How to Perform Window Initialization with Autel MS906Pro TS

Window initialization is the process by which the vehicle's body control module relearns and memorizes the window lift motor operating parameters. This is necessary if your one-touch window lift fails or if you've replaced a window component.

The MS906Pro TS is a popular auto diagnostic tool in the low-priced $1,000 price range. Not only does it support full OE-system diagnostics, but it also supports specialized features like bidirectional control and ECU coding. Furthermore, it includes all TPMS functions. The MS906Pro TS is the top-tier, expert-level scan tool of 2025.

Today, we'll explain how to use the Autel MS906Pro TS to initialize your car windows, resolving issues like windows not lifting or lowering with one click or after replacing the window lifter. Let's take a look and help you easily initialize your car windows at home.

What is Window Initialization?

Definition

Window initialization means that the car body module relearns the upper and lower limits of the car window glass, so that the electric glass can be automatically raised and lowered normally and the anti-pinch function can operate normally.

When do You Need to Initialize the Windows?

When you have performed the following operations or the same situation occurs, the window needs to be initialized:

• After disconnecting or replacing the battery: When the car battery is powered off, the battery is replaced or repairs are performed, the window control unit will lose its memory.
• After replacing or repairing window-related parts: After replacing the window lift motor, power window switch or glass lifter, the window needs to be initialized.
• Anti-pinch function failure: When you find that the anti-pinch function fails, you need to initialize the window to restore the anti-pinch function.
• The car window one-button lift fails: Your car's windows cannot be raised or lowered with one button, and can only be done manually by long pressing.
• Window operation abnormality: The window glass becomes stuck or stops abnormally when it is raised or lowered, or cannot stop at a precise position.
