or sun visor designate the three different HomeLink 
channels. NOTE:
HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is active.

trained, follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button until
the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program-
ming Homelink Step 2 and follow all remaining steps.

in your vehicle.

20 seconds until the red indicator flashes. Note that all
channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be

are some of the most common solutions:
•Replace the battery in the original transmitter.
•Press the “Learn” button on the Garage Door Opener
to complete the training for a Rolling Code.
•Did you unplug the device for training, and remember
to plug it back in?
