6. On the “SELF DIAGNOSIS” screen, each unit name will be col-
ored according to the diagnosis result, as follows.

If several malfunctions are present in a unit, color of its switch
on the screen will be either red, yellow, or gray, determined by
the malfunction of the highest priority.
7. Select a switch on the “SELF DIAGNOSIS” screen and com-
ments for the diagnosis results will be shown.

When the switch is green, the following comment will be
shown. “Self-diagnosis was successful. Further diagnosis and
adjustments are recommended. Follow the “Confirmation and
Adjustments” menu or refer to the service manual.”

When the switch is yellow, the following comment will be
shown. “Connection to the following unit is abnormal. See the
service manual for further details”.

When the switch is red, the following comment will be shown.
“Center Control Unit is abnormal”.

When the switch is gray, the following comment will be shown. “Self-diagnosis for DVD-ROM DRIVER
of NAVI was not conducted because no DVD-ROM was available.”
SELF–DIAGNOSIS RESULT
Quick reference table

3When “DVD-ROM error. Please check disc.” is shown.
1. Eject map DVD-ROM and check if it is compatible with the system.
2. Check ejected DVD-ROM for dirt, damage, and warpage.
3. If no error is found, insert a known good map DVD-ROM of the same type and perform self-diagno-
sis again. If same result is shown, the NAVI control unit is malfunctioning. If result is normal, the map
DVD-ROM is malfunctioning.Refer to
AV- 1 3 1
4If “Error found in DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM driver in control unit. Please perform diagnosis in accor-
dance with service manual” is shown, carry out same inspection as diagnosis No. 3.Refer to

5GPS antenna system.
1. Visually check for a broken wire in the GPS antenna coaxial cable.
2. Disconnect GPS antenna connector, and make sure approximately 5V is supplied from the NAVI
control unit. If not, the NAVI control unit is malfunctioning. If 5V is supplied, replace the GPS
antenna. If the connection is still malfunction after the replacement of the GPS antenna, the NAVI
control unit is malfunctioning.Refer to

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
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 may 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.
