Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
On some RS models a Homelink transceiver is standard factory-installed equipment. The Homelink transceiver is integral to the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and the Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), which is located in the overhead console. The only visible
component of the Homelink are the three transmitter push buttons centered between the modules push buttons located just rearward of the display
screen in the overhead console. The three Homelink transmitter push buttons are identified with one, two or three light indicators so that they be
easily identified by sight or by feel.
Each of the three Homelink transmitter push buttons controls an independent radio transmitter channel. Each of these three channels can be trained
to transmit a different radio frequency signal for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting,
security systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range
for remote operation. The Homelink is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The electronics module displays messages and a small house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corresponding to the three transmitter buttons
to indicate the status of the Homelink. The EVIC messages are:
-
Cleared Channels - Indicates that all of the transmitter codes stored in the Homelink have been successfully cleared.
-
Training - Indicates that the Homelink is in its transmitter learning mode.
-
Trained - Indicates that the Homelink has successfully acquired a new transmitter code.
-
Transmit - Indicates that a trained Homelink transmitter button has been depressed and that the Homelink is transmitting.
The Homelink cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as a unit with the EVIC or CMTC modules. If any of these components is
faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC or CMTC module must be replaced.
The Homelink operates on a non-switched source of battery current so the unit will remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, programming procedures and operation of the Homelink, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
