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
the columns in the GPS Detail screen.

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.

NOTE: Check the vehicle battery condition first.

Check the connector for poor connection or loose terminals.
Before troubleshooting, make sure you have the navigation system anti-theft codes.
After troubleshooting, enter the anti-theft codes for the navigation system.
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 like known-good vehicle performs
the same, if is a characteristic of the system. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Go into the Self-Diagnosis Mode select, Mic Icon
Menu, and use the Mic Level test under Functional
Setup (see page 23-309) to check the operation of
the navigation Talk and Back buttons.

5. Disconnect the HFL-voice control switch 5P connector and navigation unit connector D (12P).
6. Check for continuity between body ground and navigation unit connector D (12P) terminal No. 1.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
