How to program your car to a LiftMaster opener

This works for every LiftMaster opener with a coloured Learn button. It takes about a minute. You'll need a step ladder.

  1. Program the car first: hold your working remote 1 to 3 inches from the car's garage buttons, then press and hold the car button and the remote button together until the car's indicator light flashes quickly.
  2. Go to the opener and press and release the Learn button. You have 30 seconds.
  3. Back in the car, press and hold the garage button you programmed for 2 seconds, then let go. Repeat up to three times until the door moves.

Yellow Learn button and a car older than about 2012? The car may not support Security+ 2.0. A HomeLink compatibility bridge (LiftMaster 855LM) fixes it.

After programming: test the safety reverse. Put a piece of wood or a roll of paper towels flat under the door and close it. The door should touch it and go back up. If it doesn't, don't use the opener until it's fixed.
