Before You Begin Programming HomeLink

Programming A Rolling Code

Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage

before you begin programming.

For programming garage door openers that were manufac-

tured after 1995:

For more efficient programming and accurate transmission

of the radio-frequency signal, it is recommended that a new

battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device

that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.

These garage door openers can be identified by the “LEARN”

or “TRAIN” button located where the hanging antenna is

attached to the garage door opener. It is NOT the button that

is normally used to open and close the door. The name and

color of the button may vary by manufacturer.

To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/RUN

position and push and hold the two outside HomeLink

buttons (I and III) for up 20 seconds or until the red

indicator flashes.

NOTE:

• Erasing all channels should only be performed when

programming HomeLink for the first time. Do not erase

channels when programming additional buttons.

• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please

call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at

HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

Training The Garage Door Opener

1 — Door Opener

2 — Training Button

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 77

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate

the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually

be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to

the garage door opener/device motor. Firmly push and

release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. On some

garage door openers/devices there may be a light that

blinks when the garage door opener/device is in the

LEARN/TRAIN mode.

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

place the ignition in the RUN position with the engine ON.

Make sure while programming HomeLink with the engine

ON that your vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the

garage door remains open at all times.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program

while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

NOTE: You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next

step after the LEARN button has been pushed.

3. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to

program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-

mitter button.

6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed

HomeLink button twice (holding the button for two

seconds each time). If the garage door opener/device

activates, programming is complete.

4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator

light. The HomeLink indicator will flash slowly and

then rapidly after HomeLink has received the frequency

signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both

buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to

rapid.

NOTE: If the garage door opener/device does not activate,

push the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete

the training.

To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, repeat

each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the

channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code

5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and

observe the indicator light.

For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured

before 1995:

• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming

is complete and the garage door/device should acti-

vate when the HomeLink button is pushed.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

• To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons,

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT

erase the channels.

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

place the ignition in the RUN position with the engine ON.

Make sure while programming HomeLink with the engine

ON that your vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the

garage door remains open at all times.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States

that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after

several seconds of transmission:

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program

while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

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.

3. Push and hold the Homelink button you want to

program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-

mitter button.

4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator

light. The Homelink indicator will flash slowly and then

rapidly after HomeLink has received the frequency

signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both

buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to

rapid.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling

process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door

or gate motor.

1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 79

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

place the ignition in the RUN position with the engine ON.

Make sure while programming HomeLink with the engine

ON that your vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the

garage door remains open at all times.

NOTE:

• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming

is complete and the garage door/device should acti-

vate when the HomeLink button is pushed.

• To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons,

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT

erase the channels.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program

while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for

programming, plug it back in at this time.

3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink button while

you push and release (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-

mitter every two seconds until HomeLink has success-

fully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light

will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained.

Using HomeLink

To operate, switch the ignition to the ON/RUN position

and the press and release the programmed HomeLink

button. Activation will now occur for the programmed

device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security

system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The

hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at

any time. If the ignition is switched to the OFF position,

HomeLink will remain active for three minutes. During

this time, if the vehicle is locked, HomeLink is disabled.

4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates.

When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30

seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may

open and close while you are programming.

5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and

observe the indicator light.

Security

If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call

toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at

HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in

your vehicle.

To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20

seconds until the red indicator flashes.

WARNING!

• Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-

ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while

programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause

serious injury or death.

NOTE: All channels will be erased. Individual channels

cannot be erased.

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver is disabled when the

Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

• Your motorized door or gate will open and close

while you are programming the universal trans-

ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people, pets

or other objects are in the path of the door or gate.

Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener

that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by

Federal safety standards. This includes most garage

door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not

use a garage door opener without these safety fea-

tures. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet

at HomeLink.com for safety information or assis-

tance.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you are having trouble programming HomeLink, here

are some of the most common solutions:

• Replace the battery in the Garage Door Opener hand-

held transmitter.

• Push the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener to

complete the training for a Rolling Code.

• Did you unplug the device for programming and re-

member to plug it back in?
