To program the garage door opener (HomeLink system) in a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, begin by turning the ignition to the "ON" position. The engine doesn't need to be running, but the key must be on. If this is your first time programming or you want to clear previous settings, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons on the visor until the indicator light blinks rapidly—this takes about 20 seconds. Once it does, release the buttons to reset the system.
Next, hold your garage door remote 1 to 3 inches away from the HomeLink buttons. Press and hold both the button on your remote and the HomeLink button you want to program. Keep holding until the HomeLink light changes from a slow blink to a rapid blink, which may take up to 30 seconds. When it starts blinking quickly, release both buttons. This indicates the button has been programmed.
If your garage door opener uses a rolling code system (most models after 1996 do), you’ll need to complete one more step. Go to the garage door opener motor unit, usually mounted on the ceiling of your garage, and press the “Learn” or “Smart” button. You’ll then have about 30 seconds to return to your vehicle. Back in the car, press the programmed HomeLink button three times, holding it for about two seconds each time, until the garage door operates.
Finally, test the button to make sure it works. If the garage door opens or closes when you press it, the programming was successful
