Why can't the windows of the Reiz be raised or lowered after power failure?

Because the window lifting is actually operated by a small motor, it cannot be controlled after the power is turned off. In this case, there is no need to start the engine; you only need to power the battery to operate the window lifting. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Toyota's brand logo: The three-ellipse logo of Toyota Motor Corporation has been in use since the early 1990s. The large ellipse in the logo represents the Earth, and the middle part consists of two ellipses combined vertically to form a T shape, representing Toyota Motor Corporation. 2. Founding background: The founder was Kiichiro Toyoda (1894-1952), and the current president is Akio Toyoda (grandson of Kiichiro Toyoda). The headquarters are located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.
When I was driving the Reiz, I also encountered the issue of the windows not working after a power outage. The main reason is that the entire vehicle's electrical system shuts down when the power is cut off, and without power supply, the electric motors for the windows can't function. Power outages can occur when the battery is dead or manually disconnected, causing all electric-dependent features like window operation and air conditioning to stop. The Reiz's window system relies on a control module that requires continuous power to operate the switches. After a power outage, the module enters a protective mode to prevent damage. To restore it, sometimes a simple initialization is needed after reconnecting the power, such as rolling the windows up and down a few times to let the system relearn their positions. I usually recommend avoiding letting the battery completely drain, checking the battery life regularly, and not randomly disconnecting the power during car washes—these small habits can prevent trouble. If a power outage does happen, try restarting the vehicle to see if it resolves the issue. If not, it's best to visit a repair shop for a check-up. Don’t ignore such minor problems.
