Programming Common HomeLink® Transceiver Codes (Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Equipped Models)
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink® transceiver buttons, the EVIC will display CLEARING CHANNEL, do not release the buttons until CHANNELS CLEARED is displayed on the EVIC (after approximately 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink® transceiver buttons. The HomeLink® transceiver is now in the train (or learning) mode
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink® transceiver buttons 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 button. 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 Programming (Step 3) with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian Programming" service information.
- 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:
To program the remaining two buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
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 five through seven 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 8.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release
the programmed 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 programming.
The HomeLink® transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink® transceiver buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
