Abstract
A system and method of controlling operation of a vehicle door assembly for a vehicle includes monitoring a door handle sensor to detect at least one open request generated by the door handle. A first control signal is transmitted by a controller to a door unlatching actuation mechanism in response to a first open request. The door unlatching actuation mechanism is actuated for a first time period Tin response to the first control signal. A door position sensor is monitored by the controller and determines the position of the door at completion of the first time period T. The controller transmits a second control signal to actuate the door unlatching actuation mechanism for a second time period Tin response to a second open request when the door position sensor detects the door in the closed position at the completion of the first time period T
