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.
Driver Window Regulator
Resetting power window regulator motor (initializing pulse sensor) is necessary if:
- Battery is disconnected.
- Power window regulator master switch assembly, wire harness, power window regulator switch, power window regulator assembly and power window regulator motor are replaced or removed/installed.
- If PWR fuse, P/W fuse and ECU-IG fuse are replaced.
If resetting is not performed, master switch assembly will not be able to operate AUTO operation function, jam protection function and remote operation function. To reset regulator, turn ignition switch to ON position. Open power window halfway by pressing power window switch. Fully pull up switch until power window is fully closed and continue to hold switch for about one second after power window is closed. Check that the auto up/down function operates normally. If auto up/down function operates normally, initialization is complete. If auto up/down function does not operate normally, disconnect negative battery cable and wait at least 10 seconds. Connect negative battery cable and repeat initialization procedure.
