Opening/closing body control device

An opening/closing body control device comprising:

• a controller that controls a driving operation of a motor for carrying out an operation for opening/closing an opening/closing body of a vehicle;
• a load detector that detects a load of the motor;
• a deciding part that compares a variation in the load detected by the load detector with a predetermined threshold, thereby deciding presence of insertion of a foreign substance into the opening/closing body during the operation for closing the opening/closing body;
• an engine state detector that detects a stopping state of an engine of the vehicle;
• a receiver that receives a closing command for the opening/closing body which is transmitted from a remote control machine;
• and
• a changing part that changes the threshold,
• wherein, when the stopping state of the engine is detected by the engine state detector and the closing command is received by the receiver:
• the changing part changes the threshold from a normal value to a sensitive value for detecting the insertion more sensitivity than the normal value,
• the controller controls the motor to carry out the operation for closing the opening/closing body,
• the controller controls the motor and stops the opening/closing body or carries out the opening operation after the stoppage if the deciding part decides that the insertion is present during the operation for closing the opening/closing body, and
• the controller automatically controls the motor to carry out the operation for closing the opening/closing body if a predetermined time then passes.
