NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

COMPASS
COMPASS : Description

INFOID:0000000010288795

COMPASS

• The electronic compass is highly protected from changes in most magnetic fields. However, some large

changes in magnetic fields can affect it. Some examples are (but not limited to): high tension power lines,

large steel buildings, subways, steel bridges, automatic car washes, large piles of scrap metal, etc. While

this does not happen very often, it is possible.

• During normal operation, the Compass Mirror will continuously update the compass calibration to adjust for

gradual changes in the vehicle's magnetic "remnant" field. If the vehicle is subjected to high magnetic influ-

ences, the compass may appear to indicate false headings, become locked, or appear that it is unable to be

calibrated. If this occurs, perform the calibration procedure.

• If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked, ver-

ify the correct zone variance.

Symptom Chart

Symptom

Cause

Solution / Reference

The compass display reads "C".

• Compass is not calibrated.
• Incorrect zone variance setting.
• Large change in magnetic field (Steel 

bridges, subways, concentrations of 
metal, car washes, etc.)

• Compass was calibrated incorrectly or 

in the presence of a strong magnetic 
field.

Perform Calibration. Refer to 

MWI-14, 

"COMPASS : System Description"

.

Compass shows the wrong direction.

Compass does not change direction ap-
pears "Locked".

Compass does not show all the directions, 
one or more is missing.

The compass was calibrated but it "loses" 
calibration.

On long trips the compass shows the 
wrong direction.

Perform Zone Variation Setting if correct 
reading is desired in that location. Refer to 

MWI-14, "COMPASS : System Descrip-
tion"
