Notes on initializing power windows (Cooper Convertible)

Initialization comprises: 

• Normalization
• Learning characteristic curve

With normalization, the mechanical end stops of the power electric windows are recorded and stored.

The characteristic curve is learned immediately after standardization.

When the characteristic curve is learned, the mechanical closing forces of the power windows are recorded and stored for correct operation of the crush guard.

Initialization, i.e. scaling and learning of characteristic curve, is performed in a continuous operation.

• In the event of malfunction, e.g. no one-touch mode, no opening or no convenience function possible.
• After the power windows drive or door module has been replaced.
• After work is carried out on the power windows mechanism.

Preliminary work needed: 

• Vehicle stationary
• Sufficient battery voltage available/connect charger if necessary
• Terminal "15? switched on
• All doors closed
• F12 up to 02/2012 soft top open, from 03/2012 soft top closed

Operating procedure for initialization (manual): 

Deleting the initialization: 

• Shift side window into lower end position.
• Press and hold switch in "Open one-touch mode" position (second switch position) for 15 to 25 seconds.

Performing initialization: 

• Shift side window to upper end position
• Pull and hold switch in "Close one-touch mode" position (second switch position) during the entire process.

Alternatively, initialization of the power window regulation can also be carried out via the Service function in ISTA.

Selection via: 

• Body
• Locking and security functions
• Power window regulator
• Initialize power electric windows
