Scheme 1: Universal Transmitter

The HomeLink(R) universal transmitter provides a convenient way to substitute up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. The universal transmitter

  1. will operate garage doors, gates and home/office lighting and security systems.
  2. will actually learn and transmit the radio frequency of up to three hand-held transmitters from any of the systems mentioned above.
  3. is an integral part of the overhead console and is powered by the vehicle battery and charging system.

Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for schematic and connector information.

Scheme 2: Inspection and Verification
  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage.
  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the fault is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to «SYMPTOM CHART»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/accessories-control-systems/#universal-transmitter-remote-convenience-system) .

Programming

WARNINGA garage door opening system that cannot stop or reverse itself after detecting an object in its path does not meet current federal safety standards. To decrease the risk of serious injury or death, do not use this HomeLink(R) transmitter with a door opening system that lacks stop and reverse features as required by federal standards. This includes any garage door opening system manufactured before April 1, 1982. For more information, call HomeLink(R) customer assistance at 1-800-355-3515.

Scheme 5

Scheme 5
  1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
  2. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all three channels by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
  3. Select one of the three universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired button.
  4. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red light can still be seen.
  5. Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter. Do not release either button.
  6. Hold down both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
  7. To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red light is on while the signal is being transmitted.

Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"

  1. Program the hand-held transmitter to the universal transmitter. For additional information, refer to «PROGRAMMING»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/accessories-control-systems/#universal-transmitter-remote-convenience-system__programming) .
  2. Train the garage door opener receiver to recognize the universal transmitter. Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener receiver. Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver. Location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener manufacturer. Refer to the garage door opener instruction manual or call HomeLink(R) customer assistance at 1-800-355-3515. Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds. Press the programmed universal transmitter button for as long as the universal transmitter red light flashes (1-2 seconds). Release the button and re-press the button to confirm that the universal transmitter is trained to the receiver. The garage door opener should recognize the universal transmitter.

Erasing Channels

  1. To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
