Auto door locks not working
I've a 2007 Accord EX-L and the auto door locks don't work. I can lock and unlock the doors with the button on the door and with the remote. I'd like to be able to program the doors to lock when I reach 9MPH and to unlock when I shift into park. I've followed the instructions that usually include holding down the button for 10 seconds and hearing the clicks. However I don't hear the clicks and the programming doesn't get set.
I'm also having trouble programming the HomeLink garage door opener but perhaps that is a separate problem.
Thanks much
Paksen

Got a service customer complaining he or she can’t program HomeLink to work with a garage door or
security gate opener? Before you go start troubleshooting HomeLink, here are some things to consider:

Is your customer using the original remote transmitter that came with the opener? HomeLink
can be programmed only with the original remote transmitters. And for quick and accurate
programming, the remote transmitter should have a fresh battery. If your customer is using an

• Was the garage door opener made before April ’82? These openers don’t have the safety feature

injury. It may not be possible to program HomeLink to work with it.

not sure what instructions you're using for the locking option you want, but i'm finding no info related to that either in the service manual or owners manual...if it is an option, it probably needs to be programmed at the dealer via the HDS system.

I don't believe the 2007 Accord had the programming option for auto door locking and unlocking.
The 8th generation Accords (2008-2012) does have that option that the owner can self program, it is in the owner's manual. However, it is not done with the remote transmitter.
Homelink is separate and I will see if I can find the instructions for that.

Here's Homelink instructions and for rolling code systems.
The instructions say for the EX-V6. If yours is an aftermarket, then that is a different story.

Thanks for the HomeLink instructions. Roaming codes did the trick.
The auto door lock instructions I got off the Honda Owners site. I just figured they wouldn't show them to me if they weren't applicable.
thanks so much for your help
