Back Window Glass: Service and Repair
Rear Window Positioning
CAUTION:
^
Make sure that no obstructions are present in the power rear window system when carrying out this procedure.
^
If the glass/regulator system is binding, the system must be diagnosed and a new component must be installed. Do not apply hand pressure to glass
that does not move freely.
NOTE:
^
Because the power rear window removal/installation position is approximately three-quarters down and the power rear window motor can only
move the window to three positions, a special procedure is necessary to position the window to the removal/installation position.
^
If the power rear window motor does not respond to this procedure, refer to the diagnosis and testing for repair. If the window must be removed
and the window motor does not respond to this procedure, remove the window motor. The window then can be moved by carefully applying hand
pressure in the downward direction.
^
By only partially performing the power rear window motor initialization procedure, the window motor will enter error mode. In error mode, no
window motor movement is possible and the window motor will have to be re-initialized. Refer to Rear Window Motor Initialized.
^
Steps 1-6 must be completed within 30 seconds.
1. Start with the ignition in the OFF position.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
3. Press the power rear window control switch vent button six times.
4. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
5. Press the power rear window control switch vent button six times.
6. Turn the ignition to the ON position. The power rear window will move up-down-up-down approximately 20 mm (0.8 in). This movement
indicates that the window motor has entered initialized mode.
7. Rotate and hold the power rear window control switch to the closed position until the window stalls in the upper header seal.
8. Momentarily rotate the power rear window control switch to the open position and release. The window will carry out a one-touch down operation
until the window stalls at the bottom of the travel stop designed into the window regulator.
9. Rotate and hold the power rear window control switch to the closed position momentarily until the window regulator glass attach nuts are lined up
with the sheet metal access holes. The window will be approximately in the three-quarter down position when installed to the window regulator.
10. Repeat this procedure if the window regulator glass attach nuts are raised too far above the sheet metal access holes.
