Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)

1999 Jeep Cherokee 4WD L4-2.5L VIN PSECTION Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
The Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is in the overhead console. It displays the following information:
- Compass direction
- Current outside temperature
- Elapsed Time (ET)
- Distance To Empty (DTE)
- Average Fuel Economy (AVE ECO)
- Instantaneous Fuel Economy (ECO)
- Trip Odometer (ODO)

All of the information required by the CMTC except the ambient temperature and compass direction is transmitted over the CCD bus.

The CMTC can perform an independent self-test. This can be accomplished by using either the DRB or pressing both US/M and STEP buttons and then turning the ignition key ON. All segments of the CMTC should light while the CMTC checks its internal function. If there are internal failures, the CMTC will display "FAIL." If there is a problem with the CCD communication, the CMTC will display "CCD."
