Ford Focus Service Manual: Universal Transmitter - Description and Operation

On early build vehicles, the universal transmitter can be identified by the Homelink® symbol and one red indicator light.

On late build vehicles, the universal transmitter uses the Lear Car2U® System. It is identified by the lack of a symbol, but with 3 red indicator lights. Each of the 3 buttons has a red indicator light located behind the 3 buttons.

The universal transmitter is an integral part of the LH sun visor and provides a convenient way to substitute up to 3 hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. The universal transmitter can learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters. The universal transmitter:

• operates garage doors, gates and home/office lighting and security systems.
• learns and transmits the radio frequency of up to 3 hand-held transmitters from any of the systems mentioned above.
• is powered by the vehicle battery and charging system.
