Rear spoiler

Background

Rear spoiler motor and control module

The rear spoiler doesn’t survive our Ute transformation, but its demise has a few implications that must be addressed.

The spoiler moves via an electric step motor controlled with a separate, but integrated, electronic module.

Spoiler operation uses different logic circuits that require speed data input:

1. if speed under 12mph → can raise manually, dash indicator blinks
2. if speed exceeds 12mph → automatically lowered if raised before
3. between 12-43mph → can raise/lower manually in single step
4. if speed under 10mph → automatically lowered if raised before
5. if speed exceeds 45mph → automatically raised, manual switch disabled
6. if speed exceeds 85mph → sunroof automatically closed
7. if speed 0mph → can raise/lower manually in steps
