Compass Display

To display the vehicle direction, the compass mini-trip computer processes information from a sensor internal to the module. The compass mini-trip computer is self-calibrating and requires only variance adjustments dependent upon location. The compass mini-trip computer displays the label CAL whenever the compass is in the fast calibration mode.

If all three of the following conditions listed below occur, the vehicle must be demagnetized.

• Compass portion of the display is blank
• Temperature portion of the display is OK
• The label CAL is illuminated

If demagnetizing the vehicle is needed, refer to COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING  . After demagnetizing, to calibrate the compass refer to COMPASS CALIBRATION  procedure and to set the variance, refer to COMPASS VARIATION ADJUSTMENT  . If the compass portion of the display is still blank, replace the compass mini-trip computer.
