PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTER CODES

Programming Common Transmitter Codes





WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's exhaust while training the transceiver. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Your motorized door or gate may open and close while you are training the Universal Transceiver if the vehicle is in range of the motorized device. Do not train the 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: When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside the garage. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink(R) for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.


The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display which includes HomeLink(R) system messages. The EVIC is located in the upper part of the cluster between the speedometer and tachometer.

1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) buttons (5), and release only when the EVIC display shows "Channels Cleared" (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink(R) buttons.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) 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 the "Gate Operator/Canadian Programming" section.

4. The EVIC display will show "Channel X Training" (where X is Channel 1, 2, or 3). Release both buttons after the EVIC display shows "Channel X Trained". NOTE: If the EVIC display shows "Did Not Train" repeat steps 2-4.

5. Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) button and observe the EVIC display. If the EVIC display shows "Channel X Transmit" (where X is Channel 1, 2, or 3), programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink(R) button is pressed and released. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step two. Do not repeat step one.
NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transceiver, but your garage door does not operate using the transmitter and your garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage door opener may have a multiple security code system (rolling code system). Please proceed to steps 6-8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most common garage door openers require this step.

6. 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.
7. 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 eight.

8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink(R) 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.
9. HomeLink(R) should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
10. To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step two. Do not repeat step one.

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(R) 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(R)" 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(R) button while you press and release every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink(R). The EVIC display will show "CHANNEL X TRAINED" (where X is Channel 1, 2, or 3). Proceed with "Programming" step four to complete.
