COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher for this model is integral
to the hazard switch located in the center of the
instrument panel, just above the radio. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the hazard switch
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has the following inputs and
outputs: fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, right
turn signal sense, left turn signal sense, and one out-
put each for the right and left turn signal circuits. The
combination flasher also receives an internal input
through the closed contacts of the hazard switch and,
on vehicles equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS), the flasher receives an input
from the Body Control Module (BCM) in order to flash
the turn signal lamps as an optical alert feature of that

LAMP BAR
DESCRIPTION
The lamp bar is used to better illuminate the driv-
ers field of vision under certain driving conditions. It
consists of a cover, two or four lamp assemblies
(depending upon which market), and a wiring har-
ness. These components are mounted to a reinforce-
ment, then sealed and secured to the roof panel.
Lamp bar illumination is controlled by a manually
operated momentary rocker switch, mounted to the
instrument panel. The lamps are adjustable in the
vertical position only.
OPERATION
Battery and ignition voltage are supplied to the
lamp bar switch assembly. When the switch is in the
on position the internal relay contacts close, complet-
ing the circuit through the lamp bar bulbs, to
ground. The lamp bar assembly is grounded to the
chassis. The hard wired circuits of the lamp bar may
be diagnosed and tested using conventional methods
and procedures.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when ser-
vicing the overhead console.The electronic compass unit features a self-cali-
brating design, which simplifies the calibration pro-
cedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism that the vehicle
may acquire during normal use. If the compass read-
ings appear to be erratic or out of calibration, per-
form the following calibration procedure. Also, new
service replacement Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC) modules must have their compass calibrated
using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the
compass near large metal objects such as other vehi-
cles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or
underground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manu-
ally, the variance number must also be reset. Refer
to Compass Variation Adjustment in this group.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer dis-
play.
(2) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªCALº appears in the display. This
takes about ten seconds, and appears about five sec-
onds after ªVARIANCE = XXº is displayed.
(3) Release the Reset push button.
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through three or
more complete circles at between five and eight kilo-
meters-per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) in
not less than 48 seconds. The ªCALº message will
disappear from the display to indicate that the com-
pass is now calibrated.
NOTE: If the ªCALº message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the com-
pass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the
compass display, the area selected for calibration
may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat
the calibration procedure in another location.STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console for-
ward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as
Fig. 3 Base Console

OVERHEAD CONSOLE (Continued)

continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing proce-
dure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the overhead con-
sole forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
(4) Contact the head of the screw with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two sec-
onds.
(5) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool
is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the screw
head, disconnect the tool.
(6) Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28
centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the vehicle
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 4). The pur-
pose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
(7) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(8) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
(9) Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated
tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template
is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel. Using a
slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing
13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between passes, move the
tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of
the roof center line, and 28 centimeters (11 inches)
back from the windshield header.
(10) With the degaussing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the
tip of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
(11) Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass
variance (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic decli-
nation, is the difference in angle between magnetic
north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geo-
graphic north is great enough to cause the compassto give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance setting may need to be changed.
To set the compass variance:
(1) Using the Variance Settings map, find your
geographic location and note the zone number (Fig.
5).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer dis-
play.
(3) Depress the Reset push button and hold the
button down until ªVARIANCE = XXº appears in the
display. This takes about five seconds.
(4) Release the Reset push button. ªVARIANCE
=XX º will remain in the display. ªXXº equals the cur-
rent variance zone setting.
(5) Momentarily depress and release the Step push
button to step through the zone numbers, until the
zone number for your geographic location appears in
the display.
(6) Momentarily depress and release the Reset
push button to enter the displayed zone number into
the CMTC module memory.
(7) Confirm that the correct directions are now
indicated by the compass.

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
