If your power windows are not working properly on your Toyota Prado, try this trick. You may also need to do this after replacing your car battery.
How to re-program the power windows on your Toyota Prado 120 series
The instructions on how to re-program the power windows on the Toyota Prado 120-series are somewhat buried in the car owner’s manual.
The procedure is called normalising the power windows and can be found on page 23 of my manual under the “Jam protection function” subheading. The section makes absolutely no reference to needing to do this after replacing the Prado’s battery. The Toyota service guy seemed to indicate that it needed to be done every time you replace the car’s battery.
The procedure to normalise the power windows in the 120-series Toyota Prado is:
- Push down the power window switch on each door and lower the window halfway.
- Pull up the switch until the window closes and hold the switch for a second.
- That is it! There is no three.
I did this to the three passenger windows using the switches on their respective doors. The master switch on the driver’s door now operates again.
