Programming the GDO for Fixed Code Receivers

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Acadia, 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2011 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT:

If the programming procedure is unsuccessful, it may be necessary to perform the Erasing Channels procedure first.

This procedure will learn a fixed code garage door opener to the GDO transmitter. To determine if the customer has a fixed code garage door opener, remove the battery cover on the customer supplied transmitter. If a row of dip switches is present, the garage door opener is a fixed code version. The transmitter should have anywhere from 8 to 12 switches. The garage door opener receiver may also have a set of dip switches. If the number of switches on the receiver and the transmitter do not match, use the receiver switches to program the GDO. Each dip switch may have either two or three positions. The two position switch can either be ON or OFF. The three position switch can either be ON, NEUTRAL, or OFF.

Write down the positions of the dip switches. The positions of the switches will be entered from left to right into the GDO using the three buttons.
Press all three buttons on the GDO for three seconds and immediately release them. The LEDs should flash slowly, indicating that the GDO is in programming mode.
Enter the positions of the dip switches one at a time. If a position of a dip switch is on, press the left button on the GDO. If the position is neutral, press the middle button of the GDO. If the position is off, press the right button of the GDO. Enter all of the positions of the dip switches. The procedure must be completed in two and a half minutes.
After entering all of the switch positions, firmly press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on.
Press and hold the button that is to be learned; the LED above the button will begin to flash slowly. When the garage door moves, immediately release the button. The LED will flash rapidly until programming is complete.
Press the button used during the learn operation again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.

The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types of garage door openers. If the GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the garage door opener. Call 1-866-572-2728 to address compatibility concerns.
