Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Compass/Temperature Module
The compass/temperature module is located in overhead console. This dual-function display provides a digital readout of ambient (outside) temperature and 8 primary compass readings to indicate the direction in which vehicle is facing.
The compass/temperature module is self-calibrated and requires no adjustment. The word CAL will be displayed to indicate that the compass is in the fast calibrating mode. The CAL display may be turned off after the vehicle has completed 3 circles without stopping, in an area free of magnetic disturbance.
If the module displays ambient temperature while the compass display is blank, the vehicle must be demagnetized. If compass display still goes blank after the vehicle is demagnetized, the compass/temperature module must be replaced.
