Programming A Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after
1995. These Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “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
manufacturer.
• Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The
Homelink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink® has
received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or
“TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor. Firmly press
and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE:You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the
LEARN button has been pressed.
• Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink® button
twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is
plugged in and activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two
seconds) to complete the training.
• To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for
each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The
Homelink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink® has
received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the
indicator light.
NOTE:
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the
garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLink® button is
pressed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for
each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button.
Activation will now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used
at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are
programming the universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver 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 transceiver. 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.

•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION,
THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the
malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
NOTE:Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C)
of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire
inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi
(7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
