67 62... Notes on initializing power windows: Notes
Initialization comprises:
- Normalization
- Learning characteristic curve
With normalization, the mechanical end stops of the power window regulator are recorded and stored.
The characteristic curve is learnt immediately after normalization.
When the characteristic curve is learnt, the mechanical closing forces of the power window are recorded and stored for correct operation of the anti-trapping mechanism.
Initialization, i.e. normalization and learning of characteristic curve, is performed in a continuous operation.
- In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch function, no opening or no comfort function possible.
- After the power window drive or door module has been replaced.
- After work is carried out on the power window mechanism.
