Abstract
An electronic control device for controlling electric units of motor vehicle doors which have different equipment. The control device is formed by at least one printed circuit board, including electronic components which are arranged in a housing and can be contacted to a cable assembly using plug-in connectors. The device includes at least one zone of the printed circuit board with an identical assembly of components that can be used for at least two variants of the motor-vehicle-door equipment, the printed circuit board having a reduced component assembly for at least one of the equipment variants. The printed circuit board of one equipment variant is spatially integrated into a housing of a unit which is to be controlled, while the printed circuit board of another equipment variant is located in a separate housing.
