2015 NISSAN LEAF ECU

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
• Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s
12-volt battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases) . Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional informa-
tion, see “Programming HomeLink®” in
this section.
WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing ga-
rage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a ga-
rage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious in-
jury or death.
• During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will
open or close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to
the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion when programming HomeLink®. It is
also recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink®
for quicker programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light
1in view.
