Express Window Programming and Setup

2011 Cadillac CTS V, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Express Window Programming and Setup

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
  • When a door harness has been disconnected
  • When the battery has been disconnected or replaced

Follow the procedure below to program the power windows:

    NOTE: 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.
  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
  3. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.

The window should now be normalized and the window should perform the express up and express down functions.
