Initialization 

1. WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this article, refer to health and safety warnings in GENERAL INFORMATION . Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
   NOTE: This step is only necessary for an existing window regulator motor. If installing a new window regulator motor, proceed to Step 2.

   To initialize an existing window regulator motor, the motor must first be de-initialized. This can be accomplished by disconnecting the battery cable or window motor fuse while the window is operating. After the motor has been de-initialized, reconnect the battery cable or fuse before proceeding to the following step.

2. WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
   NOTE: The door MUST be closed during this procedure (for convertibles, the top and quarter glass must be in the CLOSED and UP position) in order for the door window motor to initialize.

   With the door window in the fully OPEN position, press and hold the window control switch in the UP position at the second detent until the window glass stalls into the glass top run for at least 2 seconds. Release the switch.

3. Press and hold the window control switch in the DOWN position at the second detent until the window glass stalls at the bottom of its travel for at least 2 seconds.
4. Cycle the window glass up and down once more to set the window soft stop for the DOWN position.
5. Test for correct window operation by carrying out the one-touch up and one-touch down features.
