1. A method for controlling a brake motor, the method comprising:

  • receiving brake motor information;

    determining a first brake motor voltage value and a brake motor current value based on the motor information when the brake motor is active;

    determining a brake motor resistance value based on the first brake motor voltage value and the brake motor current value;

    determining a brake motor temperature value based on the determined brake motor resistance value;

    producing a brake motor control signal based on the determined brake motor temperature value;

    determining a second brake motor voltage value when the brake motor is inactive; and

    producing a motor diagnostic voltage value based on the determined second brake motor voltage value.
