Abstract
A motor vehicle door lock with an electromechanical central locking system drive (1) and a mechanical central locking system element (2) driven by it, the central locking system drive (1) having an electric drive motor (3) and a motor control (5) with a motor state sensor (6). The central locking system element (2) can be moved by the central locking system drive (1) at least into a locked position and the motor control (5) is designed such that it triggers the electric drive motor (3) for driving the central locking system element (2) into the locked position after receiving an actuation signal from an actuation unit, such as a closing cylinder, a locking button, a remote control receiving unit or a handle (inside door handle, outside door handle). Preferably, the motor control 5 is also designed such that it automatically triggers the electric drive motor (3) for driving the central locking system element (2) into the locked position as soon as a certain operating state of the motor vehicle has been reached. Furthermore, significantly, the motor control (5) has a control circuit that includes the motor state sensor (6) and this control circuit is designed such that, when the elec…
