Abstract
A control system of an open/close part for a vehicle includes an open/close part which can open or close, installed at an opening of a vehicle, a driving device supplying power for operating the open/close part, a load detection unit detecting a load of operation applied to the driving device, and a controller controlling the driving device through detecting a position of the open/close part, wherein, while the open/close part is being operated, the controller performs detection on a foreign object being trapped by determining whether the operation load applied to the driving device detected by the load detection unit is larger than a pre-determined threshold, and wherein, if the controller determines that a pre-determined condition based on a pre-determined manipulation is satisfied, the controller performs detection on a foreign object being trapped using a second threshold which is smaller than the pre-determined threshold.
