Chamberlain and LiftMaster garage door opener diagnostic code 5-5: meaning and exact next steps

diagnostic code 5-5 (5 UP, 5 DOWN) means A remote light is required for unattended operation. This code applies to the LiftMaster and Chamberlain wall-mounted jackshaft openers 8500W / RJO70, 98022 / RJO101 and 98032. As a safety precaution, the opener will not move the door in response to an unattended command without a paired myQ-compatible remote light. myQ cannot operate the door, scheduled closes and smart-home automations do not run, and Timer-to-Close will not close the door, while the wall control and remotes still work. This answer applies only to Chamberlain and LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 (yellow round LEARN button) and Security+ 3.0 (white round LEARN button) garage door openers whose UP and DOWN adjustment arrows flash a code, counted as the number of UP flashes and then the number of DOWN flashes. The Chamberlain Group says both use the same codes and steps. Openers without arrows use flash counts on the LED next to the LEARN button, which have their own pages.

    The Chamberlain Group's steps: install and plug in the myQ-compatible light; if the opener's memory was cleared, program the remote light to the opener again; if you will not use a remote light, turn off schedules and automations in the myQ app. The remote light is paired to the opener during manufacturing, and the code may appear during installation if the opener does not detect the included light.
