 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 you are having 

difficulties programming a gate operator 

by using the “Programming” procedures 

(regardless of where you live), 

replace 

“Programming HomeLink” step 3

 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.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink 

button while you 

press and release 

— every two seconds

 (“cycle”) your 

hand-held transmitter until the frequency 

signal has successfully been accepted by 

HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash 

slowly and then rapidly.)

Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to 

complete.

 Operating the HomeLink System

Press the programmed HomeLink button 

to operate a programmed device. The 

code will continue being transmitted for a 

maximum of 20 seconds.

 Reprogramming the HomeLink 

system

To program a device to HomeLink using 

a HomeLink button previously trained, 

follow these steps:
1.  Press and hold the desired HomeLink 

button. 

DO NOT

 release the button.

2.  The indicator light will begin to flash 

after 20 seconds. Without releasing 

the HomeLink button, proceed with 

“Programming” - step 1.

 Erasing Programmed HomeLink 

Buttons

To erase the existing programming from 

all three operating channels, press and 

hold the two outside buttons (

, 

) on 

the auto-dimming mirror until the 

HomeLink indicator light begins to flash 

after approximately 10 seconds.

Verify that the programming has been 

erased when you resell the vehicle.
