We had a similar issue last year with our lifter mechanism. It was strictly a mechanical issue. The motors were really on the ragged edge of being able to run the lifter smoothly over the entire range of motion. To help the drivers avoid burning out the motor, we added to our dashboard a current graph. We polled the Jaguars for the current, and had a nice chart. If we saw it going into the red zone (> 40 amps) for any extended period, the driver could dial back on the motor. This detected stalls and binds in the lifter, and had nothing to do with the Jaguars or CAN bus other than to give us the ability to peer into them and see what was happening.
