DIAGNOSIS
COMPASS/DISPLAY SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
This self-diagnostic test is used to determine that
the compass and all of its display segments are oper-
ating properly electrically. Initiate the self-diagnostic
test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
simultaneously press and hold the COMP/TEMP but-
ton and the US/METRIC button.
(2) Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons until the display
performs a walking segment test. In this test all of
the compass points are displayed, along with various
number combinations. These combinations verify that
all display segments are functional. If any segment
should fail to light during the test, the unit is faulty
and requires replacement. To repeat the test, momen-
tarily depress and release the COMP/TEMP button
one time.
(4) Momentarily depress and release the US/MET-
RIC button one time and all segments will light si-
multaneously for about 2 seconds. If any segment
should fail to light during the test, the unit is faulty
and requires replacement. To repeat the test, momen-
tarily depress and release the COMP/TEMP button
one time.
(5) Momentarily depress and release the US/MET-
RIC button one time or turn the ignition switch to
OFF to exit the self-diagnostic mode and return to
normal operation. Fig. 1 Temperature Sensor
