COMPASS DIAGNOSTICS
To place the unit into the diagnostics mode, turn
the vehicle ignition off. Depress the Comp/Temp but-
ton while turning on the ignition/run switch. The
display will then show DO. There are three tests that
can be performed when in the diagnostics mode.
Press the U.S./Metric button to choose test desired
(Fig. 5).
Test 1 (d1) determines the magnetic field strength
at the compass. The compass displays compensation
numbers which, correspond to the current magnetic
field strength at the compass. The letter N is dis-
played in the compass portion of the display. While a
number which, corresponds to the magnetic field
strength in the North/South direction is displayed.
The temperature portion of the display or the letter
W is displayed in the compass portion of the display. A number which, corresponds to the magnetic field
strength in the East/West direction is displayed in
the temperature portion of the display. For proper
compass operation the numbers should be between 1
and 14. A number of 7 or 8 is ideal (no vehicle mag-
netism) while numbers approaching 1 or 14 show
that the vehicle is highly magnetic. If the numbers
show that the vehicle is highly magnetic, perform
the demagnetized procedure in this Group and retest
for magnetism at compass. Test 2 (d2) checks the electronic circuits of the
compass, temperature. If the test passes d2 will be
displayed, and if the test fails F2 will be displayed.
Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual for fur-
ther testing procedures. Test 3 (d3) performs a walking segment test which,
sequentially puts different directions and numbers on
the display. If any segment fails, replace the compass
module.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position si-
multaneously press the Comp/Temp button and the
US/Metric button. (2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons until the display
performs a walking segment test. This checks for
open or shorted segments. To repeat the test press
the Comp/Temp button. (4) Press the US/Metric button, all segments will
light for about 2 seconds. To repeat the test press the

sage Monitored Systems OK is displayed (Fig. 2).
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION SET PROCEDURE
The engine compartment node will continuously
and automatically recalibrate the compass under nor-
mal driving conditions. As long as the vehicle is
turning, the engine compartment node will record
new compass data. This new data will be used to
recalibrate the compass at a rate of at least once per
full (360 degree) turn of the vehicle. Automatic cali-
bration does not require operator interface.
MANUAL CALIBRATION SET PROCEDURE
Manual compass calibration has been replaced by
automatic calibration set procedure. The manual cal-
ibration set procedure is available, but no longer
serves any useful purpose.
EVIC SELF CHECK DIAGNOSTICS
