Rear Window Regulator

HI All,
I have a 2001 Freelander with a rear window problem.
The regulator cables snapped and the window does not work
I have purchased a ready made kit to replace the wiring
My question is - when i renew all the cabling etc do I have to re-calibrate rear window settings or should it work as normal
many thanks fo any and all help

Yes best to re-calibrate the window as when you replace the cables you have to let the window find out where it is.

Hi,
Many thanks for reply.
I have been searching around and foundng the following Calibration procedure
is this correcrect ?

1. Disconnect the battery earth lead. Refer to Workshop Manual, General Information, Electrical Precautions, Battery disconnection.

NOTE: Allow ten seconds to elapse between disconnection and connection to erase the stored calibration value.

2. Connect the battery earth lead.

NOTE: The tail door glass will drop approximately 2 seconds after the battery has been connected.

3. Start engine.

4. Ensure that all electrical loads, i.e. lights, heater etc. are turned off.

5. Increase the engine speed to 1500 rev/min for 10 seconds, after 10 seconds and whilst maintaining 1500 rev/min, carry out the following operations:

Close the tail door glass to calibrate the CCU.

Fully open the tail door glass.

Fully close the tail door glass.

If the tail door glass remains closed the calibration procedure is complete, refer to step 6.

If the tail door glass opens then repeat the calibration procedure from step 1.

6. Allow engine to idle then switch off engine."

Thanks
Taz

sounds like a plan to me or you could do it this way

How can I recalibrate the rear window operation?


The control unit needs to know the position of the rear window glass for safe operation. If you have problems with operation of the rear window it might be worth trying this procedure.

1. Disarm the anti-theft alarm system.
2. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Reconnect the vehicle battery.
5. The CCU will now drive the tail door window to the fully lowered position.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the 'ignition' position.
7. Press and hold the tail door window switch in the 'Up' position until the window has reached the fully closed position.
8. The tail door window should now be calibrated. If calibration has failed, a warning buzzer will sound.
