Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Synchronization of power windows, function - GF72.29-P-4003PP
MODEL 203
Synchronization links the counter reading for position recognition with the actual position of the side window in the relevant door control module.
The following control modules must be synchronized:
- Left front door control module (N69/1)
- Right front door control module (N69/2)
- Left rear door control module (N69/3)
- Right rear door control module (N69/4)
Model 203.7 is not equipped with rear door control modules or power window motors.
Synchronization must be performed whenever desynchronization has occurred.
Until a window is synchronized, the end position of the side window is unknown to the corresponding door control module and the automatic raising function cannot be carried out.
Synchronization is therefore required for the power window automatic raising function.
Performing synchronization
Move the relevant window with the power window switch into top block position and continue operating the switch in the manual raising function. When the control module detects a motor lock-up for at least 0.3 s, it sets the position recognition counter to zero.
As of 1.7.02 the synchronization is performed after 0.5 s.
The window is now in the synchronized state, this means that the control module can now switch off the motor during opening and closing of the window before the mechanical stop is reached.
Resynchronization
The control module automatically performs resynchronization when there is an error in position recognition, for example, if the position counter shows a negative count.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
