Programming

Reprogramming the HomeLink

system

▼

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.

To program a device to HomeLink using a

HomeLink button previously trained,

follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink

button. DO NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash

after 20 seconds. Without releasing the

HomeLink button, proceed with

“Programming” - step 1.

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:

Erasing Programmed HomeLink

Buttons

▼

To erase the existing programming from

all three operating channels, press and

hold the two outside buttons (

) on

the auto-dimming mirror until the

HomeLink indicator light begins to flash

after approximately 10 seconds.

Verify that the programming has been

erased when you resell the vehicle.

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener or

gate operator, it is advised to unplug the

device during the “cycling” process to

prevent possible overheating.

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.

Operating the HomeLink System

▼

Press the programmed HomeLink button

to operate a programmed device. The code

will continue being transmitted for a

maximum of 20 seconds.
