Reprogram garage door opener

[ChriSS]

Hey guys I just moved in to a new place and it has a garage door . Can you all tell me how to reprogram the buttons for the garage door on the car after they have already been set. I hade them set for the gate to my last apartment so now when I hold the button on the car down to have it learn the new frequency it doesn't want to go in to " learn mode " lol thanks

I'm still trying to program my garage door opener in the car. I hope someone chimes in here......

Have you read your owners manual? Not trying to sound like a smart ass, just suggesting. I recently "learned" mine for the first time and have not tried to "relearn" it to a new one. Perhaps your garage door opener motor has a reset button on it? I remember reading something in the owners manual about having to utilize the reset button on the motor if it fails to go into learn mode. hope this helps!

This is out of the 2010 owners manual. It may help. Or not. It's in section 4.

Programming the Universal
Home Remote System

For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-800-355-3515
or go to www.homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions,
so read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device
will time out and the procedure will
have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:

1. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 inches) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator
light in view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied by
the manufacturer of your
garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit).

2. At the same time, press and hold
both the hand-held transmitter
button and one of the three
Universal Home Remote buttons
to be used to operate the
garage door. Do not release
the Universal Home Remote
button or the hand-held
transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from
a slow to a rapidly flashing
light. You now may release
both buttons.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require
substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this

section.

3. Press and hold for five seconds
the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button (selected
button from Step 2) while
observing the indicator light
and garage door activation.

•

If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage
door starts to move when
the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed
and released, then the
programming is complete.
There is no need to continue
programming Steps 4
through 6.

•

If the Universal Home Remote
indicator light blinks rapidly
for two seconds, then turns to
a constant light and the garage
door does not move, continue
with the programming Steps 4
through 6.
It may be helpful to have
another person to assist
with the remaining Steps 4
through 6.

4. After Steps 1 through 3 have
been completed, locate inside
the garage the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). Locate the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and
color of the button may vary
by manufacturer.

5. Firmly press and release the
“Learn” or “Smart” button.
After you press this button,
you will have 30 seconds
to complete Step 6.

6. Immediately return to the vehicle.
Firmly press and hold for
two seconds the Universal Home
Remote button, selected in
Step 2 to control the garage door,
and then release it. If the garage
door does not move or the garage
door lamp does not flash, press
and hold the same button a
second time for two seconds, and
then release it. Again, if the door
does not move or the garage door
lamp does not flash, press and
hold the same button a third time
for two seconds, and then
release.

The Universal Home Remote should
now activate the garage door.
To program the remaining
two Universal Home Remote
buttons, begin with Step 1 of
“Programming the Universal

Home Remote System”.

Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons

All programmed buttons should be
erased when the vehicle is sold
or the lease ends.
To erase all programmed buttons on
the Universal Home Remote device:
1. Press and hold down the
two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to
flash, after 10 seconds.

2. Release both buttons.

Reprogramming a Single
Universal Home Remote
Button

To reprogram any of the three
Universal Home Remote buttons:
1. Press and hold the desired
Universal Home Remote button.
Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to
flash after 20 seconds. Without
releasing the button, proceed
with Step 1 of the section
“Programming Universal Home
Remote”.

I have the information from the owner's manual listed here:

To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons while keeping the
indicator light in view. The hand-held transmitter was supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit).

Some entry gates and garage door openers may require substitution of Step 2 with the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” later in this section.

3. Press and hold for five seconds the newly trained Universal Remote system button (the button selected in Step 2) while observing the indicator light and garage door activation. If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door starts to move when the Universal Remote system button is pressed and released, then the programming is complete. There is no need to continue programming Steps 4 through 6. If the Universal Remote system indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, then turns to a constant light and the garage door does not move, continue with programming Steps 4 through 6. It may be helpful to have another person assist with the remaining Steps 4 through 6. “Learn” or “Smart” Button

4. After Steps 1 through 3 have been completed, locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button inside the garage on the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.

5. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. After pressing this button, you will have 30 seconds to complete Step 6.

6. Immediately return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold for two seconds the Universal Remote system button, selected in Step 2 to control the garage door, and then release it. If the garage door does not move or the lamp on the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) does not flash, press and hold the same button a second time for two seconds, and then release it. Again, if the door does not move or the garage door lamp does not flash, press and hold the same button a third time for two seconds, and then release. The Universal Remote system should now activate the garage door. To program the remaining two Universal Remote system buttons, begin with Step 1 of “Programming the Universal Remote System.”

I hope this helps some.
