Programming Common Universal Transmitter Codes

  1. Press and hold the two outer universal transmitter (also known as HomeLink® transmitter or Universal Garage Door Opener/UGDO) buttons, and release only when the red transmission indicator begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds). Do not  hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not  repeat Step 1 to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two universal transmitter buttons.
  2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3 to 8 centimeters (1 to 3 inches) away from the universal transmitter buttons while keeping the red transmission indicator within view.
    NOTE:

    Some gate operators and garage door openers may require that you replace Steps 3 and 4 with the Step noted in the CANADIAN PROGRAMMING OR GATE PROGRAMMING procedure, which follows this procedure.

  3. Simultaneously depress and hold both the universal transmitter button that you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release these buttons until Step 4 has been completed. 
  4. The universal transmitter red transmission indicator will transition from flashing slowly to flashing rapidly after the transmitter successfully acquires the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the transmission indicator begins flashing rapidly.
  5. Press and hold the universal transmitter button just programmed and observe the red transmission indicator. If the transmission indicator stays on solid  (not flashing), programming is complete. The newly programmed device should activate when this universal transmitter button is pressed and released.
    NOTE:

    If the red transmission indicator flashes rapidly for two seconds and then changes to solid, proceed to Steps  6 through  8 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device. Rolling code is most commonly found on garage door openers.

    NOTE:

    To program the remaining two universal transmitter buttons, begin with Step  2. Do not repeat Step 1.

  6. At the garage door opener receiver on the motor or head unit in the garage, locate the Learn  or Smart  button. This can usually be found near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor or head unit. The name and color of the button varies by manufacturer.
  7. Firmly press and release the Learn  or Smart  button.
    NOTE:

    You have about 30 seconds after completing Step 7 in which to initiate Step 8.

  8. Return to the vehicle and firmly depress, hold for two seconds then release the programmed universal transmitter button. Repeat the depress, hold, then release sequence a second time. Depending upon the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), it may be necessary to repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. The newly programmed rolling code equipped device should now activate when this universal transmitter button is pressed and released.
NOTE:

To program the remaining two universal transmitter buttons, begin with Step 2. Do not repeat Step 1.
