67 62... Notes on initializing power windows

NOTE: Initialization  is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Initialization  comprises:
  • Normalization
  • Learning characteristic curve

With normalization, the mechanical end stops of the power window regulator are recorded and stored.
The characteristic curve is learnt immediately after normalization.
When the characteristic curve is learnt, the mechanical closing forces of the power windows are recorded and stored for correct operation of the anti-trapping mechanism.
Initialization, i.e. normalization and learning of characteristic curve, is performed in a continuous operation.
NOTE: An initialization  must be performed:
  • In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch function, no opening or no convenience function possible.
  • After the power windows drive or door module has been replaced.
  • After work is carried out on the power windows mechanism.
WARNING: There is no anti-trap mechanism during initialization.

Necessary preliminary work: 

Operating procedure for initialization (manual):

Deleting the initialization: 

NOTE: Deletion of initialization was successful if toll function and anti-trap mechanism have been rendered inoperative.

Performing initialization: 

NOTE: Re-initialization was successful if toll function and anti-trap mechanism function flawlessly.
