The keyfob windows down feature on my 2011 TSX stopped working. It also does not work with the key inserted in the door and "turn twice and hold". Any ideas? Everything worked fine until recently. I had the airbag recall done and then noticed the problem.

 

Hmm this is interesting. Would like to know the solution as well.

 

Reset the power windows after doing any of the
following actions:
• Power window regulator replacement, removal/
installation, or repair
• Power window motor replacement, removal/
installation, or repair
• Window run channel replacement or removal/
installation
• Front passenger’s power window switch replacement
or removal/installation
• Door glass replacement, removal/installation, or
repair
• Power is removed from the driver’s power window
master switch or front passenger’s power window
switch while the power window timer is ON.
NOTE: If the front passenger’s power window has lost
power when the key off timer is ON, it cannot be
operated from the driver’s switch and must be reset
from the front passenger’s power window switch.



Resetting the Power Window Control Unit

NOTE:
• Do each bullet in step 4 within 5 seconds of each
other.
• The front passenger’s power window must be reset
from the front passenger’s power window switch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Move the power window all the way down by using
the power window DOWN switch.
3. Open the driver’s door.
4. Do the following three times before going to step 5:
• Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
• Push and hold the power window DOWN switch.
• Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
• Release the power window DOWN switch.
5. Confirm that AUTO UP no longer works. If AUTO
UP still works, go back to step 1.
6. Move the power window all the way down using
the power window DOWN switch.
7. Pull up and hold the power window UP switch until
the power window is all the way up, then continue
to hold the switch for 1 second.
8. Confirm that the power window control unit is reset
by using the power window AUTO UP and AUTO
DOWN function.
• If the power window still does not work in AUTO,
repeat the procedure several times, paying close
attention to the 5 second time limit between
steps.
• If it still does not work, go to B-CAN System
Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-110).

 

info that came up on repair book..Not sure if it will work for OP

 

Check if your key is synced/linked with your vehicle. If not, you can search on the forum on how to link a key to the vehicle.

 

Thanks. I gave it a try. I managed to get the auto-up to stop and start again, but it did not resolve the all windows down function.

 

I think it must be synced. I have two keys and each gives me Driver 1 or Driver 2 message on display.

 

I took it to the dealer today. They did a free reset, but it did not fix it. Next option is to pay the dealer $144 to find the problem and probably more to fix it. So I'm thinking about it. Remote windows down is a nice feature in the summer, but maybe I can live with out it.

 

Does it not work with both keys or just one of them?

 

Failure with both keys.

 

I have not used that feature at all since I have a remote start installed. besides OE remote sucks in range so it is not really helpful if you are too far away. I would say leave it and better spend money towards a remote start. Serves the same purpose, just start the car a min or so before getting into the car. Just my 2 cents

 

Well, if both keys don't do it, then I would appear that it's a car module related issue (simple, and you probably already figured that, but it was worth crossing off the list).

I need to go check again, but a few days ago I also tried to roll my windows down by twisting the key in the door and it didn't work. I swear it used to.

I don't recall if there was a MID setting or something.

Can you re-state what your current issue is? Windows can't be controlled from the driver keyhole? But the fob works or doesn't work now?

 

The fob for both keys does not work and the key in the door for both keys does not work for controlling the windows on a 2011 TSX.

 

It's working again, and I did nothing. Today when I got to the car I decided to give it a try and boom, all the windows went down and the moon roof opened. What the?? There must be a lose connection somewhere. Oh well, I was ready to live with out it, but it was in the upper 80's today, so I'm glad it worked.
