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

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

functions which can be reset are Average fuel econ-
omy, Trip odometer and Elapsed time.
Global ResetThis feature allows all three dis-
plays (Average fuel economy, Trip odometer and
Elapsed time) to be reset easily, by pressing the
RESET button twice within three seconds with any
of the screens in display. This eliminates the need to
reset each display individually.
The RESET button is also used to set the variance
and/or calibrate the compass. Refer to the Variance
Procedure and Calibration Procedure in this section.
For more information on the features, control func-
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.

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

proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBIIItscan tool can provide confirmation
that the PCI data bus is functional, that all of
the electronic modules are sending and receiv-
ing the proper messages on the PCI data bus,
and that the power lock motors are being sent
the proper hard wired outputs by the relays for
them to perform their power lock system func-
tions.
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power lock
system. However, these tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power lock system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power lock system components must be checked.
The Body Control Module (BCM) will set Diagnos-
tic Trouble Codes (DTC) for the power lock system.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the power lock sys-
tem, note the system operation while you actuate
both the Lock and Unlock functions with the power
lock switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction
Block (JB).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to diagnosis of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING) or (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door lock
switches. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER
LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
