NOTE:
Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
Before troubleshooting, get the navigation system anti-theft code, then write down the audio presets.
After troubleshooting, re-enter the anti-theft code, and re-initialize the navigation system, then enter the
audio presets.
Check for aftermarket accessories that use the same power circuit. A feedback can cause this problem.
1. Remove the key from the ignition.
Go to step 2.
The system is OK at this time.
2. The vehicle may have been used as a demonstration vehicle at an event like an auto
show. In these events, power is often jumpered to
the navigation system so that the ignition key is not
needed in the vehicle. At the end of the show, the
jumper wire may not have been removed. Check
the navigation unit connector A (17P) for a non-
factory jumper wire in series with the factory cable.
Remove the jumper wire, and re-test. Return
the jumper wire to Tech Line.
Go to step 3.
3. Check if the audio unit works.
Troubleshoot the ACC circuit for a short to
power with another circuit.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-155). NOTE:
Check the vehicle battery condition first.
Verify that the correct navigation unit is installed for this model. Go into the Diagnostic mode and use
Version (see page 23-149).
Check for connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
Before troubleshooting, make sure you have anti- theft codes for the navigation system.
After troubleshooting, enter the anti-theft codes for the navigation system.
Make sure that the correct navigation DVD color and version are installed.
Inspect the navigation DVD for dirt or damage.
Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
1. Make sure the anti-theft code for the navigation system is entered.
2. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Navi System Link test (see page 23-136).
Do the troubleshooting for the voice

NOTE: The navigation DVD and the navigation unit are
correct for the vehicle, but earlier and possibly later
versions of the navigation software may have been
installed. When this happens, the software may not be
recognized by the navigation unit, and could cause the
navigation unit to revert to an Acura model profile.
1. Remove the navigation unit (see page 23-155) and verify that the part number printed on the
navigation unit label is the correct one for the year/
model vehicle you are working on.
Go to step 2.
Replace the navigation unit with the correct
unit for the year/model vehicle you are working
on.
2. Reinstall the navigation unit.
3. Remove the navigation DVD (see page 23-155).
4. Note the software version marked on the navigation DVD label and verify if it is the correct
version for the vehicle year/model you are working
on by checking any official Honda service website
for more service information about the navigation
system and navigation software.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-155).
Go to step 5.
5. Obtain the correct version DVD (see page 23-94), and install it.
The problem is resolved, troubleshooting is
complete. The system still shows an Honda Globe
Screen. Replace the navigation unit (see page
23-155). 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Press and hold the Menu, the Map/Guide, and the
Cancel buttons, for about 3 seconds. The display
screen then goes directly to the Diagnostic Menu.
