2006 BMW 330i StandardSECTION 67 62 ... Notes on initializing power window unit in front door
WARNING: Risk of injury
There is no anti-trapping protection during initialization.

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

Requirements for correct initialization: 

  • Terminal "R" activated
  • Doors and windows closed
  • Sufficient battery voltage; connect charger if necessary

Initialization  comprises:

  • Erasure of initialization
  • Reinitialization

An initialization  must be performed:

  • In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch control function, no opening or if available no comfort function is possible
  • After the power window drive has been replaced
  • After work is carried out on the power window mechanism
  • If necessary, after a power supply interruption, 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 adjustment work on the door window glass
  • After adjustment work on the convertible top
  • After replacement of seals

Erasure of initialization: 

  • Open door window glass fully
  • Actuate power window switch in "Open" position (second switch position) and hold down for between 15 and 20 seconds

This erases initialization of the power window, anti-trapping protection and toll function are inactive.

Check whether one-touch control (toll) function is inactive, otherwise repeat procedure.

Reinitialization: 

  • Close door window completely
  • After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position)

This completes initialization.

NOTE: Carry out function check (one-touch control function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, comfort function).
