Clearing the Mckinney Overhead & Garage Doors opener in your car involves erasing the stored codes that allow the opener to communicate with your garage door. This might be necessary if you’ve recently moved, had a change of ownership, or if you want to reset the system for security reasons. Clearing the opener in your car prevents unauthorized access to your garage. The process varies based on the type of garage door opener system you have.

Below are instructions for the three most common types: HomeLink, Car2U, and a General Procedure for other systems.

1. Clearing HomeLink Garage Door Opener:

HomeLink is a widely used system found in many vehicles. Here’s how to clear it:

1.1. Clear Individual Buttons:

  1. Sit in your car and turn the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine.
  2. Press and hold the button you want to clear on your HomeLink system (usually located on your rearview mirror or sun visor). Hold it until the indicator light starts flashing rapidly.

1.2. Clear All Buttons:

  1. Sit in your car and turn the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine.
  2. Simultaneously press and hold the first and third buttons on the HomeLink system until the indicator light starts flashing rapidly.

1.3. Reprogramming:

After clearing the buttons, you’ll need to reprogram the HomeLink system to work with your garage door opener. Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or the garage door opener’s manual for specific reprogramming instructions.

2. Clearing Car2U Garage Door Opener:

Car2U is another common system found in various vehicle brands. To clear the codes:

2.1. Clear Individual Buttons:

  1. Sit in your car and turn the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine.

3. General Procedure for Other Systems:

If your car uses a garage door opener system that isn’t HomeLink or Car2U, follow this general procedure:

  1. Park your car outside the garage.
  2. Locate the buttons you want to clear (usually located on the overhead console or sun visor).
  3. Sit in your car and turn the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine.
  4. Press and hold the button you want to clear until the indicator light starts flashing or turns off.
  5. Release the button.
  6. Repeat the process for any other buttons you want to clear.
  7. After clearing the buttons, consult your vehicle’s manual or the garage door opener’s manual for reprogramming instructions.

4. Resetting the Garage Door Opener:

Once you’ve cleared the buttons in your car, you’ll need to reset your garage door opener to erase its stored codes. The process varies based on the brand and model of your garage door opener. Generally, you’ll need to access the opener’s main unit and locate the “Learn” or “Program” button. Press and hold this button until the indicator light starts flashing, then release it. Follow the reprogramming instructions provided by the garage door opener’s manual to establish a new connection with your car.

5. Important Notes:

  • Clearing your garage door opener is a security measure, but it also erases the convenience of opening the door from your car. Make sure you’re comfortable with reprogramming the opener before proceeding.
  • If you’re unsure about the process or encounter any issues, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual and the garage door opener’s manual or contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for assistance.

Remember that procedures and terminology might vary slightly depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the type of Mckinney Overhead & Garage Doors opener system you have. Always consult your vehicle’s manual and the garage door opener’s manual for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
