COMPASS AND THERMOMETERPFP:24835
System DescriptionEKS007E4
This unit displays the following items:

Earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.

Outside air temperature.

Caution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push the mode switch when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The outside temperature will be displayed
in “°F”.

Selecting the indication range
Push the mode switch to change from °F → °C → OFF → °F.

The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only
when one of the following conditions is present.
–The temperature detected by the ambient sensor is lower than the indicated temperature on the thermom-
eter.
–The vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (13 MPH).
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat during low-speed driv-
ing.)
–The ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position for more than 2 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Push the mode switch when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The direction will be displayed.

Pre-diagnosis InspectionEKS007EX
SENSOR STATUS CHECK

Check that the rear sonar sensor is properly aligned (bumper is not misaligned, no deformation in sensor
mounting area.

Check that snow, mud, or other foreign objects are not adhering to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that there is no deformation, scratches, or other damage to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that water has not accumulated in the rear sonar sensor.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensor.
1. Check that there are no obstacles within each rear sonar sensor's detection range.
2. Check that there are no nearby ultrasound sources (such as the sounds of vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes).
3. Check that the vehicle is on a level surface.
Self-diagnosis FunctionEKS007EY
There are four modes of self-diagnosis; entering diagnostics, requesting number of fault codes, requesting
fault codes, and idling or clearing fault codes. These steps must be followed in order. Self-diagnosis can be
manually exited by turning the ignition switch OFF, or selecting reverse gear. Self-diagnosis will exit unless a
fault code request occurs before a message is repeated five times without acknowledgement.
ENTERING DIAGNOSTICS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Rear sonar system OFF switch indica-
tor lamp illuminates for three seconds and then turns off.
2. Immediately push rear sonar system OFF switch ten times
within five seconds.
3. The sonar buzzer will sound once and the rear sonar system
OFF indicator will flash once.
REQUESTING NUMBER OF FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in diagnostic mode, push rear sonar system OFF switch
once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash once and sonar
buzzer will sound once for each fault code detected.
4. There will be a four second pause.
5. The number of fault codes will repeat five times then pause.
NOTE:
Self-diagnosis will exit unless requesting fault codes occurs
before five repeats ends.
Detection range
Rear sonar sensors Approx. 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) maximum
