REPROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TRANSMITTER CODES

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.

NOTE: If programing the HomeLink® transceiver is unsuccessful using the following procedure, refer to the Owner's Manual for the current customer assistance phone number.

To program a device to the HomeLink® transceiver using a button previously trained, follow these steps:

• Press and hold the desired HomeLink® transceiver button. DO NOT release the button. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink® transceiver button, proceed to step 2.
• Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink® transceiver button while keeping the indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® transceiver 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 Reprogramming Step 3 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian Programming" section.

• The HomeLink® transceiver indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after it 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® transceiver button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, reprogramming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released.

  NOTE: If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with "Reprogramming" 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 reprogrammed HomeLink® transceiver 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 reprogramming.

  The HomeLink® transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.

Canadian Programming/Gate Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming HomeLink®" step 3 with the following:

NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device or move the vehicle out of range during the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.

• 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button while you press and release every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink®. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.
