Universal Transmitter
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If both the Universal Transmitter and the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) are inoperative, (Refer to ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) . If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the EVIC is operating normally, retrain the Transmitter with a known good transmitter (Refer to ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SETTING TRANSMITTER CODES) . If the unit is still inoperative, test the universal transmitter with the Radio Frequency Detector special tool as described below. See Fig 1:
- Turn the Radio Frequency (RF) Detector ON. A "chirp" will sound and the green power LED will light. If the green LED does not light, replace the battery.
- Hold the RF detector within one inch of the TRAINED universal transmitter and press any of the transmitters buttons.
- The red signal detection LEDs will light and the tool will beep if a radio signal is detected. Repeat this test three times.
