This bulletin is being revised to update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-48-005B (Section 08-Body &
Accessories).
Vehicles with an electronic compass display either on the inside rearview mirror or in the driver information center (DIC) MUST have the correct
geographic zone set and be calibrated during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI).
This bulletin is being issued to emphasize the importance of following the Pre-Delivery Inspection instructions in order to eliminate unnecessary part
replacements and comeback repairs.
Some inside rearview mirror assemblies and DTCs with a compass display, from the above listed vehicles, have been returned to the Warranty Parts
Center (WPC) for compass not operating properly. Analyses of these parts show no out of specification condition or No Trouble Found (NTF) AFTER
the Compass Variance (Zone) and Calibration Procedure were performed.
During the new vehicle PDI, it is important and required that the Compass Variance (Zone) and Calibration Procedure be performed even if a vehicle
arrives displaying a compass heading. This will ensure the accuracy of the compass information. Refer to the Compass Variance (Zone) and Compass
Calibration procedure in the vehicles owners manual.
