HOMELINK Remote Control System: Test

NOTE:
  • Explain to the client that garage door remote transmitters come in two types: fixed code and rolling code. Each type has its own programming method, and each method is covered in the owner's manual. If the client has concerns about the HomeLink unit, have the client contact the HomeLink assistance desk at 800-355-3515.
  • If the HomeLink will not open the client's garage, do the following procedures:
  1. Press any of the buttons on the HomeLink unit.
    • If the red indicator comes on, go to step 4.
    • If the red indicator does not come on, go to step 2.
  2. Remove roof console (see ROOF CONSOLE REPLACEMENT ).
  3. Measure the voltage between terminals No. 28 (+) and No. 12 (-) of the roof console 28P connector. There should be battery voltage.
    • If the voltage is not as specified, check for these problems:
      • A blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • A faulty driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • An open in the wire.
      • Poor ground (G601).
    • If the voltage is specified, go to step 4.

  4. Make sure the Genie remote transmitter (test remote) has fresh batteries.
  5. Clear any previously learned codes by pressing and holding the two outside buttons (A) on the HomeLink unit (B) for about 20 seconds. When the red indicator (C) on the unit starts blinking, release the buttons.

  7. Press and hold the button on the test remote transmitter (C) and one of the buttons (D) on the HomeLink unit at the same time.
  8. Wait about 20 seconds while watching the red indicator (E) on the HomeLink unit.
    • If the red indicator starts out blinking slowly and then blinks faster, the unit is OK. Release the buttons, then clear the learned code (see step  1). On the internet, go to www. homelink. com.
    • If the red indicator does not blink, replace the HomeLink unit (see HOMELINK UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
