Door Window Motor Initialization: Notes

CAUTION: Make sure no obstructions are present in the window system when carrying out this procedure.
NOTE: A battery disconnect will not require this procedure to be carried out.
NOTE: Excessive bounce-back (bounce-back that occurs with no obstructions present) may indicate a non-initialized window motor.
NOTE: The front window motors must be initialized whenever: the motor is removed from the window regulator, a new motor is installed, a new window regulator is installed, a new window glass is installed, a glass top run removal and installation and when carrying out any operation in which grease or lubricants are applied to the window system. A new front window motor will be in a proportional up/down mode until initialized.
NOTE: All front window components (window glass, window regulator, window motor and glass top run) must be installed and tightened to specification before carrying out this procedure.
NOTE: If this procedure is only partially completed, the front window motor will remain non-initialized and only the proportional up/down functions will operate. A non-initialized window motor may allow one-touch down operation, but will NOT allow one-touch up operation.
NOTE: If the one touch up does not function after three attempts using the window control switch initialization method, especially if false bounce back occurs, perform the Door Window Motor Initialization using the diagnostic tool.
