German term or phrase: Dauerbestromung, Durchbrennen, Relaiskleber, stromlos
Um eine Dauerbestromung und damit ein Durchbrennen der Zentralverriegelungs-Motoren zu vermeiden, erkennt die Ansteuerelektronik Relaiskleber und schaltet alle Motoren umgehend stromlos.

English translation:sustained current, burnout, stuck relay, current cut-off
Explanation:
Hi Eli,
Dauerbestromung means that the current flows through the actuator motors (of the central locking system) all the time - the dictionaries offer constant current but that's not right (Konstantstrom means just that: no change in the amperage), If the current flows all the time the winding of the motor may just burn through. Relaiskleber means that the relay is stuck in one position (in this case it's ON) and in order to prevent that from happening the electronic control system cuts off the current to the motors.

burnout, continuous application of current; read below


Explanation:
In order to avoid the continuous application of curent (or power) and thus to avoid burning out the central latching motors (or servos) the start-up electronics detect sticking relays and immediately switches off all power to the motors.
