Compass: Description and Operation





DESCRIPTION





The Remote Compass Module (RCM) (2) is a separate stand alone module mounted in the overhead console (1). The RCM can be accessed by removing the overhead console from the vehicle. Some vehicles are equipped with a Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) also known as a HomeLink(R) transceiver. Both the RCM and the HomeLink(R) transceiver are one in the same and sometimes referred to as the Electronic Overhead Module (EOM).





The only visible component of the HomeLink(R) transceiver are the three push buttons (4). The buttons are marked with one, two or three dash marks, respectively, for identification of each channel. For more information on the HomeLink(R) transceiver, Universal Transmitter - Description.

The RCM or the HomeLink(R) transceiver cannot be repaired. If ether the compass position sensor or the transceiver is inoperative and requires replacement, the EOM must be replaced as a complete assembly,Compass Module - Removal for the appropriate procedure.
