The garage door opener (GDO) is a transmitter operating between 288 and 399 MHz. The GDO has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations to control up to 3 GDOs, security gates, and lighting systems. Each button represents a transmitter code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be considered a separate transmitter. Battery voltage is provided to the GDO from the PCM fuse in the underhood fuse block.

⇒ | If none of the buttons respond, test the battery positive voltage circuit and the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the GDO. |
⇒ | If the tester indicates that one or more of the buttons does not respond, replace the GDO. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

In circuit/system testing, in step 4, the two outer buttons of the transmitter are pressed and held in order to enter the diagnostic mode so that the transmitter can be used with the GDO tester. The transmitter will complete the following during the process:
⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the tester indicates that one or more of the buttons does not respond, replace the GDO. |
