COMPASSPFP:24835
System DescriptionNKS003W3
This unit displays earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Push “COMP” switch (1) when ignition switch is in “ON” or “START”
position. The direction will be displayed.
Pushing “COMP” switch (1) a second time will turn off the display (2).
NOTE:
Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which are attached to
the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of
the compass.
The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tun-
nels or while driving up or down a steep hill. (The compass
returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle moves to
an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Zone Variation Change ProcedureNKS003W4
The difference between magnetic north and geographical north is known as variance. In some areas, this dif-
ference can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass reading.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for the particular loca-
tion if this happens:
1. Push “COMP” switch for more than 3 seconds. The current zone
number will appear in the display.
2. Find the current location and variance one number on the zone
variation chart.
3. Push “COMP” switch until the new zone number appears in the
display. After stopping pushing the switch in, the display will
show a compass direction within a few seconds.
Correction Functions of the Compass DisplayNKS003W5
AUTOMATIC CORRECTION
The compass display is equipped with automatic correction function. If the direction is not shown correctly,
perform manual correction procedure set out below.
MANUAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE
When the display reads “C” or “CAL”, calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at less
than 8 km/h (5 MPH).
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle on everyday route. The compass will be calibrated once
it has tracked 3 complete circles.
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction procedure may start
automatically.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTROL (CLOSED LOOP CONTROL)
The mixture ratio feedback system provides the best air-fuel mixture ratio for driveability and emission control.
The three way catalyst 1 can then better reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. This system uses A/F sensor 1
in the exhaust manifold to monitor whether the engine operation is rich or lean. The ECM adjusts the injection
pulse width according to the sensor voltage signal. For more information about A/F sensor 1, refer to EC-256,
"DTC P0131, P0151 A/F SENSOR 1" . This maintains the mixture ratio within the range of stoichiometric (ideal
air-fuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
Heated oxygen sensor 2 is located downstream of the three way catalyst 1. Even if the switching characteris-
tics of A/F sensor 1 shift, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric by the signal from heated oxygen sen-
sor 2.
Open Loop Control
The open loop system condition refers to when the ECM detects any of the following conditions. Feedback
control stops in order to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.
Deceleration and acceleration
High-load, high-speed operation
Malfunction of A/F sensor 1 or its circuit
Insufficient activation of A/F sensor 1 at low engine coolant temperature
High engine coolant temperature
During warm-up
After shifting from N to D
When starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONTROL
The mixture ratio feedback control system monitors the mixture ratio signal transmitted from A/F sensor 1.
This feedback signal is then sent to the ECM. The ECM controls the basic mixture ratio as close to the theoret-
ical mixture ratio as possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily controlled as originally
designed. Both manufacturing differences (i.e., mass air flow sensor hot wire) and characteristic changes dur-
ing operation (i.e., fuel injector clogging) directly affect mixture ratio.
Accordingly, the difference between the basic and theoretical mixture ratios is monitored in this system. This is
then computed in terms of “injection pulse duration” to automatically compensate for the difference between
the two ratios.
“Fuel trim” refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection duration. Fuel trim
includes short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim.
“Short term fuel trim” is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the mixture ratio at its theoretical
value. The signal from A/F sensor 1 indicates whether the mixture ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the the-
oretical value. The signal then triggers a reduction in fuel volume if the mixture ratio is rich, and an increase in
fuel volume if it is lean.
“Long term fuel trim” is overall fuel compensation carried out long-term to compensate for continual deviation
of the short term fuel trim from the central value. Such deviation will occur due to individual engine differences,
wear over time and changes in the usage environment.

Actual work procedures are explained using a DTC as an example. Be careful so that not only the DTC, but all
of the data listed above, are cleared from the ECM memory during work procedures.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)NBS004SO
DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
If the MIL does not light up, refer to DI-40, "
WARNING LAMPS" ,
or see EC-722, "
MIL AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR" .
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.
When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the driver by lighting up MIL when there is
malfunction on engine control system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related diagnoses are continuously detected as
NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open by means
of operating fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL circuit are detected and demands the
driver to repair the malfunction.

WARNINGThis is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is
