two seconds have passed. Repeat
this process up to three times to
complete the programming. The
device becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to the
next step.

5. 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.

6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or

“smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)

NOTE

Complete the programming within 30
seconds.

7. Return to the vehicle and firmly 

press

and 

hold

 the Homelink button, and

then 

release

 it after two seconds have

passed. 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 process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.

8. If the status indicator arrows are

flashing, refer to Garage Door
Two-Way Communication.

Gate operator/Canadian
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 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 are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), 

replace

Step 3 of Programming the HomeLink
System

 with the following:

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the hand-held
transmitter for 2 seconds and release it
