CALIBRATION COMPLETE
Refer to Electronic Compass Calibration do you have an owners manual ?
Compass Calibration
The compass direction will show CAL if it needs to be calibrated. Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to an area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects).
Turn ON the ignition.
Before calibrating the compass, make sure the compass is set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is travelling. See Compass Magnetic Variation Adjustment below.
Press the vehicle information button until the PRESS TO CALIBRATE COMPASS screen is displayed.
Press the set/reset button to start the compass calibration.
The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in circles at less than 8 km/h (5 mph) to complete the calibration. The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETE when the calibration is complete.
CAL stands for Calibrate. The IPC (instrument panel cluster) needs to be recalibrated. This could becaused by a battery/power spike, which means the IPC will need to relearn default settings, or therecould be an underlying problem. Technician will need to hook it up to a computer to analyze problem,and relearn settings.

well sounds like the temp gauge is doing its job, i would look and find out why the gauge is running above normal are the fans operating correctly there are two speeds on that model low and high. if that checks out correctly is the sending unit in the used mtr the correct one, are the connection correct. who installed the mtr , i wonder if every thing else is correct i would let some one else check this out for you not the company that installed it, and if there is a problem take it back let theme be aware of the problem . hope fully they will take care of it good luck kdc744
