Window Motor Initialization: Notes

NOTE: Initialization is required to learn both the full UP and full DOWN positions and the profile of the glass as it travels through the glass channel. Once initialized, obstacle detection is enabled. This procedure is only required for MKX (LH and RH front) or Edge (LH front only) window motors.

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 or for any operation in which grease or lubricants are applied to the window regulator or glass run.

NOTE: A new (original factory setting) or de-initialized front window motor will not operate in one-touch up or one-touch-down mode until initialized. If a new front window motor has been installed, proceed to the INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE .

NOTE: If diagnosing a LH or RH front window switch problem, carry out the window initialization procedure before installing a new window switch.

NOTE: All front window components (window glass, window regulator, window motor, seals and glass top run) must be installed and tightened to specification before carrying out 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 carried out.
