If resetting it doesn't work (open information technology all the manner, then release and press the open button again, agree for v-ten secs).... my next step would exist to disconnect the battery, pump the brakes to discharge any residuum charge, then reconnect the battery.

Please notation that this volition crave y'all to reprogram and auto open up/close windows, including the driver's and rear window.

Wow -- my sunroof started this yesterday. I thought the kids had been playing with the switch -- the switch allows me to fully open or fully tilt the sunroof in my 2003, but it's automatic functions for opening, endmost or tilting up or downwardly seem to be gone. I'll try to carefully make clean the tracks and air current guard, but I don't know where the position sensors.

Wild to see iii posts within two weeks on this issue. Agonizing.

when ever the ecu looses constant 12 volts information technology looses the "position points" of all the way closed and all the way opened (whatever time the battery is disconnected). I'm talkin spicifically about the auto window functions. to reset them according to Toyota TSB'Southward

Driver window:
with window all the way up concur the switch in the down position allow window to roll all the way downwards concord switch in down position for 5-ten
seconds and then immediately pull up hold switch in the up position permit window close continue belongings for 5-10 seconds this resets machine Functions tap
downwards to test. indication of auto function needing calibration is your commuter side window switch reading the discussion "auto" the illumination behind the text will be flashing. cup your hand over it to bank check in bright light.

this scale has to be done to all motorcar programmed windows follow the same step for rear window sunroof and tilt part

with lord's day roof closed hold the slide open up direction of the push button until the SR fully opens hold for 5-x seconds release an push the close direction of the button hold until fully airtight continue holding for 5-10 seconds

follow by belongings the tilt open push until fully opened hold for 5-10 seconds release and push the tilt close side of the button hold when closed concur for 5-10 seconds test by concord borer to open each motorcar fuction

OK -- it's been a few weeks since I tried Burts suggestion. It worked. I had to fully close the unit, so hold the button down for 15-xx seconds until the window did a niggling bump. Then repeated with the window open up. Later on the 2d trial, all works again. I did wd40 all of the visible tracks and moving parts, cleaned out all of the debris, and cycled the window several times (earlier cleaning and re-WD40ing all said parts. Thanks Burt. I didn't find that trick in the owners guide. Toyota -- document this stuff for your users, unless it's a way to have us generate dealer visits.

Thanks again, Burt!

This was very helpful information. Since my rear window and sunroof accept both had to be reprogrammed in the past several weeks, I am thinking my battery (original westward/ 135K on it) might finally be kicking the bucket. I guess I better supervene upon that earlier my side by side route trip...
