Programming HomeLink

Before You Begin

If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training.

To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20 seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHANNELS.”

Release the buttons when the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.”


It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.


2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLinkt buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the handheld transmitter away from the HomeLinkt.

3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”

Then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held transmitter buttons.

If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer, in rare cases. The garagedoor may open and close while you train.

NOTE: Some gate operators and garagedoor openers may require you to replace Step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section.


4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.”

If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAINING” repeat Step 3.

NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garagedoor does not operate with HomeLinkt and the garagedooropener was manufactured after 1995, the garagedooropener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.”

5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM

At the garagedooropener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button.
This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garagedooropener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and close the door).
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.

NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed.

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete.

If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the training.

If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
