System DescriptionNBEL0153
SEL713U
This unit displays following items:
IEarth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
IOutside air temperature.
ICaution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYNBEL0153S01Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ªÉFº.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ªÉFº to ªÉCº.
IWhen the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
IWhen the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ª---º though it is operating. This is not a problem.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ªOFFº position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAYNBEL0153S02Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The direction will be displayed.

Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0048PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETERNBEL0048S02
1 COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition key switch to the ªACCº position.
2. Cool down the ambient air temperature sensor with water or ice, so that the indicated temperature falls.
Does the indicated temperature fall?
Ye s©GO TO 2.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
2 WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes, so that the indicated temperature rises.
2. With the ignition key in the ªACCº position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient air temperature sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Ye s©The system is OK.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
NOTE:
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF). When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the dis-
play shows only ª---º.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.

3. Compass and thermometer1. Check 10A fuse [No. 9, located in fuse block (J/B)].
Turn the ignition switch ON and verify that battery positive
voltage is at terminal 7 of compass and thermometer.
2. Check ground circuit for compass and thermometer.
3. Replace compass and thermometer.

remains unchanged.1. Vehicle speed sensor is not
entered.
2. Compass and thermometer1. Check harness for open or short between combination meter
terminal 13 and compass and thermometer terminal 1.
2. Replace compass and thermometer.

2. Check harness for open or short between ambient air tem-
perature sensor and compass and thermometer.
3. Check harness for open or short between combination meter
terminal 13 and compass and thermometer terminal 1.
4. Replace ambient air temperature sensor.
5. Replace compass and thermometer.

Calibration Procedure for Compass=NBEL0155The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
SEL738UA
SEL065V
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASSNBEL0155S01The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASSNBEL0155S021. Pushing the ªModeº switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed,
the initial correction may start automatically.
