Abstract
Disclosed is an activation module for a function in a motor vehicle accommodated in a component, the module including a detection and communication device including at least one communication antenna transmitting at a high frequency and a device for detecting a deformation of the component, the communication antenna being connected to a printed circuit board including a unit for measuring voltage variation across the terminals of the communication antenna, a unit for interpreting the measuring unit and transmission and reception unit with an electronic control unit having a unit for activating the function. The communication antenna is movable relative to the printed circuit board under the action of the deformation of the component, the measuring unit then detecting a voltage variation across the terminals of the communication antenna.
