Re-initialise the Power Windows

Last updated: June 6, 2026

Lost the one-touch (auto up/down) on your Volvo S60 (225, 2018–present) after a flat or disconnected battery? The window motor has simply forgotten its limits. You re-teach them by hand in under a minute — no tools.

What Happened

The module stores the fully-closed position so one-touch can stop neatly and the anti-trap can react. Cut the power and that memory clears, leaving hold-to-move only.

Re-teaching a Window

1. Door closed, ignition on.
2. Pull the switch up to close the window fully and keep holding ~2–3 seconds past the stop.
3. Release, then press down to open fully, pausing at the bottom.
4. Pull up again to close fully, holding a couple of seconds at the top.
5. Release and check one-touch both ways.

Repeat on each one-touch window from its own switch.

Not Working Yet?

• Hold longer at the top so the closed limit registers.
• Shut the door and make sure the 12 V battery is healthy during the learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my S60 windows stop auto-closing?

A battery disconnect or flat battery cleared the learned travel; re-initialise to bring one-touch back.

How do I reset the auto window on a Volvo S60?

Pull the switch up to close fully and hold 2–3 s, then open fully and close fully again, holding at the top.

Every window?

Just the one-touch ones, each from its own switch.

Any tools?

None — it’s all done at the switches.
