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
repeatedly until the indicator light changes
from amber to green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.

Operating the HomeLink System

Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device.

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. After 20 seconds, the indicator light

flashes in amber. After the indicator
light flashes, release the HomeLink
button.

3. Go back to Step 2 of Programming the

HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.

NOTE

If the programming has not been
completed, the system returns to the
previous programming.

Erasing Programmed HomeLink
Buttons

NOTE



All of the programmed HomeLink
buttons are reset. Individual buttons
cannot be reset, however, individual
buttons can be reprogrammed. For
individual button reprogramming, refer
to Reprogramming the HomeLink
System (page 4-60).



Verify that the programming has been
erased if you resell the vehicle.
