Commander 4WD V8-4.7L (2008)
-
Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) button and observe the EVIC display. If the EVIC display shows "Channel X Transmit" (where X
is Channel 1, 2, or 3), programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink(R) button is pressed and released.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step two. Do not repeat step one.
NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transceiver, but your garage door does not operate using the
transmitter and your garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage door opener may have a multiple security code system
(rolling code system). Please proceed to steps 6-8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most common garage door
openers require this step.
-
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 eight.
-
Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink(R) 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.
-
HomeLink(R) should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for
HomeLink(R) to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same
manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live),
replace "Programming HomeLink(R)" step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device or move the vehicle out of range during
the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.
-
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink(R) button while you press and release every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until
the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink(R). The EVIC display will show "CHANNEL X TRAINED" (where X is
Channel 1, 2, or 3). Proceed with "Programming" step four to complete.
Erasing Transmitter Codes
ERASING TRANSMITTER CODES
NOTE: Individual channels cannot be erased. Erasing the transmitter codes will erase ALL programmed codes.
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be "reprogrammed" - note below), follow the step noted:
-
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) buttons and release only when the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display shows
"Channels Cleared" (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. HomeLink(R) is now in the train (or
learning) mode and can be programmed at any time, . See: Programming Transmitter Codes
