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 a H onda model profile.
1. Remove the navigation unit (see page 23-355) 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 23-354).
4. Note the software version marked on the navigation DVD label and verity 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 23-355).
Go to step 5.
5. Obtain the correct version DVD (see page 23-269) and install it.
The problem is resolved, troubleshooting is
complete. The system still shows a Honda Globe Screen.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-355). If the displays Open and Close buttons do not work, you
must manually open the display to remove the client’s
Navigation DVD, CD, and possibly their PC card. Follow
to the steps.
1. Remove the navigation unit from the vehicle (see page 23-255).
2. On the bench, carefully pull the display (A) straight out (about 1/2 inch).
3. Fold down the display (A).

Pairing a Cell Phone
23-363
You must pair an approved Bluetooth-compatible
phone to the HFL system before you can make and
receive calls. For a current list of approved phones and
specific phone pairing instructions for each phone, see
Checking Cell Phone Compatibility, go towww.acura.
com/handsfreelink, or call 888-528-7876.
The following procedure works for most phones. If you
cannot pair a phone to the HFL system with this
procedure, refer to the phone’s operating manual, visit
www.acura.com/handsfreelink, or call 888-528-7876.
NOTE:  You cannot pair a phone while the vehicle is moving.
 Your phone must be in Discovery Mode.
 A maximum of six Bluetooth-compatible phones can be paired to the system. 1. With the phone on and the ignition switch in
ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II), press and release the
HFL TALK button. After the beep, say ‘‘Phone setup.’’
The HFL responds, ‘‘Phone setup options are status,
pair, edit, delete, and list.’’
2. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say ‘‘Pair.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘The pairing
process requires operation of your mobile phone.
For safety, only perform this function while the
vehicle is stopped. State a four-digit code for
pairing. Note this code. It will be requested by the
phone.’’
3. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say the four-digit code you want to use. This
can be any four-digit number you want. For
example, say ‘‘1, 2, 3, 4.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘1, 2,
3, 4. Is this correct?’’
4. Press and release the TALK button. After the beep, say ‘‘Yes.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘HFL is now
searching for a Bluetooth phone. Make sure the
phone you are trying to pair is in Discovery mode.’’
If these steps do not work on the phone you are
pairing, refer to the phone’s operating manual.
5. Follow the prompts on your phone to get it into its Discovery mode. The phone will search for the HFL.
When it comes up, select HandsFreeLink from the
list of options displayed on your phone.
6. When asked by the phone, enter the four-digit code from step 3 into your phone. The HFL responds, ‘‘A
new phone has been found. What would you like to
name this phone?’’
7. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say the name you want to use. For example,
say ‘‘Tom’s phone.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘Tom’s
phone has been successfully paired. Returning to
the main menu.’’

DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) Reading the DTC
Precautions
24-22SRS
General Troubleshooting Information
A
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it
to locate the causes of system problems and store this
information in memory. For easier troubleshooting, this
data can be retrieved via a data link circuit.
 When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the SRS indicator comes on. If it goes off after 6 seconds, the
system is normal, and is not currently detecting any
abnormality.
 If there is an abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem, stores this information in
memory, and turns on the SRS indicator. The data
remains in memory even if the ignition switch is
turned off or the battery is disconnected.
 The data is stored in memory as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
 The ‘‘x’’ at the end of each DTC denotes a numeric character (0 thru 9) or an alpha character (A thru F)
that is displayed on the HDS.
 DTCs are either latching or resetting depending on the malfunction. With resetting DTCs, the SRS
indicator goes off the next time the ignition switch is
turned to ON (II), and the system is normal, but the
DTC is still stored. With latching DTCs, the SRS
indicator does not turn to LOCK (0) until the
malfunction is repaired and the DTC is cleared.
 When you connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), you can retrieve a more detailed DTC in the
HDS ‘‘SRS’’ menu.
NOTE: Only read DTCs from the SRS menu, not from
the SWS menus. SWS (ODS unit) DTCs are subcodes
of SRS unit DTCs. Only troubleshoot the
corresponding SRS DTCs.
 After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with the troubleshooting procedure for that code.
 Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. Make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when
switched to the smallest value in the ohmmeter range.
A tester with a higher output could damage the
airbag circuit or cause accidental airbag deployment
and possible injury.  Whenever the ignition switch is in ON (II), or has been
turned to LOCK (0), for less than 3 minutes, be careful
not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
 Before removing the dashboard wire harness, floor wire harness, disconnect the driver’s airbag
connector, the front passenger’s airbag connector,
both side airbag connectors, both side curtain airbag
connectors and both seat belt tensioner connectors.
 Make sure the battery is fully charged. If the battery is dead or low, electrical measurements may not be
correct.
 Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the SRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect
the SRS unit terminals or the sensor terminals with a
jumper wire. Use only the backprobe set and the
multimeter. Backprobe spring-loaded lock type
connectors correctly.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).
