1. A moving part control system for a vehicle configured to cause a movement of a mechanical part for loosening the mechanical part from a stuck state to a loose state, the moving part control system comprises:
an electrically controlled actuator device that is physically coupled to the mechanical part and that produces an oscillating movement that vibrates the mechanical part;
a processing circuitry operatively connected to the electrically controlled actuator device and that:
determines at least one of an amplitude or a frequency of the oscillating movement; and
determines, from the determined at least one of the amplitude or the frequency, that the mechanical part is in a stuck state or a loose state.
