Window Motor Initialization: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Initialization is required to learn both the full UP and full DOWN positions of the glass as it travels through the glass channel. Once initialized, obstacle detection is enabled. This procedure is only required for Fusion and Milan (LH front only) or MKZ (LH and RH front) 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. All 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: A new (original factory setting) or de-initialized LH front or RH front (MKZ only) window motor will not operate in one-touch up mode until initialized. If a new LH or RH (MKZ only) front window motor has been installed, proceed to 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 performed.
