By pressing and holding the MENU button for
2 seconds, a GPS Detail screen appears. This screen
displays real time incoming satellite positional data
when the vehicle is outside in the open. The
information shown on this screen is for factory use.
NOTE: The data shown in an example only.
The box TS/AS and H Dop/V Dop is for factory use.
The Speed and Direction information is updated in real time when driving.
The Date/Time Information is the same as in Setup screen 2 Adjust Time Zone/Clock.
If the 3D icon is shown above the yellow dots, this implies that at least four satellites are available for
map positioning, and the GPS indicator on the map
screen will be green. See the Global Positioning
System detailed explanation in the System
Description.
If the row of data in the table below begins with a yellow dot, the AZI and EL fields can be used to locate
each satellite on the circular GPS diagram (see prior
screen). NOTE: The table of values define the terms at the top of

This diagnostic allows you to graphically display
problems with the yaw rate sensor.
The ANG-Disp value accumulates any differences between the offset and sensor voltages (see Yaw
Rate diagnostic). When the sensor functions properly,
the random changes in these two voltages generally
cancels out, so the value is 0. However if one voltage
is consistently higher than the other, then the ANG-
Disp value accumulates the constant change.
The Reset button temporarily clears the angular accumulation (ANG-Disp), and clears the display dots.
Do not touch the CCW, CW, or Set buttons. These are used for factory setup only.
Two tests are explained below. For large problems with
the sensor values, the stationary test usually confirms
whether the sensor is defective. For yaw rate issues
related to driving, do the road test described below. 1. Stationary test: If the VP icon spins in place and the ANG-Disp value slowly increases or decreases in
value, the yaw rate sensor is defective. Replace the
navigation unit.
2. Road test: Drive the vehicle on a very straight road. Enter the diagnostic mode, select Yaw rate, and
touch the Tuning button. While driving down a
straight road, the white dots should trace a straight
line across the screen. However, if you are driving
on a straight road, and you notice the dots
constantly dropping down or heading up as you
drive, the navigation unit’s yaw sensor is defective.
You can touch Reset to clear ANG-Disp, and dotted
lines.
If either test above fails, please enter Yaw rate
sensor defective for the problem description, on
the Navigation core return form.
NOTE: The CCW, CW and Set buttons are disabled,
and cannot be activated. Use this screen to confirm that the navigation unit is
properly receiving input signals. Signals equal to (0) are
OFF, and signals equal to (1) are ON. If the value on the
display does not match the actual vehicle status, then
check the wire carrying the signal.
VSP-Vehicle Speed Pulse from ECM/PCM (Connector A (24P) terminal No. 15)
a) OFF (0) when vehicle is not moving
b) ON (1) when vehicle is moving
The VSP comes from the ECM/PCM as a dedicated
signal. Internally, the navigation unit compares the
actual VP on the map against street data to adjust the
pulse to speed scaling factor. As this scaling factor
becomes more accurate, the Level gradually increases
from 0 to 10 (see the Tire Calibrate diagnostic screen). BACK-Reverse indication from taillight relay (Connector C (8P) terminal No. 7)
a) OFF (0) when the shift lever is in any position other
than reverse
b) ON (1) when the shift lever is in reverse
The Back signal is used by the navigation unit to allow
the map screen to show the VP moving backwards
when in reverse. This signal is needed because the
Speed Pulse has no direction indication.

Full brightness on the instrument panel brightness control with the head lights turned on causes the
system to stay in the day mode, even when the lights
are on.
1. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is not on full brightness. Turn the headlights on,
and adjust the dash brightness to the middle range.
2. Change the day/night mode under Set-up to AUTO, and recheck.
The system is OK at this time.
Go to step 3.
3. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Car Status test to check for an ILL signal (see page 23-315).
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-355).
Check the ILL circuit between the
navigation unit and the No. 14 (7.5 A) fuse in the
under-dash fuse/relay box. 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.
1. Start the engine, and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

Pairing TroubleshootingPairing Checks
23-364HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many pairing issues are resolved by altering the client’s
phone settings.
Bluetooth feature settings must be turned on. Phone
manufacturers set the default to disable Bluetooth
features to conserve battery life. Cell phones may
provide procedures to Temporary Power On Bluetooth,
or Power On Bluetooth. Turn the Bluetooth feature on,
pair the phone to the vehicle, and confirm the phone is
linked. Do this by turning the phone off and back on.
Make or receive a call to confirm that the cell phone is
successfully paired.
When the phone’s Bluetooth feature is on, other
handsfree accessories such as earpieces or headsets
may automatically reconnect to the phone when you
turn on the accessory or move it within range of the cell
phone. This results in the phone not connecting to the
HFL system when the client’s enters the vehicle. You
must unlink the hands-free accessory from the phone
before the HFL system can reconnect.
Some phones have an Auto Answer setting that
functions with a headset. This setting must be turned
off or the HFL system cannot accept any incoming calls.
When this setting is on, it blocks the HFL system from
answering the call, and the call goes to voice mail. This
can cause the client to think that the cell phone is not
paired properly.
If the HFL system has six phones paired, it will not tell
you that it has reached its maximum, and will not allow
you to pair a new phone. To check how many phones
are paired, press and release the HFL TALK button.
After the beep, say ‘‘Phone setup list.’’ The HFL system
lists every assigned
phone name paired with it, then
finishes by saying ‘‘The entire list has been read.
Returning to the main menu.’’ Count the number of
phones listed. If there are six, you must delete one
phone before adding a new one. For more information about pairing, refer to the cell
phone owner’s manual, or go to handsfreelink.com.
1. Is the cell phone compatible with the HFL?
2. Is the Bluetooth feature turned on?
3. Is the client using the HFL buttons, not the navigation buttons, when pairing?
4. Is the cell phone battery fully charged, and is there good signal strength when pairing?
5. Do a soft reset on the cell phone.
6. If the client is trying to pair a Blackberry
or Palm
Treo device, make sure the client uses the shift
key when entering the pass code. If the shift key is
not pressed, the client may be entering letters. The
HFL does not recognize letters.TM
