BMW Normalize Windows | 2017 7-Series Window Calibration with YOUCANIC Scanner

About this video

In this video, we demonstrate how to normalize and calibrate the windows on a 2017 BMW 740 7-Series using the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner. Normalizing the windows is essential for ensuring proper operation of the automatic up/down feature and anti-trap functions.

Why is it needed?
The window normalization process ensures that the windows move smoothly and correctly align with the door frame. Over time, or after battery disconnection, window regulator replacement, or other repairs, the windows may lose their programmed positions. Normalizing the windows restores their proper function, preventing issues such as windows not closing completely, automatic features not working, or anti-trap protection failing.

Common messages and fault codes related to window normalization:

DTC 0093C2: Power window initialization incomplete.
DTC 0093C3: Power window anti-trap protection error.
