Reprogramming Basic HomeLink® Transmitter Codes
WARNING:
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's exhaust while training the HomeLink® transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING:
Your motorized door or gate may open and close while you are training the HomeLink® Transceiver if the vehicle is in range of the motorized device. Do not train the HomeLink® transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
To program a device to HomeLink® using a HomeLink® button previously trained, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do NOT release the button.
- The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink® button, proceed to step 3.
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink® buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink button that you want to train and the hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in CANADIAN PROGRAMMING/GATE PROGRAMMING .
- The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from the slow to the rapid flash.
- Press and hold the just trained HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, begin with "Programming"
step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with "Programming" steps 6- 8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
- At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
- Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 8.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming.
HomeLink® should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
