Front Door Window Motor: Service and Repair
DOOR WINDOW MOTOR INITIALIZATION
CAUTION: Make sure that no obstructions are present in the window system when carrying out this procedure.
NOTE:
-
The LF window motor is in error mode when shipped and will be inoperative until initialized.
-
The LF window motor must be reinitialized whenever: the motor is removed from window regulator drum housing, a new motor is installed, a new
window regulator is installed, new window glass is installed, glass top run removal or installation, or when carrying out any operation in which
grease or lubricants are applied to the window system.
-
All LF window components (window glass, window regulator, window motor, and glass top run) must be installed and tightened to specification
before carrying out this procedure.
-
this procedure is only partially completed, the LF window motor will remain un-initialized and only the proportional up/down functions will
operate.
-
Once the ignition key is turned to the ON position in Step 6, it must remain on until the entire procedure is completed.
-
Step 7 requires that the master control switch (LF) be held in the UP position until the LF window motor stalls the window glass into the upper
header seal. Step 8 requires that the master control switch (LF) be momentarily actuated to the DOWN position.
-
Step 9 requires that the master control switch (LF) be held in the UP position until the LF window motor stalls the window glass into the upper
header seal and the window carries out its down-up sequence, indicating successful completion of initialization.
1. NOTE: Steps 1 through 6 must be completed within 30 seconds. The entire procedure must be completed within five minutes.
Start with the ignition key in the OFF position with the LF door open.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Press the front window control switch (LF) to the AUTO position six times (AUTO up or AUTO down).
