Press any of the buttons on the HomeLink unit.
- If the red indicator comes on, go to step 3.
- If the red indicator does not come on, go to step 2.
Measure the voltage between the No. 6(1)(+) and No. 5(3)(-) terminals of the roof console 10P (front individual map light 3P) connecter. There should be battery voltage.
- If the voltage is not as pecified, check for these problems:
  - A blown No. 11 (10 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
  - A faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
  - An open in the WHT/BLU wire between the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box and the roof console (map light).
  - An open in the BLK wire between the roof console (map light) and G901 (G501).
- If the voltage is as specified, go to step 3.

Fig 2: Pointing Test Remote Transmitter Straight Up Exactly 101.6 Mm (4.0 In.) Away From Homelink Unit

Press and hold the button on the test remote transmitter and one of the buttons (C) on the HomeLink unit at the same time.
Wait about 20 seconds while watching the red indicator (D) on the HomeLink unit.
- If the red indicator starts blinking slowly and then blink faster, the unit is OK. Release the buttons, then clear the learned code (see step 4).
