67 62... Notes on initializing power window unit in front door

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5 M, 2012 BMW X5 M, 2011 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Risk of injury!
There is no anti-trapping protection during initialization.

An initialization must be performed:

In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch control function, no opening or if available no comfort function is possible.
After the power window drive has been replaced.
After work is carried out on the power window mechanism.
If necessary, after an open circuit, e.g. disconnection of the battery or disconnection of the power supply to the door.
After the door window glass has been removed and installed or replaced.
After adjustment work on the door window glass.
After adjustment work on the convertible top.
After replacement of seals.

initialization is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.

Requirements for correct initialization:

Terminal "R" activated.
Doors and windows closed.
Sufficient battery voltage; connect charger if necessary.

Initialization comprises:

Erasure of initialization.
Reinitialisation.

Erasure of initialization:

Open side window fully.
Actuate power window switch in "Open" position (second switch position) and hold down for between 15 and 20 seconds.

This clears initialization of the power window. Anti-trapping protection and one-touch control (toll) function are inactive.

Check whether one-touch control (toll) function is inactive, otherwise repeat procedure.

Re-initialisation:

Close door window completely
After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position).
Open door window glass fully.
After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Open" position (second switch position).
Close door window completely.
After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position).

This completes initialization.

NOTE: Carry out function check (one-touch control function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, comfort function).

NOTE: The power window can also be initialized in the BMW diagnosis system by means of a diagnosis job.
