Summary:A release control sensor module for an openable member of a vehicle, such as a vehicle window, includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is a displacement sensor that controls the closure of an electric circuit, such as a changeover switch or a reed switch. The second sensor is powered by the electric circuit. The first sensor controls the activation of the electronic circuit. If the first sensor is not actuated, the sensor module is electrically isolated and does not consume any power. If the first sensor is actuated, the second sensor is powered and can be used to detect movement of a moving part of the control, such as a pull handle or an opening lever.
