Abstract
A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a base portion disposed at a door handle region of a vehicle door. A handle portion is movable relative to the base portion between a recessed position and a deployed position. An actuator includes a motor that is electrically operable to move the handle portion between the recessed position and the deployed position. The actuator includes a position indicating element that indicates at least one position of an output shaft of the motor. Responsive to an input signal, the actuator moves the handle portion between the recessed position and the deployed position. While the actuator moves the handle portion, the position indicating element indicates that the output shaft arrives at one of the at least one positions and the actuator depowers the motor.
