Sound Quality Diagnosis (cont’d)
8. Compare the client’s vehicle’s sound quality results
to the known-good vehicle’s results.
 If the sound quality in the customer’s vehicle is comparable to the sound quality in the known-
good vehicle, then the client’s vehicle is
operating as designed.
 If the sound quality is not comparable, check these items in order.
– Loose or improperly installed speakers or other hardware that may become excited by
the vibrations generated by the speakers
– Poor power or ground to the stereo amplifier (Type S model)
– Damaged speaker(s)
– Faulty amplifier (Type S model)
– Faulty navigation unit
– Faulty audio unit Do this test to check the performance of the audio unit’s
AM and FM reception. Refer to symptom
troubleshooting: audio sound weak or distorted, or no
sound is heard from speakers (display is normal)
(see page 23-39) before continuing with this test.
NOTE:
 Window tint, aftermarket theft-recovery devices and other aftermarket accessories may reduce radio
reception.
 Changes in cloud cover and other atmosphere conditions will affect the ab ility of the navigation unit
or audio unit to receive radio signals.
1. Park the client’s vehicle in an open area away from buildings or other obstructions.
2. Park a known-good vehicle (same year, model, and trim level) next to the client’s vehicle, facing the
same direction.
3. Start the engine in the client’s vehicle, and turn on the radio.

The GPS cannot detect the vehicle’s position during the
following conditions: Metallic window tinting above the GPS antenna.
 When only three satellite signals are received (Four satellite signals are required for accurate positioning).
 When driving near high tension power lines.
 When the satellite signals are blocked by the operation of some electronic aftermarket accessories
including, but not limited to non-OEM in-dash
entertainment units (radio, CD players/changers,
radar detectors and theft recovery systems) and cell
phones placed near the navigation system.
 When the satellite control centers are experiencing problems.
The accuracy of the GPS is reduced during these
instances:  Metallic window tinting above the GPS antenna.
 When only three satellite signals are received (Four satellite signals are required for accurate positioning).
 When driving near high tension power lines.
 When the satellite signals are blocked by the operation of some electronic aftermarket accessories
including, but not limited to non-OEM in-dash
entertainment units (radio, CD players/changers,
radar detectors and theft recovery systems) and cell
phones placed near the navigation system.
 When the satellite control centers are experiencing problems. Whenever the navigation system is giving guidance,
the front speakers are muted. When the voice control
system is being used, all of the speakers are muted.
 In cold temperatures, the display may stay dark for the first 2 or 3 minutes until it warms up.
 When the display is too hot because of direct summer sunlight, it will remain dark until the temperature
drops.
 When the humidity is high and the interior temperature is low, the display may appear cloudy.
The display will clear up after some use.
 Fingerprints on the touch panel may sometimes be noticeable because of the panel’s low-reflection
coating. Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth. You
may use a mild cleaner intended for eye glasses or
computer screens. To avoid scratching the panel, do
not rub too hard, or use abrasive cleaners, or shop
towels.
 The touch panel consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane covering the display. Unlike previous
systems, you must actually touch the display to
activate it. Never use hard or sharp implements to
operate the screen because you risk damaging the
sensing membrane. If a touch switch does not
function immediately, shift your finger slightly, and
touch it again.

NAVIGATION UNIT CONNECTOR D (5P) NAVI GUIDE (GRN)
NOTE: Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Make sure that the correct DVD color and version are installed.
 Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
 Check the connector for poor connection or loose terminals.
 Before troubleshooting, make sure you have the navigation system 4-digit anti-theft code.
 After troubleshooting, enter the navigation system anti-theft code.
Before assuming that a voice complaint is hardware
related, ensure that the voice control system is being
operated correctly.  Make sure you are on the correct screen when trying to issue a voice command. For instance, the
command ‘‘Find the nearest Italian Restaurant’’ only
works on a Map screen (See the Navigation System
Manual for a complete list of allowed voice
commands for the information being displayed.).
 Close the windows, moonroof, and doors.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2).
 Adjust the air flow from the air conditioning vents so that they do not blow against the microphone on the
ceiling.
 Pause after pressing the navigation TALK button, then give a voice command clearly in a natural
speaking voice. If the system cannot recognize your
command, speak louder.
 If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands
correctly.
 If you speak a command with something in your mouth, or your voice is too husky, the system may
misunderstand your command.
 Compare the system operation with a known-good vehicle. Have more than one person test the system
operation. If the known-good vehicle performs the
same, it is a characteristic of the system. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Mic Level
test under Functional Setup (see page 23-147) to
check the operation of the navigation TALK and
navigation BACK buttons.
Go to step 10.
Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Do the voice control switch test (see page 23-156).
Go to step 5.
Replace the voice control switch.
5. Disconnect the cable reel 20P connector and navigation unit connector D (5P).
6. Check for continuity between body ground and navigation unit connector D (5P) terminal No. 4.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the navigation unit and the voice control
switch, or replace the cable reel.
Go to step 7.

GPS Information
23-142Navigation System
System Diagnostic Mode (cont’d)
 ILL-Illumination Indication
(Navigation unit connector A (17P) terminal No. 10)
a) OFF (0) when parking lights, or headlights are off
b) ON (1) when parking lights, or headlights are on
The navigation unit uses the signal to determine
whether to put the navigation screen into the Day or
Night brightness mode. (Setup screen 1)
 Display-this displays the current position of the display
a) (Close) when the display is closed
b) (Open) when the display is open
The navigation unit has a micro switch to detect this. If
open is indicated when the display is closed, replace
the navigation unit. This screen shows the current status of GPS reception.
The circular diagram shows the current location of the
GPS satellites (yellow balls) as they would appear in the
sky. The outer circle represents the horizon (0 degrees
elevation). The middle and inner circles represents 30
and 60 degrees respectively. The very center of the
diagram (90 degrees elevation) is directly overhead.
Nearby obstructions, like tall buildings, will block
satellites in that direction. That is why it is necessary to
be in an open area to effectively troubleshoot GPS
reception issues. The satellites shown on the diagram
correspond to the PRN number in the GPS Details
screen. There are always 24 active GPS satellites in
orbit. Because satellites fail, and have to be removed
from service, spares are always parked in orbit, ready
to be activated. This is why the PRN (satellite ID
number) can be greater than 24.
NOTE:
 When you use this screen for troubleshooting, park the vehicle outside, away from buildings, tall trees,
and high-tension wires for at least 10 minutes with
the engine running.
 Metallic window tinting on the front or side window or after-market electronic accessories mounted near
the navigation unit, GPS antenna, or navigation
display can interfere with GPS acquisition.
 The Number of Satellites box shows the number of acquired satellites (maximum of 12). It should contain
4 or more icons. If not, troubleshoot for GPS icon is
white or not shown (see page 23-122).
 The Current Position shows latitude, longitude, and elevation (in meters). If there are less than 4 satellites,
the elevation can be grossly inaccurate.
 The Date/Time field shows the current date, and also a time that includes daylight savings and other
offsets entered by the client in Setup function Adjust
Time Zone/Clock.
