V90 Power Window Failure

Hi, I've got a 2016 Volvo V90 with a diesel engine and I'm having a weird issue. I had to replace the battery, and now the power windows don't work anymore. All of them. There's an error stored in the system memory about the window regulator initialization failing. Has anyone run into this after a battery swap?

I've had something similar happen with my V90. Did you try the window reset procedure? Usually, you hold the window button down for a few seconds after it's fully down, then hold it up for a few seconds after it's fully up. Does that do anything?

Yeah, I tried that, no luck. I've tried the procedure on all the windows, multiple times. Still getting the error and none of the windows respond at all. I'm not sure what else to try. What did you end up doing to fix yours?

Sounds like you've got the same issue I had. Unfortunately, the window reset procedure didn't work for me either. The dealer told me that sometimes the window regulator module needs to be reprogrammed after a power interruption like a battery change. I ended up having to take it to a workshop to get it sorted.

Thanks for the info, that's what I was afraid of. I'll take it to a shop then. Just got a quote for 290€ which is a bit annoying for a battery change, but at least it's sorted. Appreciate the help!
