Garage Door Opener Programming - Universal

Important: Do not use the garage door opener (GDO) with any garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door you are programming.

The GDO is programmed by using the customer's hand-held transmitter(s).

Turn the ignition OFF while programming the GDO transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to
3 channels:

1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the 2 outside buttons on the GDO transmitter for approximately 20 seconds, until the light on
the GDO transmitter begins to flash rapidly. Then release the buttons. This procedure erases
any previous settings and initializes the memory for all 3 channels.
2. Decide which of the 3 channels you want to program to the transmitter you have.
3. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the front surface of the GDO (less than
1 inch) so you can still see the light.
4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the GDO
transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons through Step 5.

Important: The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters.
If the GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict
with the transmitter used to program the GDO. Call 1-800-355-3515 in order to address this
problem.

5. Hold down the buttons on both transmitters until you see the light on the GDO transmitter
flash slowly and then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to 90 seconds, indicates
that the GDO transmitter has been programmed. Release the buttons on both transmitters
when the light starts to flash rapidly.

Training the GDO for Rolling Code Receivers

This procedure is for training the customer's rolling code garage door openers to their GDO
transmitter. The GDO must already be programmed to its hand-held transmitter. The training
process below must be completed within 30 seconds or it must be repeated.

1. Locate the train button on the garage door opener receiver. Refer to the operator's manual
for the garage door opener (or call 1-800-355-3515 for assistance). Follow instructions for
the garage door opener in order to determine when the unit is in train mode.
2. Return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle, and press the button that you want trained for
rolling codes 3 times, for 1 second each time. If not successfully programmed, try 2-
5 seconds each time.
3. Press the button used again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been
programmed.

You may use either the hand-held transmitter or the GDO to open the garage door.

The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters. If the GDO light
does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the transmitter
used to program the GDO. Call 1-800-355-3515 in order to address compatibility concerns.

Erasing Channels

To erase programmed channels, hold down the 2 outside buttons until the light on the GDO
transmitter begins to flash. Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using
the Garage Door Opener Programming and the Training GDO for Rolling Code Receivers
procedures.

Transmitter Programming
Next Available Slot

Note:
• On some vehicles, keyless entry transmitters may also be programmed using the driver
information center (DIC). Refer to the vehicle owners manual for information.
• All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
must be programmed in a single programming sequence. Once the Invalidate All Fobs
selection is made, all learned transmitters are erased. If all the existing transmitters
associated with the vehicle are not learned at this time, they will become inoperative and
require additional programming.
• Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the
keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the
incorrect vehicle.
• The keyless entry transmitter used in the Advance 2 Way Remote Start System is unique to
the system. When servicing or replacing a transmitter, ensure that the correct transmitter is
used. The correct transmitter part number can be found in the Accessory section of the parts
catalog. Attempting to replace an Advance 2 Way Remote Start transmitter with a regular
service part may result in a failure to program the transmitter.

This procedure will program keyless entry transmitters in sequential order. If two transmitters are
currently learned to the vehicle as transmitters 1 and 2, using this procedure will learn the next
transmitter are transmitter 3, and so on.

1. With a scan tool, access the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Module Setup menu. Select
Program Key Fobs.
2. Select Next Available Slot. The vehicle chime will sound two times to indicate programming
mode has been entered. Follow the on-screen instructions. After each transmitter has been
programmed, the vehicle chime will sound to confirm the programming.
3. When all the desired transmitters have been programmed, cycle the ignition from ON to OFF,
exit the vehicle, and operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system
operation.

Invalidate All Fobs

Note:
• On some vehicles, keyless entry transmitters may also be programmed using the driver
information center (DIC). Refer to the vehicle owners manual for information.
• All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
must be programmed in a single programming sequence. Once the Invalidate All Fobs

the system. When servicing or replacing a transmitter, ensure that the correct transmitter is
used. The correct transmitter part number can be found in the Accessory section of the parts
catalog. Attempting to replace an Advance 2 Way Remote Start transmitter with a regular
service part may result in a failure to program the transmitter.

This procedure will first erase all known keyless entry transmitters. After all transmitters are
erased, the procedure will begin to program keyless entry transmitters in sequential order,
beginning with transmitter 1.

1. With a scan tool, access the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Module Setup menu. Select
Program Key Fobs.
2. Select Invalidate All Fobs. This will erase all learned transmitters and prepare the RCDLR to
learn new transmitters. Follow the on-screen instructions. After each transmitter has been
programmed, the vehicle chime will sound to confirm the programming.
3. When all the desired transmitters have been programmed, cycle the ignition from ON to OFF,
exit the vehicle, and operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system
operation.

Transmitter Slot Programming

Note: The keyless entry transmitter used in the Advance 2 Way Remote Start System is unique to
the system. When servicing or replacing a transmitter, ensure that the correct transmitter is used.
The correct transmitter part number can be found in the Accessory section of the parts catalog.
Attempting to replace an Advance 2 Way Remote Start transmitter with a regular service part may
result in a failure to program the transmitter.

Transmitter slot programming allows a single transmitter to be programmed into a specific slot
without affecting any of the other programmed transmitters. By using slot programming, the
transmitter originally programmed to a specific slot is erased and the new transmitter learned in its
placed.

1. Install a scan tool.

2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
3. With the scan tool, select Body.
4. Select Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR).
5. Select Module Setup.
6. Select Program Key Fobs.
7. Select the key fob desired to be programmed.
8. Follow the scan tool on screen instructions.
9. Remove the scan tool.
10. Exit the vehicle. Operate all functions on transmitters to verify correct system operation.
