19/97-4 GROUP 82 - MODEL 140, INTRODUCTION OF ROLLING
CODE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER: As of vin # A367861 with production
date of 03/27/97, all Model 140 vehicles are now equipped with a garage
door transmitter which is capable of functioning with rolling code garage
door openers. The new style transmitter can be identified by amber
LED's as opposed to red LED's on the previous version. The
programming procedure has also changed, and is listed below. A
Service Information on this topic is being prepared and will be released
shortly. PROGRAMMING THE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER: 1) Prepare
for programming by erasing all three factory defaults by holding down
the two outside buttons until the light begins to flash (20-30 seconds).
Release both buttons. 2) Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
against the universal transmitter keeping the light on the Universal
Transmitter in view. 3) Using both hands, push the hand-held transmitter
button and the desired button to be programmed on the universal
transmitter. Hold down both buttons until the light on the universal
transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. When the light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing light indicates
successful programming.) 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to program the
remaining channels (if necessary).
If after repeated attempts, you are unable to successfully program the
transmitter, the garage door opener may be equipped with "rolling code"
security. This can be established by either of the following: a) The
hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transmitter, but
thereafter the vehicle's universal transmitter does not activate the garage
door. OR b) The garage door opener was manufactured after 1995. To
train a garage door opener receiver with the rolling code feature, follow
these steps (the aid of a second person is suggested): 1) Locate the
training button on the garage door opener receiver (this is the opener unit
itself). Location and color of the button varies by manufacturer.
Reference the garage door opener manual or call 1-800-355-3515. 2)
Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver until the
light next to the button begins to flash (1-2 seconds). 3) Press the
programmed universal transmitter button in the vehicle until the training
light on the garage door receiver turns solid (1-2 seconds). Release the
button on the universal transmitter, and then re-press which turns off the
training light. Confirm the operation of the garage door by pressing once
again
