EVIC Head Monitor

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module is located in the overhead console. It displays to the driver such information as time, outside temperature, compass direction, and fuel economy.

The EVIC panel monitor receives messages from other modules on the CCD bus about the status of a variety of systems and components (see TEST 3A for a list of the messages). Any failure of a monitored system results in a warning message on the EVIC head monitor.

TO SET THE COMPASS
1. Press the TEMP button on the EVIC panel to place it in TEMP mode.
2. Press and hold the TEMP and SET buttons at the same time for 5 to 6 seconds. An asterisk (*) will appear in the upper right corner of the EVIC display.
3. After a few seconds, the display will change and toggle among these three messages: "SET COMP PRESS TEMP", "SET VAR PRESS INFO", and "TO EXIT PRESS TIME".
4. Press the TEMP button once to set the compass. The EVIC will display the message "SETTING COMPASS". This display will continue for up to 60 seconds until the compass is calibrated.
5. When the calibration is completed, the display will toggle between the messages "FACE CAR OPPOSITE" and "DIRECTION PRESS TEMP".
6. Turn the car around to the opposite direction (180 degrees) from the direction it is currently facing.
7. Press the TEMP button once.
8. The EVIC again will display the message "SETTING COMPASS".
9. The display will return automatically to normal operation when the calibration is complete.

TO SET THE VARIANCE
1. Press the TEMP button on the EVIC panel to place it in TEMP mode.
2. Press and hold the TEMP and SET buttons at the same time for 5 to 6 seconds. An asterisk (*) will appear in the upper right corner of the EVIC display.
3. After a few seconds, the display will change and toggle among these three messages: "SET COMP PRESS TEMP", "SET VAR PRESS INFO", and "TO EXIT PRESS TIME".
4. Press the INFO button once to set the variance.
5. The display will change and toggle between these two messages: "FACE NORTH PRESS TEMP" and "TO EXIT PRESS TIME".
6. Point the vehicle toward geographic north.

NOTE: Use a road map if necessary to determine north.

7. Press the TEMP button once. The EVIC will display the message "SETTING COMPASS". This display will continue for up to 60 seconds while the variance is being set.
8. The display will return automatically to normal operation when the variance has been set.

NOTE: The set the EVIC Head clock, refer to the Owner's Manual. If the clock cannot be set, transfer the odometer reading and replace the body controller.
