Reprogramming Basic HOMELINK® Transceiver Codes (Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Equipped Vehicles)
To program a device to the HomeLink® transceiver using a button previously trained, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the desired HomeLink® transceiver button. DO NOT release the button. The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRANSMIT" for 20 seconds and then change to "CHANNEL X TRAINING". Without releasing the HomeLink® transceiver button, proceed to step 2.
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink® transceiver button while keeping the EVIC display in view.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® transceiver button that you want to train and the hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING", once the HomeLink® transceiver is programmed the EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINED". X refers to the desired channel being trained (1, 2 or 3).NOTE:
Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Reprogramming Step 3. Refer to CANADIAN PROGRAMMING/GATE PROGRAMMING .
- Once "CHANNEL X TRAINED" is displayed on the EVIC, release both buttons. Programming is now complete. When the HomeLink® transceiver button is subsequently pressed, "CHANNEL X TRANSMIT" is displayed on the EVIC and your device should be activated, (garage door should open).NOTE:
If the EVIC display shows "CHANNEL X TRANSMIT" (where X is channel 1, 2 or 3) but your device does not activate, the device may be equipped with a "rolling code" system. Continue with the following steps 5 through 7 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance of a second person may make the following programming steps quicker and easier.
- 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.
- Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)NOTE:
There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 7.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release
the reprogrammed HomeLink® transceiver button. 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 reprogramming.
The HomeLink® transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
