Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that
were manufactured after 1995:
These garage door openers can be identified by
th

e “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
m a

nufacturer.

HomeLink® with the engine ON that your
vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the
garage door remains open at all times.

n e

xt step after the LEARN button has been
pushed.
6. R eturn to the vehicle and push the
