INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: The Compass is not Correct.
- 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?
- YES: After moving to a location where the magnetic field is stable, check the faulty condition again.
- NO: Go to Step 2.
- STEP 2. Correct magnetization
Q: Was magnetization corrected?
- YES: Go to Step 3.
- NO: Correct magnetization. (Refer to VEHICLE MAGNETIC COMPENSATION .)
- STEP 3. Correct magnetic declination
Q: Was magnetic declination corrected?
- YES: Go to Step 4.
- NO: Correct the magnetic declination. (Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE .)
- STEP 4. Demagnetize
Q: Was that demagnetized?
- YES: Replace the compass sensor.
- NO: Demagnetize it. (Refer to VEHICLE MAGNETIC COMPENSATION .)
