Window Motor Initialization: Notes

NOTE: Initialization is required to learn both the full UP and full DOWN positions of the glass as it travels through the glass channel. Once initialized, obstacle detection is enabled.
NOTE: The front window motor must be de-initialized, then initialized whenever:
  • the front window motor is removed from the window regulator drum housing.
  • a new window regulator is installed.
  • a new window glass is installed.
  • a new top run is installed.
  • grease or lubricants are applied to the window regulator or glass run.
NOTE: Install and tighten all window components to specification before carrying out the initialization procedure.
NOTE: A new (original factory setting) or de-initialized window motor will not operate in one-touch up mode until initialized. If a new front window motor has been installed, proceed to the initialization procedure.
NOTE: Excessive bounce-back (window reverses direction with no obstructions present) may indicate that a de-initialization procedure may need to be performed.
