Pinpoint Test Ca: The Compass Is Inoperative

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Always set the zone and calibrate the compass before replacing an inaccurate compass module.
  1. CA1 CHECK THE AUTO-DIMMING INTERIOR MIRROR VOLTAGE SUPPLY 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Auto-Dimming Interior Mirror C911 or C9039 (Camera Display Mirror).
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-1 or C9039-1 (camera display mirror), circuit CBP41 (BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
  2. CA2 CHECK THE COMPASS MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • If not  equipped with a camera display mirror, measure the voltage between the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-1, circuit CBP41 (BU), harness side and auto-dimming interior mirror C911-4, circuit GD139 (BK/YE), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes:  GO to CA3.
    • No:  REPAIR circuit GD133 (BK) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. CA3 CHECK THE COMPASS COMMUNICATION CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: IPC C220.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-9 or C9039-9 (camera display mirror), circuit VMC31 (GY/BU), harness side and ground; and between the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-10 or C9039-10 (camera display mirror), circuit VMC30 (BU/GY), harness side and ground.

    • Is any voltage present? 
    • Yes:  REPAIR the circuit in question for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    • No:  GO to CA4.
  4. CA4 CHECK THE COMPASS COMMUNICATION PLUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN AND SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between the IPC C220-23, circuit VMC30 (BU/GY), harness side and the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-10 or C9039-10 (camera display mirror), VMC30 (BU/GY), harness side; and between the IPC C220-23, circuit VMC30 (BU/GY), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the IPC and the auto-dimming interior mirror, and greater than 10, 000 ohms between the IPC and ground? 
    • Yes:  GO to CA5.
    • No:  REPAIR the circuit for an open or short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. CA5 CHECK THE COMPASS COMMUNICATION MINUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN AND SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between the IPC C220-24, circuit VMC31 (GY/BU), harness side and the auto-dimming interior mirror C911-9 or C9039-9 (camera display mirror), VMC31 (GY/BU), harness side; and between the IPC C220-24, circuit VMC31 (GY/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the IPC and the auto-dimming interior mirror, and greater than 10, 000 ohms between the IPC and ground? 
    • Yes:  GO to CA6.
    • No:  REPAIR the circuit for an open or short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. CA6 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IPC connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IPC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
