Re: Denso Window Motors, Warning - Don't use with Jaguars !

Just as a suggestion, if you are using CAN (and thus Jaguars) then the fault timeout can be reduced to 0.5 seconds.

Obviously, if your mechanism is pulling so much current that this happens fairly often a redesign could be a good idea (as reducing the timeout leaves the jaguar with less time to cool its FETs).
