Motor vehicle door lock with a lock unit and a control unit which are separated from one another
First Claim
1. Motor vehicle door lock, comprising:
- a lock unit containing mechanical lock elements including a lock latch and a detent pawl, and a lock mechanism with a plurality of interacting elements in a control unit which is separated from the lock unit, wherein the lock unit is arranged spatially separated from the control unit at a motor vehicle door or hatch, wherein the lock unit is connected to the control unit by means of a remote power transmission means, and wherein the detent pawl in the lock unit is mechanically actuated from an element of the lock mechanism in the control unit by means of a drawing of the remote power transmission means in a first direction, wherein the remote power transmission means, at least between an advanced position of the lock latch slightly before a closed position of the lock latch and the closed position of the lock latch, is also connected to the lock latch, wherein the lock latch by moving from the advanced position into the closed position is drawing the remote power transmission means in a second direction that is opposite said first direction, wherein the remote power transmission means mechanically signals the control unit when the lock latch reaches the closed position, and wherein the control unit comprises means for sensing motion of the remote power transmission means in said second direction.
