67 62... Notes on initializing power windows

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT, 2016 BMW 550i GT xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.

Alternatively, initialization of the power window regulation can also be carried out via the Service function in ISTA.
