Universal Transmitter

The universal transmitter is an integral part of the LH sun visor and provides a convenient way to substitute up to 3 hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. The universal transmitter can learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters. The universal transmitter

1. operates garage doors, gates and home/office lighting and security systems.
2. learns and transmits the radio frequency of up to 3 hand-held transmitters from any of the systems mentioned above.
3. is powered by the vehicle battery and charging system.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Damaged universal transmitter Damaged receiver Wiring, terminals or connectors
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 cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom. Go to «Symptom Chart»(/ford/taurus-x/i-2007-2009/remont/accessories-control-systems/#remote-convenience) .

Pinpoint Test A: The Universal Transmitter is Inoperative

Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Interior Lamps for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The universal transmitter receives voltage on circuit CLN09 (YE/GN) and ground on circuit GD133 (BK).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

1. Wiring, terminals or connectors
2. Universal transmitter
3. Receiver unit

Scheme 1

Scheme 2

1. A1 CHECK THE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER Check the illumination of the transmitter. Does the transmitter illuminate? YES : Go to A2 . NO : Go to A3 .
2. A2 PROGRAM A HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER INTO THE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER Program the universal transmitter. Refer to «Universal Transmitter Programming»(/ford/taurus-x/i-2007-2009/remont/accessories-control-systems/#remote-convenience__universal-transmitter-programming) . Does the universal transmitter program successfully? YES : The universal transmitter is OK. VERIFY the receiver operates correctly. NO : INSTALL a new LH sun visor assembly. TEST the system for normal operation.
3. A3 CHECK CIRCUIT CLN09 (YE/GN) FOR VOLTAGE Key in OFF position. Disconnect: LH Vanity Mirror Lamp C907 Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between the LH vanity mirror lamp C907-1, circuit CLN09 (YE/GN), harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? YES : Go to A4 . NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
4. A4 CHECK CIRCUIT GD133 (BK) FOR AN OPEN Key in OFF position. Measure the resistance between the LH vanity mirror lamp C907-2, circuit GD133 (BK), harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? YES : INSTALL a new LH sun visor assembly. TEST the system for normal operation. NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

Universal Transmitter Programming

Note. A new battery in the hand-held transmitter may allow quicker and easier training due to a more accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal.

1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
2. Turn the key to the ON position.
3. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
4. Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter buttons to be used for programming.
5. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-76 mm (1-3 in) away from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the universal transmitter red light can still be seen.
6. At the same time, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes first slowly, and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins.
7. Firmly press and hold for 5 seconds, then release the just-trained universal transmitter button up to 2 separate times to activate the door. If after 2 separate times, the door still does not activate, press and hold the just-trained universal transmitter button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the device should activate when the universal transmitter button is pressed and released. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a constant light, follow the Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes" procedure to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device.

Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"

1. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for 2 seconds and release the programmed universal transmitter button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.
