Self-Diagnosis FunctionEKS00F32
DESCRIPTION
Diagnosis function consists of the self-diagnosis mode performed automatically and the CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENT mode operated manually.
Self-diagnosis mode checks for connections between the units constituting this system, analyzes each
individual unit at the same time, and displays the results on the LCD screen.
CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT mode is used to perform trouble diagnosis that require operation and
judgment by an operator (trouble that cannot be automatically judged by the system), to check/change the
set value, and to display the History of Errors of the navigation system.
DIAGNOSIS ITEM
Mode Description
Self-diagnosis
NAVI Control unit diagnosis (DVD-ROM drive will not be diagnosed when no
map DVD-ROM is in it.).
Performs diagnosis of each unit and connections between control unit and GPS
antenna, as well as between control unit and each unit.
Confirmation /
AdjustmentDisplayColor tone and shading of the screen can be checked by the display of a color bar
and a gray scale.
Vehicle signalsAnalyzes the following vehicle signals: Vehicle speed signal, light signal, ignition
switch signal, and reverse signal.
History of ErrorsDiagnosis results previously stored in the memory (before turning ignition switch
ON) are displayed in this mode. Time and location when/where the errors occurred
are also displayed.
NavigationDisplay Longitude
& LatitudeDisplay the map. Use the joystick to adjust position. Longitude and latitude will be
displayed.
Speed CalibrationUnder ordinary conditions, the navigation system distance measuring function will
automatically compensate for minute decreases in wheel and tire diameter caused
by tire wear or low pressure. Speed calibration immediately restores system accu-
racy in cases such as when distance calibration is needed because of the use of
tire chains in inclement weather.
Angle AdjustmentCorrects difference between actual turning angle of a vehicle and turning angle of
the car mark on the display.
Initialize LocationThis mode is for initializing the current location. Use when the vehicle is trans-
ported a long distance on a trailer, etc.
Feature Restriction SettingOperations of navigation system that are performed while driving can be restricted
by using this function.

VEHICLE SIGNALS
A comparison check can be made of each actual vehicle signal
and the signals recognized by the system.
If vehicle speed is NG, refer to AV- 8 9 , "Vehicle Speed Signal Check" .
If light is NG, refer to AV- 9 0 , "Illumination Signal Check" .
If IGN is NG, refer to AV- 9 0 , "Ignition Signal Check" .
If reverse is NG, refer to AV- 9 1 , "Reverse Signal Check" .
HISTORY OF ERRORS
Diagnosis results of self-diagnosis depend on if any error occurred during the time after selecting “Self-Diag-
nosis” until self-diagnosis results is displayed.
Meanwhile, when an error occurs before selecting “Self-Diagnosis”, and if an error does not occur until self-
diagnosis results is displayed, a diagnosis result is judged as normal.
Consequently, a diagnosis needs to be performed with “History of Error” for the past error that is not available
with self-diagnosis.
“History of Error” 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 vehicle mark at the time when the error
occurred. If the vehicle mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of the error occurrence
may be located correctly.

VEHICLE MARK IS IN A RIVER OR SEA
The navigation system moves the vehicle mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If the vehi-
cle mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
VEHICLE MARK AUTOMATICALLY ROTATES
The system wrongly memorizes the rotating status as stopping when the ignition switch is turned ON with the
turntable rotating. That causes the vehicle mark to rotate when the vehicle is stopped.
WHEN DRIVING ON SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES VEHICLE MARK IS IN RIGHT PLACE AND
SOMETIMES IT IS WRONG PLACE
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the location has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
LOCATION CORRECTION BY MAP-MATCHING IS SLOW
The map matching function needs to refer to the data of the surrounding area. It is necessary to drive
some distance for the function to work.
Because map matching operates on this principle, when there are many roads running in similar direc-
tions in the surrounding area, no matching determination may be made. The location may not be cor-
rected until some special feature is found.
ALTHOUGH GPS RECEIVING DISPLAY IS GREEN, VEHICLE MARK DOES NOT RETURN TO
CORRECT LOCATION
The GPS accuracy has an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft). In some cases the vehicle mark may not be
on the correct street, even when GPS location-correction is done.
The navigation system compares the results of GPS location detection with the results from map-match-
ing location detection. The one which is determined to have higher accuracy is used.
GPS location correction may not be performed when the vehicle is stopped.
NAME OF CURRENT PLACE IS NOT DISPLAYED
The current place name may not be displayed if there are no place names displayed on the map screen.
CONTENTS OF DISPLAY DIFFER FOR BIRDVIEW® AND THE (FLAT) MAP SCREEN
Difference of the BIRDVIEW
® Screen From the Flat Map Screen Are As Follows
The current place name displays names which are primarily in the direction of vehicle travel.
The amount of time before the vehicle travel or turn angle is updated on the screen is longer than for the
(flat) map display.
The conditions for display of place names, roads, and other data are different for nearby areas and for
more distant areas.
Some thinning of the character data is done to prevent the display becoming to complex. In some cases
and in some locations, the display contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may be displayed multiple times.

A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring
repairs.
“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored
results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen.
“ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.”
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned
with its own, individual classification number. This number will
be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, as shown. When
replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for
the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a correct
unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on
the CONSULT-II screen.
After repair, make sure the discriminated number of diagnosis
sensor unit installed to vehicle are same. Refer to SRS-41,
"ECU DISCRIMINATED NO." .
HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE WITH CONSULT-II

TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. Rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noise can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.
