67 62 ... Notes on initializing power windows

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

WARNING: Danger of injury! There is no anti-trap mechanism during initialization.

An initialization must be performed:

In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no toll function, no opening or if available no convenience function is possible
Following replacement of drive for power window regulators
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 adjusting procedure on the door window glass
After adjusting procedure on the convertible top
After replacement of seals

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

Requirements for correct initialization:

Initialization comprises:

Deleting the initialization:

Move the door window into center position
Disconnect the plug connection for flat motor power window regulator or remove the plug connection for flat motor power window regulator.
Operate the power window switch several times

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:

Open door window glass fully
After the lower end position has been reached without interruption, move to the upper block and hold the switch for at least 2 seconds in the "close" position (second switch position)

This completes initialization.

NOTE: Carry out function check (toll function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, convenience function).

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