Toyota Highlander Homelink Programming So, I thought this was going to be the solution to my problem but it did not work!!!I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander and just installed a new Chamberlain belt drive garage door opener. Needless to say, the installer could not get the Homelink programmed. His response was to take the car to the Toyota dealer. Before doing that, I contacted HomeLink (on the phone with them for 2-1/2 hours with no success. Their response was to take the car back to the dealer and explain the problem. I did that and after 3 hours at the dealer they convinced me (by programming another remote to my Homelink) that there was no problem with my HomeLink. I then called Chamberlain back and got the following answer: "Although my model car is listed on the Homelink site as compatible with the model of GDO I purchased, there is no guarantee that the car manufacturer installed the proper version of HomeLink in my specific car.

The GDO is a "Security+2.0" version which ONLY works with HomeLink version 4 or above. The 2012 Toyota Highlander is listed as having version 4 of HomeLink but some manufacturers are using up old inventory and still installing version 3 HLs!!! I have now asked the dealer to research whether or not my specific car has HL version 4 installed and if not, to replace mine with a version 4 of HL. I'll let you all know if I ever hear back from them. All,I finally got my Highlander to work by following the directions from another forum. /forum/122-2nd-generation-2008/362812-2011-highlander- -homelink-programming.htmleven if you have a rolling code system, you have to program the remote controller AND press learn on the garage door system. Here's a copy of his post below:Today, I was working on remote controllers for doors on an out building, and got all the doors "confused"- I was too! After many attempts, I think I have the Theory of Operation down.First, hold down Buttons 1 & 3 in the Highlander.

(This is all in the owners manual, but I didn't think this step was necessary since I had the Rolling Code System!)

Step 2 - Installer choice Step 3 - Installing a garage door Step 4 - Door maintenance My garage door opens by itself. What could be the cause of this and what is the solution? Is this an actual problem? Yes, it’s possible, although rare, for your garage door to open by itself. There are a few unusual factors that can cause your door open by itself. Here are a few scenarios we've come across:Residential electric garage door openers manufactured after 1993 are equipped with two safety mechanisms that operate while the door is closing. The first is photoelectric and the second is mechanical. The most common scenario is a misalignment of the photoelectric reversal system. When the two sensor housings are out of alignment, the beam is cut off, which the door opener interprets as an object in the way of the door’s descent. As a result, it automatically reopens the door. Realigning the beams will resolve the problem. To make sure that it has been corrected, check the wall panel near the entrance to your home.

The indicator light should have stopped blinking.Another common scenario: during the winter, the threshold of your garage door must be kept clean to avoid any accumulation of snow or ice. Otherwise, the door’s mechanical mechanism will butt up against this buildup, and depending on how sensitive it is, may reverse the door.Also, a power surge caused by a lightning storm, for example, may have damaged the electrical circuits of your door opener.There’s one last scenario that applies to door openers manufactured before 1993. Before this time, remotes were programmed by positioning clips. By sheer chance, one of your neighbors may have a remote programmed with the same code. After 1993, LiftMaster started using a rotating code with millions of possible programming combinations. According to a persistent urban legend, a plane passing over your home can cause your garage door to open. To correct many people’s misimpression, we should point out that it all depends on the frequency used by the door opener.

The frequency used in older garage door openers could interfere with certain military planes. This problem was corrected starting in 1993 by employing a different transmission frequency. A couple of possible solutions: Before leaving home, wait a few seconds to ensure visually that the door is completely closed and that none of the security mechanisms have triggered it to reopen. Another solution: if you want to be sure that your garage door is completely closed, there is a garage door monitor (829 LM) that you can install in your home (e.g. in your bedroom) that will indicate whether the door is completely closed or not. The permanent solution: use of LiftMaster’s MyQ™ technology. For your peace of mind, we recommend MyQ™ technology, which will allow you to:Open and close your garage door from your smartphone, tablet or computerReceive an email when your garage door is openedProgram the door to close automatically 60 seconds after it is opened In order to benefit from this technology, you need to have a door opener model that offers built-in MyQ™ technology.
