Pacifica V6-3.8L VIN L (2005)
Use the RESET Button to:
1. Clear the trip functions that may be reset.
2. Enter and exit the diagnostic mode.
Pressing the RESET button once will clear the trip function displayed (except Distance to Service) and cause the EVIC to send a PCI Bus beep request
to the BCM. If the RESET button is pressed again within 3 seconds, the EVIC will reset ALL of the trip functions. The trip function that may be reset is
the Average Fuel Economy.
A reset will only occur if a trip function that may be reset is displayed. Distance to Service is reset in the customer programmable features.
TRAVELER DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
Using the STEP button will change the EVIC between modes of operation and display the appropriate information according to data received from the
PCI Bus.
COMPASS
The EVIC displays the compass reading. The EVIC receives the compass information from the overhead console.
COMPASS OPERATION - ALL
Upon ignition on, if the calibration information stored in the CMTC memory is within the normal range, the CMTC will perform in slow Auto-Cal mode.
In slow Auto-Cal mode, the CMTC continuously compensates for the slowly changing magnetic field of the vehicle. The compass module detects
changes in the vehicle magnetism and makes appropriate internal corrections to ensure proper displayed direction. However, if the calibration
information stored in the CMTC memory is not within the normal range at ignition on, the CMTC will enter fast Auto-Cal mode. Auto activation of the
fast Auto-Cal mode occurs when the CMTC is subjected to high magnetic field strength levels, which cause all compass readings to be erroneous for a
continuous period of five (5) minutes. During fast Auto-Cal, "COMPASS CALIBRATING" will display. Fast Auto-Cal can also be performed
manually, by completing one 360° turn in an area free from large metal or metallic objects. When complete, the "COMPASS CALIBRATING" EVIC
message will turn off and the compass will function normally.
SETTING MAGNETIC ZONE VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North and geographic North. For proper compass function, the correct variance zone must be set. Refer to
the Zone Variance map for the correct zone. Follow these steps to check or change the variance zone:
-
The ignition switch must be in the On position and the EVIC display must not be blank.
-
If the compass data is not displayed, step through until the compass information displays.
-
Press and hold the RESET button (approximately 5 seconds) until VARIANCE = XX is displayed. The EVIC will display the variance zone
stored in memory and the word VARIANCE.
-
Use the RESET button to select the proper variance zone number, 1 through 15.
-
After selecting the proper zone number, momentarily press and release the RESET button. The variance zone is then stored in the memory and the
EVIC returns to normal operation.
