DESCRIPTION

With the ignition switch in the ON position, and the mode or (N)

switch ON, the compass display will indicate the direction the vehicle

is heading.

Vehicle direction is displayed as follows:

• N: north

• E: east

• S: south

• W:  west

ZONE VARIATION SETTING PROCEDURE

The difference between magnetic north and geographical north can sometimes be great enough to cause

false compass readings. This difference is known as variance. In order for the compass to operate properly

(accurately) in a particular zone, the zone variation must be calibrated using the following procedure.

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >

COMPASS

1. Determine your location on the zone map.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the (N) switch for about 8 seconds (with HomeLink universal transceiver) or the mode

switch for about 11 seconds (without HomeLink universal transceiver). The current zone number will

appear in the display.

4. Press the mode or (N) switch repeatedly until the desired zone number appears in the display.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the mode or (N) switch and the display will show a

compass direction after a few seconds.

NOTE:

Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The compass display is equipped with an automatic correction function. If the compass display reads “CAL” or

the direction is not shown correctly, perform the correction procedure below.

1. Press and hold the (N) switch for about 10 seconds (with

HomeLink universal transceiver) or the mode switch for about

13 seconds (without HomeLink universal transceiver). The dis-

play will read “CAL”.

2. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle, in an open, safe place. The

initial calibration is completed in about 3 turns.

NOTE:

In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the

initial correction may start automatically.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (METER)

Diagnosis Description

INFOID:0000000005260369

SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE

The following items can be checked during Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis Mode.

• Gauge sweep and present gauge values.

• Illuminates all odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments.

• Illuminates all micro controlled lamps/LEDs regardless of switch position.

• Displays estimated present battery voltage.

• Displays seat belt buckle switch LH status.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

NOTE:

• Once entered, combination meter self-diagnosis mode will function with the ignition switch in ON or START.

Combination meter self-diagnosis mode will exit upon turning the ignition switch to OFF or ACC. 

• If the diagnosis function is activated with trip A displayed, the mileage on trip A is reset to 0000.0. (Trip B

operates the same way.)

To initiate combination meter self-diagnosis mode, refer to the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON, while pressing the odometer/trip meter switch for 5 - 8 seconds. When the

diagnosis function is activated, the odometer/trip meter will display tESt.

NOTE:

Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination meter

does not start. Refer to 

MWI-29, "COMBINATION METER : Diagnosis Procedure"

. Replace combination

meter if normal. Refer to 

MWI-96, "Removal and Installation"

.

COMBINATION METER SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTIONS
