EVIC display.
5. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines, through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" symbol will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass calibration.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the EVIC is inoperative.
Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic
field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in another location.

COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
DEGAUSSING TOOL #6029
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel of the vehicle. Equivalent units must be rated as continuous
duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing procedure.
