentially lid-shaped and supported by the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, such as a door skin, as well as of functional parts for practicing the door functions, and of optionally an inner panel element, in which the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure serves to accommodate functional parts of the vehicle door. The essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure is divided into two parts, in fact, into a first frame-shaped stiffening element () for supporting the outer panel element (outer panel) and into a second essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening element () for supporting functional parts of the vehicle door () and that the two stiffening elements (and) have, in the area of the outward-pointing, thus in Y-direction pointing, side walls of the door interior (A), elongated, preferably frame-shaped connecting surfaces (and') which define the access opening (B) to the door interior (A).

Vehicle door

A motor vehicle door includes structural parts for providing the rigidness of the vehicle door and includes a structural element and a lining element. The door further includes function components for providing vehicle door functions like a window panel with a regulator. At least one of the structural parts serves as a support of the function components. In order to reduce the number of individual components, at least one of the structural parts forms a completely shaped composite or sandwich part having a plastic based matrix and further having several of the function components included to serve a rigidness providing bodies. The bodies are molded into the plastic based matrix by the plastic based matrix.

Vehicle door including structural element support for a functional component

A method for monitoring a serial transmission of digital data signals on two parallel data lines between mutually communicating signal processing devices in which the data signals are transmitted on the two data lines with mutually inverse signal levels. In order to ensure the operability of the input components of the signal processing devices, the signal levels of the signals which are received from the two data lines are compared individually or combined with at least one reference level limit which defines a limit of the permissible common-mode signal range for the operability of the signal processing devices.
