Try this and you'll be surprised

Anti trap function problem solution

1. turn your key to position ONE
2. open window by depressing the key yourself (dont use auto function)
3. wait 5-10 secs
4. close window by depressing the key yourself (dont use auto function)
5. wait 5- 10 secs
6. repeat steps 2-4
7. should solve the problem (resetting the motors)


Regards

They have to replace the window motor. That's what they did to my car, at least.

Replaced motor and tracks that were causing fault signals to motor. Motor seemed excessive to me, but he implied they operate together.

Everything OK now.

I have the same problem with my rear passenger side window. It just says Anti-Trap and you have to reset it (all the way up and all the way down) to get rid of the error msg. I have taken it to the stealer and thay ey have changed the motor but still happens... Its going back in soon though...



Just read Rudy's post re the window manual thingy. The emergency and panic mode for closing windows is somtyhing i didnt know about! Gonna try it some time! If you activate the panic mode the motor keeps working until the thermal cutout - the anti-trap feature is disabled! Cool!
