MAP READING LAMPS OPERATION
The map lamps are actuated by pressing on the
lens (Fig. 1).
LAMP REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove lens by inserting a screw driver or
knife blade into slot located along-side of lens. Once
screwdriver is inserted pry lens to the side and swing
down as it unhooks from housing edge.
(2) Remove lamp by pulling straight down.
(3) Install new lamp by pushing firmly into recep-
tacle.
(4) Snap lens into position taking care to orient
the tabs on the lens with the slots in the housing.
MAP LAMP TEST
(1) Press each lamp switch. Right hand switch
should light passenger lamp and left hand switch
should light drivers lamp.
(2) If lamp does not illuminate check for a burned
out lamp, voltage, defective switch or faulty wiring.
THERMOMETER AND COMPASS
The ignition switch must be in the ON or ACCES-
SORY position before the temperature and compass
reading can be displayed. The Comp/Temp switch
turns the compass display on and off. The US/Metric
switch changes the temperature reading from Fahr-
enheit to Celsius (Fig. 2).
When the vehicle is standing still, engine compart-
ment temperatures may be radiated to the tempera-
ture sensor. Therefore the most accurate ambient
temperature readings are displayed when the vehicle
is moving in a forward motion.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position the
temperature display is updated every 5 minutes.
When the ignition switch is turned off the last dis-
played temperature reading stays in memory. When
the ignition switch is turned on again the thermom-
eter will display the memory temperature for 1
minute; then update the display to the actual tem-
perature within 5 minutes.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Do not attempt to set the compass near large metal
objects, such as, other vehicles, large buildings, or
bridges.
The compass unit automatically calibrates itself as
the vehicle is driven; therefore, no calibration should
be required. When the compass is first powered up,
the CAL light on the display should be on. The CAL
light will go off and the compass will be accurate af-
ter the vehicle completes one to three complete cir-
cles.
If the vehicle’s compass headings are inaccurate,
the compass also can be manually calibrated using
the following procedures:
(1) Depress and hold down both the Comp/Temp
button and the U.S./Metric button.
(2) The display will go off and after 5 seconds the
VAR light will come on. Continue to hold both but-
tons down.
(3) In approximately 10 seconds, the CAL light
will come on. Release both buttons and the display
will show the heading and outside temperature.
(4) Drive the vehicle 1 to 3 complete circles, with-
out turning ignition OFF. The CAL light will then
go off, showing the compass is calibrated.

(5) The variation may need to be adjusted. The
variation is the difference between magnetic north
and true north. To set variation refer the to Varia-
tion Setting Procedure.
If the compass portion of the display is not lit or
compass readings are not accurate after calibration.
The vehicle may have too much magnetism for the
compass to be accurate or the compass circuitry is
not working properly. Refer to Variance Procedure,
Demagnetizing Procedure and/or Compass Diagnos-
tics.
VARIANCE PROCEDURE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North
and geographic North. In some areas the difference
between magnetic and geographic North is great
enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If
this occurs, the variance must be set.
VARIANCE SETTING PROCEDURE
To set the variance, depress and hold down both
the Comp/Temp button and the U.S./Metric button.
The display will go off and after 5 seconds the VAR
light will come on. Release both buttons. Using the
zone map (Fig. 3) to find your geographic location,
note the zone which you are in. Press the U.S./Metric
button until the zone number appears on the display.
Press the Comp/Temp button to enter your zone
number.
Do not attach magnetic devices, such as magnetic
CB antennas to the vehicle roof, as they can cause
the compass to give false readings.
DEMAGNETIZING PROCEDURE
Every vehicle has its own magnetic field. This
magnetic field is created by the various processes a
steel roof goes through when the vehicle is built. A
magnetic field also can be created if the roof is sub-
jected to a magnet, example:
• Magnetic c.b. antenna
• Magnetic tipped screwdriver, etc.
If the roof becomes magnetized use a demagnetiz-
ing tool 6029 to demagnetize the roof.
In this demagnetizing procedure you will use the
demagnetizing tool to demagnetize the roof and
mounting screws in the overhead console. It is impor-
tant that you follow the instructions below exactly.
The mounting screws and the mounting brackets
around the compass area are steel, and therefore aid
in the demagnetizing of the roof panel.
(1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetize procedure.
(2) Open the sun glass compartment to gain access
to the overhead console mounting screws.

(3) Plug the demagnetizing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet, keeping the demagnetizing
tool at least 12 inches away from the compass area
when plugging it in.
(4) Slowly approach the console mounting screw
with the plastic coated tip of the tool for at least 2
seconds.
(5) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the screw until the tip is at
least 12 inches from the screw head.
(6) After you have pulled at least 12 inches from
the last screw, remove the demagnetizer tool from in-
side of the vehicle and disconnect it from the electri-
cal outlet.
(7) Place an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper length-
wise on the roof of vehicle directly above compass.
The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel
from scratches and define the area to be demagne-
tized.
(8) Plug in the demagnetizing tool, keeping it at
least 2 feet away from the compass unit.
(9) Slowly approach the center of the roof panel at
the windshield with the demagnetizing tool plugged
in.
(10) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool
and using slow sweeping motions of 1/2 inch between
sweeps. Move the tool approximately 4 inches either
side of the centerline and at least 11 inches back
from the windshield.
(11) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back away from the roof panel until the tip is
at least 2 feet from the roof before unplugging the
tool.
(12) Recalibrate compass.
COMPASS DIAGNOSTICS
To place the unit into the diagnostics mode, turn
the vehicle ignition off. Depress the Comp/Temp but-
ton while turning on the ignition/run switch. The
display will then show DO. There are 3 tests that
can be performed when in the diagnostics mode.
Press the U.S./Metric button to choose test desired.
Refer to Fig. 4 and 5.
Test 1 (d1) determines the magnetic field strength
at the compass. The compass displays compensation
numbers which, correspond to the current magnetic
field strength at the compass. The letter N is dis-
played in the compass portion of the display. While a
number which, corresponds to the magnetic field
strength in the North/South direction is displayed.
The temperature portion of the display or the letter
W is displayed in the compass portion of the display.
A number which, corresponds to the magnetic field
strength in the East/West direction is displayed in
the temperature portion of the display. For proper
compass operation the numbers should be between 1
and 14. A number of 7 or 8 is ideal (no vehicle mag-
netism) while numbers approaching 1 or 14 show
that the vehicle is highly magnetic. If the numbers
show that the vehicle is highly magnetic, perform
the demagnetized procedure in this Group and retest
for magnetism at compass. If the numbers show that
the vehicle is highly magnetic, perform the demagne-
tizing procedure in this section and retest for magne-
tism at compass. The compass is not on the CCD bus,
if not functioning properly, refer to the Overhead
Console and Thermometer diagnosis.
Test 2 (d2) checks the electronic circuits of the
compass, temperature, and CCD bus. If the test
passes d2 will be displayed, and if the test fails F2
will be displayed. Refer to AG and AJ Body Diagnos-
tic Procedure Manual for further testing procedures.
