When the vehicle is standing still, engine compart-
ment temperature may be radiated to the tempera-
ture sensor. Therefore the most accurate ambient
temperature readings are displayed when the vehicle
is moving in a forward motion. When the ignition switch is turned off the last dis-
played temperature reading stays in memory. When
the ignition switch is turned on again the thermom-
eter will display the memory temperature for 1
minute; then update the display to the actual tem-
perature within 5 minutes. Refer to Compass and
Thermometer Diagnosis (Fig. 3).
COMPASS CALIBRATION
The compass unit automatically calibrates itself as
the vehicle is driven; therefore, no calibration should be
required. When the compass is first powered up, the
CAL light on the display should be on. The CAL light
will go off and the compass will be accurate after the
vehicle completes one to three complete circles.
Do not attempt to set the compass near large metal
objects, such as, other vehicles, large buildings, or
bridges. If the vehicle's compass headings are inaccurate,
the compass also can be manually calibrated using
the following procedures: (1) Depress and hold down both the Comp/Temp
button and the U.S./Metric button. (2) The display will go off and after 5 seconds the
VAR light will come on. Continue to hold both but-
tons down. (3) In approximately 10 seconds, the CAL light
will come on. Release both buttons and the display
will show the heading and outside temperature. (4) Release buttons the CAL light will then go off,
showing the compass is calibrated. (5) The variation may need to be adjusted. The
variation is the difference between magnetic north
and true north. To set variation refer the to Varia-
tion Setting Procedure. If the compass portion of the display is not lit or
compass readings are not accurate after calibration.
The vehicle may have too much magnetism for the
compass to be accurate or the compass circuitry is
not working properly. Refer to Variance Procedure,
Demagnetizing Procedure and/or Compass Diagnos-
tics.VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North
and geographic North. In some areas the difference
between magnetic and geographic north is great
enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If
this occurs, the variance must be set.
Fig. 2 Map Lamp Diagnosis
8C - 2 OVERHEAD CONSOLE Ä

VARIANCE SETTING PROCEDURE
There are two methods for setting variance while
in variance set mode. If the CAL symbol is on proce-
dure 2 must be used.
PROCEDURE 1
(1) Turn ignition switch to the on position.
(2) Press and hold the Comp/Temp button till the
display is turned OFF. (3) While continuing to hold Comp/Temp button
depress and hold US/Metric button until the VAR
symbol lights in approximately 5 seconds. (4) Release buttons.
(5) To determine the zone number which, corre-
sponds with your geographic area refer to Fig. 4.
(6) Press the US/Metric button until the zone num-
ber matches the display. (7) Press the Comp/Temp button to finish setting
of variation. (8) Variation is complete.
PROCEDURE 2 (1) Move away from any large metal objects like
buildings, or bridges. With the engine running and
the doors closed point vehicle true north. (2) Press and hold Comp/Temp button. The display
will go blank. (3) While continuing to hold Comp/Temp button
depress and hold the US/Metric button until the
VAR symbol lights in approximately 5 seconds. (4) Release buttons.
(5) Press the Comp/Temp button to finish setting
of variation. (6) Variation is complete.
DEMAGNETIZING PROCEDURE
Do not attach magnetic devices, such as magnetic
CB antennas to the vehicle roof, as they can cause
the compass to give false readings. Every vehicle has its own magnetic field. This
magnetic field is created by the various processes a
steel roof goes through when the vehicle is built. A
magnetic field also can be created if the roof is sub-
jected to A magnet, example:
² Magnetic c.b. antenna
² Magnetic tipped screwdriver and etc.
If the roof becomes magnetized use a demagnetiz-
ing Tool 6029 to demagnetize the roof. In this demagnetizing procedure you will use the
demagnetizing tool to demagnetize the roof and
mounting screws in the overhead console. It is impor-
tant that you follow the instructions below exactly.
The mounting screws and the mounting brackets
around the compass area are steel, and therefore aid
in the degaussing of the roof panel. (1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetizing procedure. (2) Open the sun glass compartment to gain access
to the overhead console mounting screws. (3) Plug the demagnetizing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet, keeping the demagnetizing
tool at least 12 inches away from the compass area
when plugging it in. (4) Slowly approach the console mounting screw
with the plastic coated tip of the tool for at least 2
seconds. (5) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the screw until the tip is at
least 12 inches from the screw head. (6) After you have pulled at least 12 inches from
the last screw, remove the demagnetizing tool from
inside of the vehicle and disconnect it from the elec-
trical outlet. (7) Place an 8 1/2 in. X 11 in. piece of paper
lengthwise on the roof of vehicle directly above com-
pass. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof
panel from scratches and define the area to be de-
magnetized.

COMPASS MODULE REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove overhead console.
(2) Using a small screwdriver, release the 2 snaps
at rear of compass module. (3) After releasing the 2 snaps, slide compass mod-
ule rearward until free of mounting bar. (4) For installation reverse above procedures.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Raise and support vehicle on safety stands.
(2) From behind front bumper fascia, remove screw
attaching sensor to front lower crossmember (Fig. 7). (3) For installation, reverse above procedures.
