PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
G
ARAGE DOOR OPENER
To program any of the HomeLink® buttons to
activate your garage door opener motor, proceed
as follows:

NOTE:
All HomeLink® buttons are programmed using
this procedure. You do not need to erase all chan -
nels when programming additional buttons.
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi -
tion.
2. Place the garage door opener transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Home -
Link® 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
garage door opener transmitter button you
are trying to replicate.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the HomeLink® indicator light. The Home -
Link® indicator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly. Once this happens, release both
buttons.

NOTE:
Make sure the garage door opener motor is
plugged in before moving on to the rolling code/
non-rolling code final steps. Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps

NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate rolling
code final step 2, after completing rolling code
final step 1.
1. At the garage door opener motor (in the
garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAIN”
button. This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.
2. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed HomeLink® button three times
(holding the button for two seconds each

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
M
ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE
The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to
a miscellaneous device follows the same
procedure as programming to a garage door
opener

Ú
page 41. Be sure to determine if the
device has a rolling code, or non-rolling code
before beginning the programming process.

NOTE:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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. The
procedure may need to be performed multiple
times to successfully pair the device to your
HomeLink® buttons.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transmitter. Do not program the
transmitter if people or pets are in the path of
the door or gate.
Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the
transmitter. Exhaust gas from your vehicle
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.

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 remember to plug it back in?
