Window Motor Normalized Procedure
A window motor that has not been normalized will no longer perform the express up and express down functions, this may occur during the following conditions:
- When a window motor has been disconnected or replaced
- When a door harness has been disconnected
- When the battery has been disconnected or replaced
When DTC B3205 4B & 3210 4B are set, the following warnings will be displayed on the driver information center:
Open, then Close Driver Window
Open, then Close Passenger Window
These warnings will clear once the windows have been "Normalized" and the respective DTC will clear.
To normalize the window motor, follow these steps:
The doors must be completely closed prior to normalizing the windows, a door that is open or ajar may cause the power window to function abnormally or to become inoperative while performing the normalizing procedure. If this occurs, verify that the door is completely closed then repeat the normalizing procedure.
