Tesla Model Y: Troubleshooting HomeLink
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, Model Y records the RF signal from
your HomeLink device's remote control. The
touchscreen instructs you to stand in front of the
vehicle, point the device's remote control at the front
bumper, and press and hold the button until the headlights flash. When the
headlights flash, Model Y has
learned the remote control and you can touch Continue
on the touchscreen. If the headlights do not flash:
- Check the batteries in the remote control. It is a good
idea to replace the batteries before you start
programming.
- Ensure you are standing in front of Model Y with the
device's remote control positioned within two inches
(five cm) of the Tesla emblem.
- Press and hold the button on your device's remote
control until the headlights flash. In some cases you
must hold the button on the remote control for up to
three minutes.
NOTE: Some HomeLink remote controls require
multiple short presses (approximately one second
each press) instead of one long duration press. If you
are unsuccessful after multiple attempts of using long
presses, try repeated presses of one second each.
D-Mode and UR-Mode
In D Mode and UR-Mode, the device's receiver learns
Model Y. The touchscreen instructs you to press the
"Learn" button (may also be called "Program" or
"Smart") on the device's receiver. If this does not work,
refer to the following guidelines:
- Park Model Y with its bumper as close as possible to
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are trying to
program.
- Make sure you are pressing the receiver's Learn/
Program/Smart button. For instructions on how to
put the receiver into learning mode, refer to the
product details provided with your RF device that
you are trying to program.
- If you see a screen called "Train the receiver" while
programming the device, remember that this is a
time-sensitive step. After pressing the Learn/
Program/Smart button on the device's remote
control or receiver, you only have approximately 30
seconds to return to your vehicle, press Continue,
then press the trained HomeLink device name twice.
Consider having someone assist you with this step.
- Most devices stay in learning mode for only three to
five minutes. Immediately after pressing the device's
Learn/Program/Smart button, follow the instructions
displayed on the vehicle's touchscreen.
