Programming A Rolling Code

For programming garage door openers that were manufac-
tured after 1995:

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 manufac-
turer.

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

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.

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

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.

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:

You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next

step after the LEARN button has been pushed.

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.

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

For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured
before 1995:

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

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

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.

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission:

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.

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.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

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.

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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

119

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.

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.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time.

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.

Security

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.

NOTE:

All channels will be erased. Individual channels

cannot be erased.

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver is disabled when the
Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

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?
