Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 15:42 Post subject: 2001 Prado, 3.4l, top of dash compass not working |
|
|
I have the top piece on the dash with the 2 instruments, right side with the funny compass. This compass stopped working after I attached the battery (had it disconnected for the summer)...compass is not displaying the direction any more and has a lot of 'N's on the display. These 'N' probably mean: No good
Anyone who knows what is wrong here? |

It needs re calibration easy done look in the manual.
You press a couple of buttons and drive in a complete circle from memory. |

Aaah, calibration. That makes sense.
Unfortunately I don't have any manual for this car. Can anyone give me this manual?
Thanks, Martin |

Press the up and down arrow simultaneously
Press the up arrow and the compas will blink
Do a full slow circle within 1 minute
That should be it |

Sorry, I tried to calibrate the compass today according the given manual but I was not successful.
This is what happened:
'Press the up and down arrow simultaneously' > This made the clinometer light up (all lights there)
'Press the up arrow and the compass will blink' > This made the climometer blink (NOT the compass)
Do a full slow circle within 1 minute
I also couldn't find a manual on the forum. Therefore I am asking again for the correct manual.
Can someone look it up for me? |

- Press the up and down arrows together until the inclinometer starts to blink.
- Then press the "Mode" button to switch to compass. The compass should start to blink.
- Drive your car in a 360 degree circle until the compass stops blinking.
- And that's about it. _________________ It's Not a Bl**dy Jeep it's a Landcruiser

Hi Andy and everyone
The following worked for me finally:
1) press up/down buttons simultaneously
2) press Mode once
3) press up button once (Now compass is blinking)
4) do the turn
Maybe there are different models |
