Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Plymouth Voyager, 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996 Dodge Caravan, and 1996 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The CMTC is located in overhead console. This dual-function display provides a digital readout of ambient (outside) temperature and 8 primary compass readings to indicate the direction in which vehicle is facing.
The CMTC is self-calibrated and requires no adjustment. The word CAL will be displayed to indicate that the compass is in the fast calibrating mode. The CAL display may be turned off after the vehicle has completed 3 circles without stopping, in an area free of magnetic disturbance.
If the module displays ambient temperature while the compass display is blank, the vehicle must be demagnetized. If compass display still goes blank after the vehicle is demagnetized, the compass/temperature module must be replaced.
