1. In an electronic control circuit, a method of controlling an electromotor of an actuator for controlling a position of an actuatable object of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving an instruction to hold position of the actuatable object;
obtaining an initial hold voltage pattern for the electromotor;
applying the initial hold voltage pattern to the electromotor;
determining movement data on movement of the actuatable object;
determining an adjusted hold voltage pattern based on the movement data; and
applying the adjusted hold voltage pattern to the electromotor.
