Does "compass" flash on your display?

I bought my FJ about a month ago and was just wondering if the word "compass" on the display gauge is supposed to be constantly flashing or if this indicates that something is wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It will flash if it needs to be calibrated. Check your manual. You have to drive in a circle to calibrate it.

You need to calibrate it by driving around in a circle. Seriously. Read your owner's manual, the exact procedure is in there.

And welcome to the forum.

I read the manual and it doesn't say anything about "compass" flashing. But i was guessing that it indicated that it needed to be calibrated. Just calibrated it , PROBLEM SOLVED, THANKS
