Power Window Control System: Precaution
- NOTICE FOR INITIALIZATION
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following systems after the cable is reconnected.
SYSTEM NAME CHARTSystem Name See Navigation System (for DVD) INITIALIZATION Advanced Parking Guidance System Power Trunk Lid System Rear Door Sunshade System - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER OR TECHSTREAM
- When using the intelligent tester or Techstream with the engine switch off to troubleshoot: Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) or Techstream to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the tester and vehicle begins.
- After all DTCs are cleared, check if the trouble occurs again 6 seconds after the engine switch on (IG).
- POWER WINDOW CONTROL SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS CAUTION:
- The power window control system prohibits the AUTO UP/DOWN function when the jam protection function malfunctions. Therefore, troubleshoot the power window control system after confirming that no diagnostic codes are displayed.
- When the power window regulator or the power window regulator motor assembly is replaced, the power window control system must be initialized.
- After a door glass or a door glass run has been replaced, the jam protection function may operate unexpectedly when the AUTO UP function is used. In such cases, the AUTO UP function can be resumed by repeating the following operation at least 5 times:
- Close the power window by fully pulling up the power window switch and holding it at the AUTO UP position.
- Open the power window by fully pushing down the power window switch.
- The jam protection function may operate unexpectedly even when the power window control system is normal, due to detection of a different operation learned value when the door glass moving speed changes sharply under any of the following conditions:
- A power window being opened or closed while the vehicle is driving on a rough road.
- A power window being opened or closed while the door is being opened or closed.
- A sharp voltage change.
