msand9898 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 So I get “Compass Data Error” message on the dash when starting car. I followed the owners manual instructions for recalibrating it and it won’t calibrate. I tried different speeds 1mph, 2mph, 3mph, 4mph, 5mph and none work. All my windows work, sunroofs work too. Am I missing something? Like is there a fuse for the Compass on the mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinpoint Test AG: The Compass Is Inaccurate Normal Operation The compass sensor module (integrated into the auto-dimming interior mirror) communicates the vehicle direction to the Instrument Cluster (IC) through the compass communication data plus circuit and compass communication data minus circuit. The magnetic fields generated by the earth's north and south poles are divided into zones that differ from each other with respect to how the magnetic fields appear. The magnetic north can change by up to 4 degrees between zones and become noticeable across multiple zones. The compass zone must be set to the correct zone for the compass to read accurately. Factors within the vehicle may affect the ability of the compass module to accurately read the magnetic north. Calibrating the compass allows the compass module to compensate for vehicle factors that influence the accuracy of the compass. NOTE: Outside factors such as bridges, steel structures, tall buildings and power lines also affect compass accuracy. This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following: Zone setting Calibration Auto-dimming interior mirror PINPOINT TEST AG : THE COMPASS IS INACCURATE AG1 CHECK COMPASS ACCURACY Position the vehicle and observe the compass display as follows: Direction Compass Display North N Northeast NE East E Southeast SE South S Southwest SW West W Northwest NW Does the compass display as indicated? Yes The compass is OK. No GO to AG2. AG2 CHECK THE COMPASS ZONE SETTING AND CALIBRATION Set the zone. Refer to Compass Zone Adjustment in this section. Calibrate the compass. Refer to Compass Calibration in this section. Does the compass calibrate correctly? Yes The compass is OK. No INSTALL a new auto-dimming interior mirror. REFER to Section 501-09. SET the zone.
