Section 47 (Universal Transmitter): Description: Description
Some vehicles are equipped with the HomeLink® transceiver (1). The transceiver is located in the driver side sun visor assembly (2). The only visible component of the HomeLink® transceiver are the three push buttons. The buttons are marked with one, two or three dots, respectively, for identification of each channel.
Each of the three HomeLink® transceiver 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 280 to 418 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The transceiver is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology. The system will not transmit operating signals if the Vehicle Theft Security System is armed.
The HomeLink® transceiver cannot be repaired, and is available for service only with the visor assembly. If any part of the component is inoperative or damaged, the complete visor assembly must be replaced. Refer to VISOR, REMOVAL .
