  1. Ignition ON, valet switch OFF, if equipped. Press each button of the GDO one at a time. The LED on the GDO should illuminate with each button pressed.
    • If none of the buttons respond, test the battery positive voltage circuit and the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the GDO.

    • If the tester indicates that one or more of the buttons does not respond, replace the GDO.
  3. Program the GDO with the customers remote. A possible rolling code or incompatibility with the GDO receiver will prevent programming. Refer to Homelink at 1-800-355-3515.
