Check that the calibration of the compass can be carried out at another place.

Move the vehicle to be checked to another place.
NOTE: Move to a wide flat place where calibration of the compass can be carried out.
Check again that calibration of the compass can be carried out.
NOTE: If the calibration is correct, the following causes can be assumed.
- Calibration is difficult due to the magnet direction and direction of the vehicle at the start of calibration.
- There is a disturbing magnetic field in the area, and calibration is difficult.

If the calibration is correct, check that the malfunction is eliminated.
