INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: The Compass is not Correct.

  1. STEP 1. Check the vehicle location 

    Q: Are there any constructions, such as high-voltage wires or a steel bridge, which might affect the compass sensor? 

    1. YES:  After moving to a location where the magnetic field is stable, check the faulty condition again.
    2. NO:  Go to Step 2.
  2. STEP 2. Correct magnetization 

    Q: Was magnetization corrected? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 3.
    2. NO:  Correct magnetization. (Refer to VEHICLE MAGNETIC COMPENSATION  .)
  3. STEP 3. Correct magnetic declination 

    Q: Was magnetic declination corrected? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 4.
    2. NO:  Correct the magnetic declination. (Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE  .)
  4. STEP 4. Demagnetize
