COMPASS AND THERMOMETER
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
COMPASS AND THERMOMETERPFP:24835
System DescriptionEKS00BCE
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.

Calibration Procedure for CompassEKS00BCH
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North can sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone, it must be cali-
brated using the following procedure.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction function.
If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correction.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the Mode switch for about 10 seconds will enter the initial correction mode. The compass display
will begin to flash.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial correction is completed in approximately 1.5
turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.

CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.

SULT-II CONVERTER” to the data link connector, and turn igni-
tion switch ON.

3. Touch “BCM” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. If “BCM” is not
indicated, go to BCS-11, "
CONSULT–II INSPECTION PROCE-
DURE" .
