Calibrating overhead console display

How do I do it? I had to purchase a new digital display unit for my 2002 Expy after the original one died and wasn't repairable. There is a sticker on the module stating the "compass is not calibrated. Please refer to service parts manual for calibration instructions". If this is something I can do myself, I will...just need to know how. Thanks!

The procedure is in the owners manual, it's pretty simple as I have done it before, press some buttons and drive in circles. But I don't remember exactly, if you don't have your manual I could look up for you.

If you don't have your owners manual, you can find it here. https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...ls/default.asp

Thanks for the replies. I didn't even think of looking in my owner's manual. I saw that sticker and immediately thought "dealership". I found the info in my manual and will go drive in some circles tomorrow! Thanks again.

All recalibrated, and it only took 1 circle for it to completely calibrate. Thanks again for the replies.
