COMPASS/MINI-TRIP
COMPUTER
DESCRIPTION
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is
located in the overhead console on models equipped
with this option. The Compass Mini-Trip Computer
module features a large Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) screen for displaying information, and four
back-lit push button function switches labeled C/T
(compass/thermometer), RESET, STEP, and US/M
(United States/Metric Scale).
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer module contains
a central processing unit and interfaces with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. The PCI data bus network allows the sharing
of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire har-
ness complexity, reduce internal controller hardware,
and reduce component sensor current loads. At the
same time, this system provides increased reliability,
enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of
many new feature capabilities.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer module contains
six informational displays which can be displayed
using the four outer buttons on the overhead console.
When the vehicle is first turned ON:
²CMTC blanks the display for a half second
²Displays whatever was being viewed when the
ignition was last turned OFF
Fig. 5 Variance Settings
8M - 4 MESSAGE SYSTEMSKJ
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (Continued)

The CMTC may also be integrated with the Uni-
versal Transmitter. If so, your CMTC module will
have three buttons centered together between the
outer four buttons. Below the three buttons are cor-
responding dots to indicate which button you are
using.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer includes the fol-
lowing display options:
²Compass and thermometer- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip odometer- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Blank screen- the CMTC compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer VFD is turned off.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the CMTC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
Data input for all CMTC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus
messages. The CMTC module uses its internal pro-
gramming and all of its data inputs to calculate and
display the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclu-
sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the CMTC module and the PCI
data bus.
The CMTC module cannot be repaired, and is
available for service only as a unit. This unit
includes the push button switches and the plastic
module and display lens. If any of these components
is faulty or damaged, the complete CMTC module
must be replaced. The incandescent bulbs used for
CMTC push button back-lighting are available for
service replacement.
DESCRIPTION - COMPASS
While in the compass/thermometer mode, the com-
pass will display the direction in which the vehicle ispointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The self-cal-
ibrating compass unit requires no adjusting in nor-
mal use. The only calibration that may prove
necessary is to drive the vehicle in three complete
circles at 5 to 8 kilometers-per-hour (3 to 5 miles-per-
hour), on level ground, in not less than forty-eight
seconds. This will reorient the compass unit to its
vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magne-
tism the body of the vehicle may acquire during nor-
mal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral pro-
cession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Mag-
netic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this group may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
DESCRIPTION - THERMOMETER
The thermometer displays the outside ambient
temperature in whole degrees. The temperature dis-
play can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
using the U.S./Metric button. The displayed temper-
ature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an
average temperature. It may take the thermometer
display several minutes to respond to a major tem-
perature change, such as driving out of a heated
garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the Body Control Module (BCM) unit memory. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position
again, the CMTC will display the memory tempera-
ture for one minute; then update the display to the
current average temperature reading within five
minutes.
The thermometer function is supported by an
ambient temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front
and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM sends tem-
perature status messages to the CMTC module over
the PCI data bus network. The ambient temperature
sensor is available as a separate service item, refer to
additional information later in this section.
OPERATION
The compass mini-trip computer operates when the
ignition is in the ON position. The VFD will display
the last display before ignition was turned OFF. The
four outer buttons operate:

tions and setting procedures for the CMTC module,
see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COMPASS
MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
The following diagnostic procedure can be used if
the compass mini-trip computer is not operational in
any way. If the problem is specific to a individual
CMTC display, go to the appropriate display title
noted below and diagnose using the information pro-
vided on how these displays are generated.
(1) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(2) Using a ohmmeter, check the ground circuit
cavity of the compass mini-trip computer electricalconnector for proper continuity to ground. Continuity
should be present, If OK go to Step 3, If not OK
repair the open or shorted ground circuit as required.
NOTE: Connect the negative battery cable before
proceeding.
(3) Using a voltmeter, check the fused (B+) circuit
cavity of the compass mini-trip computer electrical
connector for 12v. Voltage should be present, If OK go
to Step 4, If not OK repair the open or shorted fused
(B+) circuit as required.
(4) Using a voltmeter, check the fused ignition
switch output circuit cavity of the compass mini-trip
computer electrical connector for 12v with Key ON.
Voltage should be present, If OK, replace the inoper-
ative CMTC module, If not OK repair the open or
shorted fused ignition switch output circuit as
required.
TEMPERATURE
The compass mini-trip computer receives Program-
mable Communications Interface bus (PCI bus) mes-
sages from the Body Control Module (BCM) for all
displayed information except the compass display. If
a dash (-) is displayed, the compass mini-trip com-
puter is not receiving a PCI bus message from the
BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the BCM,
use the DRB llltscan tool and proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedure Manual.
If the compass mini-trip computer displays a tem-
perature more than 54É C (130É F), check for a short
circuit between the temperature sensor and the
BCM.
If the compass mini-trip computer displays a tem-
perature less than -40É C (-67É F), check for an open
circuit between the temperature sensor and the
BCM.
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
The compass mini-trip computer receives average
fuel economy information from the BCM over the PCI
bus line. If the compass mini-trip computer displays
-.- instead of an average fuel economy value, it is not
receiving a PCI bus message for the average fuel
economy from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus
line and the BCM use the DRB llltscan tool and
proper Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY
The compass mini-trip computer receives distance
to empty information from the BCM over the PCI bus
line. If compass mini-trip computer displays a dash
(-) instead of a distance to empty value, it is not
receiving a PCI bus message for the distance to
empty from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line
8M - 6 MESSAGE SYSTEMSKJ
COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER (Continued)

and the BCM use the DRB llltscan tool and proper
Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
INSTANTANEOUS FUEL ECONOMY
The compass mini-trip computer receives instanta-
neous fuel economy information from the BCM over
the PCI bus line. If compass mini-trip computer dis-
plays a dash (-) instead of an instantaneous fuel
economy value, it is not receiving a PCI bus message
for the instantaneous fuel economy from the BCM. To
check out the PCI bus line and the BCM use the
DRB llltscan tool and proper Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedure Manual.
TRIP ODOMETER
The compass mini-trip computer receives trip
odometer information from the Cluster over the PCI
bus line. If compass mini-trip computer displays
dashes - - instead of the trip odometer value, it is not
receiving a PCI bus message for the trip odometer
from the cluster. To check out the PCI bus line and
the Cluster, use the DRB llltscan tool and proper
Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual.
ELAPSED TIME
The compass mini-trip computer receives a PCI
bus message containing elapsed time information. If
compass mini-trip computer displays dashes --
instead of the elapsed time, it is not receiving a PCI
bus message for the elapsed time from the BCM. To
check out the PCI bus line and the BCM, use the
DRB llltscan tool and proper Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedure Manual.
COMPASS DISPLAY
To display the vehicle direction, the compass mini-
trip computer processes information from a sensor
internal to the module. The compass mini-trip com-
puter is self- calibrating and requires only variance
adjustments dependent upon location. The compass
mini-trip computer displays the label CAL whenever
the compass is in the fast calibration mode.
If all three of the following conditions listed below
occur, the vehicle must be demagnetized.
²Compass portion of the display is blank
²Temperature portion of the display is OK
²The label CAL is illuminated
If demagnetizing the vehicle is needed, refer to the
demagnetizing procedure in this section. After
demagnetizing, to calibrate the compass refer to Cal-
ibration Procedure and to set the variance refer to
Variance Procedure, both within this section. If the
compass portion of the display is still blank, replace
the compass mini-trip computer.

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
On some KJ models a Universal Transmitter trans-
ceiver is standard factory-installed equipment. The
universal transmitter transceiver is integral to the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), which is
located in the overhead console. The only visible com-
ponent of the universal transmitter are the three
transmitter push buttons (Fig. 7) centered between
the four CMTC push buttons located just rearward of
the CMTC display screen in the overhead console.
The three universal transmitter push buttons are
identified with one, two or three light indicators so
that they be easily identified by sight or by feel.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons controls an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained totransmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-
tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The CMTC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the Universal Transmitter.
The Universal Transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the CMTC
module. This unit includes the push button switches
and the plastic module and display lens. If any of
these components is faulty or damaged, the complete
CMTC module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is operating
normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for instructions on training the universal trans-
mitter. Retrain the universal transmitter with a
known good transmitter as instructed in the owner's
manual and test the universal transmitter operation
again. If the unit is still inoperative, replace the
faulty universal transmitter and CMTC module as a
unit. If both the universal transmitter and the CMTC
module are inoperative, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing the Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section for further diagnosis. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer toOverhead Consolein Wiring
Diagrams.

ter begins to flash rapidly (this may take as long as
60 seconds), release both buttons. Your universal
transmitter is now ªtrainedº. To train the other but-
tons, repeat Step 3 and Step 4. Be sure to keep your
hand-held transmitter in case you need to retrain the
universal transmitter.
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Com-
pass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) through ambient
temperature sensor messages received from the Body
Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient
temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor
(Fig. 8) is a variable resistor mounted in front the
radiator, behind the grille, near the center of the
vehicle.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor
changes as temperature changes, changing the tem-
perature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM.
Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the
proper ambient temperature messages to the CMTC
over the PCI data bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a por-
tion of the Compass Mini-Trip Computer module.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring toDiagnosis and Testing -
Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-
firmed to be OK, but the temperature display is
inoperative or incorrect, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing - Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resis-
tance is 336 kilohms. At 55É C (140É F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing - Ambient Temperature
Sensor Circuitin this group. If not OK, replace the
faulty ambient temperature sensor.

DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
A power operated door and tailgate lock system is
available factory-installed equipment on this model.
The power lock system allows all of the doors and thetailgate to be locked or unlocked electrically by oper-
ating a switch on either front door trim panel. The
power lock system receives non-switched battery cur-
rent through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), so
that the power locks remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position.
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks the doors
and tailgate automatically when the vehicle is driven
beyond the speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors
KJPOWER SYSTEMS 8N - 1

are closed and the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The rolling door lock feature can be disabled if
desired.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.
Certain functions and features of the power lock
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
For proper diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
A Radio Frequency (RF) type Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system is an available factory-installed
option on this model. The RKE system allows the use
of a remote battery-powered radio transmitter to sig-
nal the Body Control Module (BCM) to actuate the
power lock system. The RKE receiver operates on
non-switched battery current through a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB), so that the system remains
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a
Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE trans-
mitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the
exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about
three minutes, or until the Panic button is depressed
a second time. A vehicle speed of about 25.7 kilome-
ters-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the
panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed.
The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four
transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in
the RKE receiver memory, even if the battery is dis-
connected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost,
new transmitter vehicle access codes can be pro-
grammed into the system using a DRBIIItscan tool.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-ences. Customer programmable feature options
affecting the RKE system include:
²Remote Unlock Sequence- Allows the option
of having only the driver side front door unlock when
the RKE transmitter Unlock button is depressed the
first time. The remaining doors and the tailgate
unlock when the button is depressed a second time
within 5 seconds of the first unlock press. Another
option is having all doors and the tailgate unlock
upon the first depression of the RKE transmitter
Unlock button.
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the RKE system received a valid
Lock request from the RKE transmitter, or having no
audible verification.
²Flash Lights with Lock and Unlock- Allows
the option of having the lights flash as an optical ver-
ification that the RKE system received a valid Lock
request or Unlock request from the RKE transmitter,
or having no optical verification.
²Programming Additional Transmitters-
Allows up to four transmitter vehicle access codes to
be stored in the receiver memory.
Certain functions and features of the RKE system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information are required.
TAILGATE / FLIP-UP GLASS POWER RELEASE
SYSTEM
A power operated tailgate / flip-up glass release
system is standard factory installed equipment on
this model. The entire system is controlled by the
Body Control Module (BCM). The tailgate / flip-up
glass power release system allows the flip-up glass
latch to be released electrically by actuating a switch
located integral to the outside tailgate handle. By
pulling the handle to the first detent or turning the
key cylinder to unlock, the flip-up glass will open.
Pulling the handle to the second detent will allow the
tailgate to open.
The tailgate / flip-up glass release system operates
on non-switched battery current supplied through a
fuse in the junction block so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
However, the BCM prevents the flip-up glass latch
from being actuated when the tailgate latch is
locked.
