Dakota Digital 3 operation manual Right +, Brake

GEAR (1 wire)

The GEAR terminal is used for the gear shift indicator. The indicator is built into every system, but will not light up unless a Dakota Digital GSS-1000/2000/5000gear shift sending unit is connected, telling the system what gear the transmission is in. The gear shift sending unit is not included with the system and must be purchased separately if desired.

The GEAR terminal will connect to the FIRST terminal on a GSS-1000or to the 1-WIRE terminal on a GSS-2000or GSS-5000. Follow the instructions in the GSS manual for use with a single wire display system. When the gear shift sending unit is connected, the gear name will be shown on the tach message display.

NOTE: The system will automatically change to the gear display for a few seconds whenever the gear position changes, even if viewing a different message display.

4x4 (-)

The 4x4 terminal can be used on four wheel drive vehicles. The 4x4 input is activated by a ground signal from a switch on the transfer case. Connect a wire from this terminal to the switch on the transfer case. Whenever the 4x4 input is grounded the system will display “4W DRV” on the message display. When signal turns off, the system will briefly display “2W DRV” on the message display.

RIGHT (+)

The RIGHT terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the turn signal flasher. When this terminal has 12 volts, an arrow will light up to the right of the speedometer display. An existing wire from the vehicle for the right turn indicator can be used or a new wire can be connected from the turn signal flasher or power wire feeding the right turn signal bulb.

LEFT (+)

The LEFT terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the turn signal flasher. When this terminal has 12 volts, an arrow will light up to the left of the speedometer display. An existing wire from the vehicle for the left turn indicator can be used or a new wire can be connected from the turn signal flasher or power wire feeding the left turn signal bulb.

HIGH (+)

The HIGH terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the headlight high beam wire. When the terminal has 12 volts, an indicator will light up to the lower right of the speedometer display. An existing wire from the vehicle for the high beam indicator can be used or a new wire can be connected from the high beam side of the hi/low beam switch.

BRAKE (-)

The BRAKE terminal can be used as a brake system warning indicator. The BRAKE input is activated by a ground signal from the brake pressure switch on the master cylinder or from the parking brake set switch. Connect a wire from this terminal to the pressure switch on the master cylinder or consult a vehicle service manual to determine color and location of an existing wire. Whenever the BRAKE input is grounded, the system will display “BRAKE” on the message display. This message can be cleared by pressing and holding switch 2.
