When RGB signal error occurred in the RGB system, tone of the color bar will change as follows.

When the color of the screen looks unusual, refer to AV- 1 6 2 , "Color of RGB Image is Not Proper (All
screens Looks Bluish)" ,AV- 1 6 3 , "Color of RGB Image is Not Proper (All Screens Looks Reddish)" and
AV- 1 6 4 , "

VEHICLE SIGNALS

A comparison check can be made of each actual vehicle signal
and the signals recognized by the system.
CAUTION:
In case of confirming light signal, set D/N mode to ON/OFF
of lighting switch (normal setting).

OFF: D (Day mode)

ON: N (Night mode)
Unless above setting, light signal (ON/OFF) may not be
accurately displayed.

If vehicle speed is NG, refer to AV- 1 5 0 , "Vehicle Speed Signal Check for Display Control Unit" .

If light is NG, refer to AV- 1 5 2 , "Illumination Signal Check for Display Control Unit" .

If IGN is NG, refer to AV- 1 5 2 , "Ignition Signal Check for Display Control Unit" .

If reverse is NG, refer to AV- 1 5 3 , "Reverse Signal Check for Display Control Unit" .
AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL

DIAGNOSIS BY HISTORY OF ERRORS
The “Self-diagnosis” results indicate whether an error occurred during the period from when the ignition switch
is turned to ON until “Self-diagnosis” is completed.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned to ON and does not occur again until the “Self-diag-
nosis” is completed, the diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, those errors in the past, which can-
not be found by the “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by diagnosing the “History of Errors”.
The History of Errors displays the time and place of the most recent occurrence of that error. However, take
note of the following points.

Correct time of the error occurrence may not be displayed when the GPS antenna substrate within the
NAVI control unit has malfunctioned.

Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current-location mark at the time when
the error occurred. If the current-location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of
the error occurrence max be located correctly.

The maximum number of occurrences which can be stored is 50. For the 51st and later occurrences, the
displayed number remains 50.
When a reproducible malfunction occurred but its cause cannot be identified because several errors are
present, record the item, number and place (longitude/latitude) of error occurrence (or delete the History of
Errors), then turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON to reproduce the malfunction. Check the History of Errors
to find the items which show an increased number of occurrences, and diagnose the item.

Able to confirm/adjust longitude and latitude.
Angle Adjustment

Adjusts turning angle output detected by the gyroscope.
Speed Calibration

During normal driving, distance error caused by tire wear and
tire pressure change is automatically adjusted for by the auto-
matic distance correction function. This function, on the other
hand, is for immediate adjustment, in cases such as driving with
tire chain fitted on tires.
Initialize Location

This mode is for initializing the current location.

A/C and AV Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionAKS00BN6
DESCRIPTION
It can check ON/OFF operation of each switch in the A/C and AV switch and diagnose the input signals to the
steering switch (audio).
Starting the SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ACC.
2. Within 10 seconds press and hold the witches “MUTE/II ” and
“PREV” simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Diagnosis Function

It can illuminate all the indicators (LED) in the A/C and AV switch.

It can check for continuity of the switches by sounding the buzzer when the A/C and AV switch is pressed.

It can check for continuity of harness between A/C and AV switch and steering switch (audio).
NOTE:

Indicators (LED) of REC/FRE switch change to “FRE” → “REC” → “FRE” every time the REC/FRE switch
is pushed. (These two do not turn on at a time.)

Impossible to check rear window defogger switch operation (No beep sound even under normal status).
Exiting the SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE

Turn ignition switch OFF.
