Dakota 2WD V8-4.7L VIN J (2005)
Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
Universal Transmitter
The universal transmitter transceiver is integral to the overhead console (7). The only visible component of the universal transmitter are the three
transmitter push buttons (3). The buttons are marked with one, two or three dots, respectively, for identification of each channel.
Each of the three universal transmitter push buttons controls an independent radio transmitter channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to
transmit a different radio frequency signal for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting, security
systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote
operation. The universal transmitter is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as part of the Electronic Overhead Module (EOM). This unit includes the
push button switches for both the transmitter and compass mini trip computer, The Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) and the plastic module case.
The universal transmitter operates on a non-switched source of battery current so the unit will remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. It can learn and store three separate transmitter radio frequency codes to operate garage door openers, security gates and security lighting. The
overhead console display provides visual feedback to the driver, showing which transmitter button is pressed. The system will not send operating signals
if the vehicle theft security alarm is armed. This prevents a perpetrator from breaking into a vehicle parked outside a home and using the transmitter
system to enter the home.
