Function Test
A
B
About 2.0 V About 6 V About 11 V
About 8.5 V
About 4.2 V
NOTE:
Be careful not to scratch or damage the defogger wires with the tester probe.
Before testing, check the No. 8 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 36 (10 A) fuse
in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
1. Measure the voltage between the positive terminal (A) and body ground with the ignition switch turned
to ON (II) and the defogger switch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
If there is no voltage, check for: – Faulty rear window defogger relay.
– Faulty climate control unit.
– An open in the RED wire to the positive terminal.
If there is voltage, go to step 2. 2. Disconnect the negative terminal (B) from the rear
window defogger.
3. Check for continuity between the negative terminal and body ground.
If there is no continuity, check for an open in the
wire or poor ground (G 801). If there is continuity,
go to step 4.
4. Reconnect the negative terminal to the rear window defogger.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and the rear window defogger switch ON.
6. Touch the voltmeter positive probe to each point on each defogger wire, and the negative probe to
the negative terminal.
If the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire up to that point is OK.
If the voltage is not as specified, repair the defogger wire.
– If it is more than specified at one of the points, there is a break in the negative half of the wire.
– If it is less than specified at one of the points, there is a break in the positive half of the wire.

The GA-Net bus passes audio and navigation commands throughout the navigation and audio components.
These commands include navigation touch screen and hard button signals, audio/XM selections by voice, and XM
station and music title names. Because the entire bus is daisy chained between components (see diagram), any open
or short in the GA-Net bus harness will cause any or all of these functions to become inoperative. The addition of any
audio accessory must maintain the continuity of the GA-Net bus by installing the Y cable included with the accessory
kit.

DETECTION
CIRCUIT
The navigation system is composed of the navigation unit, the ECM/PCM (vehicle speed signal), the GPS antenna, the
microphone, the voice control switch, the XM receiver, and the climate control unit.
These units communicate with each other on the GA-Net bus.
The vehicle speed pulse is sent by the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM receives a signal from the countershaft speed sensor,
then it processes the signal, and transmits it to the speedometer and other systems.

Glossary
Item Definition
23-109
The following is a glossary of terms pertaining to the Voice Recognition Navigation System.Active noise cancellation
(ANC) The active noise cancellation system cancels some of the vehicle noise. This occurs in the 1,500 2,400 rpm
range. Microphones detect the low frequency sound, and the system outputs a canceling sound from the audio
speaker.
Address Book The HFL system can import a copy of the phone book from and approved HFL compatible phone and display the imported phone book on the navigation screen as the address book. See the Owner’s Manual for more
information.
B-CAN Body CAN Bus (see CAN)
Bread-crumbs (White
dots) Off road tracking dots that can be followed on the map to retrace your route back to a mapped (digitized) road.
This function can be turned on/off in Setup screen 1.
CAN Controller Area Network. This communication network allows processors in the vehicle to send/receive information. The fuel pulses used by the MID trip computer are received from the ECM/PCM using the F-CAN
(Fast Controller Area Network) bus.
CPU Central Processing Unit. The main device within the navigation unit that coordinates the rest of the electronic functions.
CSS Countershaft (Output) Speed Sensor. This sensor reads the output shaft speed at the transmission and provides a speed pulse to the ECM/PCM.
Database This consists of the Map data, and the POI (Points Of Interest) data stored on the DVD.
DBW Drive By Wire. Allows electrical control of the throttle without the need of a mechanical linkage.
DCA Detailed Coverage Area. Main metropolitan areas in the Lower 48 states, and Canada are mapped to this level. See the navigation system manual for a list of these areas.
DTC DTC Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Use HDS tablet to obtain, and troubleshoot the cause of these codes.
Dead reckoning The use of the speed signal, and yaw rate sensor to position the vehicle on the map even when tall buildings, or driving in a tunnel obscures the GPS signal.
Digitized road A road that appears on the navigation screen. The road name appears at the bottom of the navigation screen. If the user drives off road, the navigation system displays not on a digitized road, and after 1/2 mile, the bread-
crumbs appear.
Disclaimer screen Screen containing cautionary information. It is meant to be read carefully and acknowledged by the customer when using the navigation system.
DVD or DVD-ROM Digital Versatile Disk. The navigation program and database resides on this disk. See the Navigation Owner’s Manual for information on how to order a replacement or an update DVD.
ECM Engine Control Module. Typically referred to as the ECM.
FAQ Frequently Asked Questions. See the navigation system manual for a list of the customer FAQs, and troubleshooting information.
F-CAN Fast CAN Bus (see CAN)
GA-NET The GA-NET allows the audio unit to communicate with all the audio and navigation components in a vehicle. If there is an open in the GA-NET, components or the entire audio and navigation system may appear inoperative.
GPS Global Positioning System. A network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. The navigation system can simultaneously receive signals from up to 12 satellites to accurately position the vehicle on the map.
HDS Honda Diagnostic System. A hand held tablet PC used for diagnosing vehicle problems. This device can be used to obtain DTC codes for diagnosis of the navigation system and CAN related problems.
HFL HandsFreeLink uses Bluetooth technology as a wireless link between it and an approved Bluetooth compatible cell phone. See the vehicle Owner’s manual or Quick Start Guide for more information.
HIP (AcuraLink) Honda Information Platform (see AcuraLink)
H/U Head Unit. The audio unit in the dash.
Initialization This refers to the period needed to re-acquire the GPS satellite orbital information whenever the navigation system power has been disconnected. This can take from 10 to 45 minutes.
Interface Dial This control device consists of a rotating knob and the buttons surrounding it. This device allows control of the navigation, audio, and climate functions displayed on the screen.
Jog Dial See interface dial.
