Haven't had a chance to get dealer to take a look. I notice that on a -20C, it takes about 5 min. to actually feel the warm air coming out (with recirc and medium fan). Not sure if that's normal, but in my old Acura EL, it took a min or two to heat up...

Homelink problem by 1sttimevolvo1
Jan 28, 2005 (3:21 pm)

I searched the forum prior to asking this, and didn't find post relating to it.
  
My inlaws own a 2001 Highlander V6 AWD. They've been extremely pleased with it and have really put it to good use. 1 trip up to Nova Scotia and throughout the NE of Canada, 1 trip through 10 states out west, and another trip to Canada planned this year.
  
My question is about the Homelink unit. About 4 months ago, the unit would lose it's memory setting for their garage after about a week or so, yet the link stored for our garage is retained.
  
I tried storing their garage in the 1 and the 3 slot, but end up with the same result - after about a week, Homelink loses the signal. Ours, however, still remains stored in slot 2.
I suggested he take it to the dealer, but he fears it'll cost more than he wants to spend, so he uses the unit that came with the opener.
  
Anyone experience this, and if so, how was it rectified?
  
Thanks.

Slip Detection by starrider

Howdy all Highlander owners,
 
It has been a while since I posted anything here so bear with me. My wife has a 2004 Highlander V6 4WD Automatic. We have had really good luck with the vehicle until today, as she was leaving Walmart she noticed that the slip detection light started flashing, then it started beeping then then the brakes came on and well she freaked.
 
I took the thang for a test drive and was unable to go above 25 mph. The antilock brakes kept kicking in and the dash kept beeping and flashing and it was shakin and I freaked.
 
I called the local dealership and they are towing in to have a look at it. It would appear that the computer thinks the tires are slipping and it is trying to correct the for it. I tried to go above 25 and with my foot still on the gas it literally brought the car to a stop.
 
It only has 11000 on it and any problems should be covered, I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this problem.
 
So uh has anyone else had this problem?
 
Thank you
 
Starrider

Not a current Homelink owner, but I do know from past experience that not all garage door security systems are programmed the same. Some use a "rolling code" system for additional security. This requires a slightly different set-up for the Homelink - see www.homelink.com/home/faq.tml

If it is not a rolling code type, it must be a fairly old opener as the rolling code has been the standard for many years. The opener still has to "learn" from the Homelink so I would certainly check the opener itself before assuming the Homelink is responsible. I have had several cars with the homelink system and four different GDOs and all have worked flawlessly after initial setup.

Seems as though you've proved that the Homelink memory is fine - it would be hard to believe that it would "lose" the memory selectively. The other remotes for their opener are being operated in between the times you use your Homelink. That's a clue right there. I'd re-do the Homelink set-up again. Maybe even try the rolling-code set-up. By the way, how would one know if one's GDO is a rolling-code type, anyway?

It definitely is not the "rolling code" type opener. The house was built in 1996 and the opener is identical to the one we have in our house.
Their's has worked "flawlessly from the setup four years ago. They began having trouble with it about 4 months ago.
Additionally, we have the Homelink on our Volvo. We have their garage code stored in the "2" button, and we have yet to lose the code.
This reinforces in my mind that the problem is with their Homelink transmitter, not the GDO.

I believe it's indicated in the Operations manual of the GDO (at least it was in theirs and ours).
