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
line.
3. If either test fails, please enter ‘‘Yaw rate sensor defective’’ for the problem description, on the
‘‘Navigation core return form’’. As the vehicle moves, the navigation system receives
speed pulses from the ECM/PCM. These pulses are
converted using a conversion factor to a mph speed
that moves the vehicle position (VP) on the map. The
navigation system has an internal tuning function that
generates and refines this factor based on actual
driving. The Level indicates the status of the tuning. At
navigation initialization, it begins at 0, and increases to
10 as the navigation system is used.
The Auto Tuning is factory set to ON, and should remain on.
The Study indicates the tuning status. If it is less than 10, the unit is still calibrating.
The Tire-Cal. Tuning and Set should not be used. It is for factory use only.

Navigation Unit Removal/Installation
A B B
C
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component location (see page 24-11).
Also review the precautions and procedures (see page
24-13) in the SRS section before doing repairs or
service.
NOTE:
Put on gloves to protect your hands.
Take care not to scratch the dashboard and related parts.
Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or
other damage.
Do not work in a dusty or dirty place.
Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work.
Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands.
Do not work with dirty hands.
Be careful not to fold the flat plate cable.
Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands. (If you have touched it,
wipe it off thoroughly.)
Before replacing the navigation unit, make sure to remove the client’s navigation DVD, and their audio
CD, or PC card. Remanufactured navigation units do
not come with a navigation DVD. Re-install the client’s
navigation DVD, audio CD, and audio PC card into the
new Remanufactured unit. If the navigation display
won’t open, manually remove the navigation DVD,
audio CD, and PC card (see page 23-154).
If you are replacing the navigation unit, write down the audio presets (if possible), then enter then into
the new navigation unit.
1. Make sure you have the 4-digit anti-theft code for the navigation system.
2. Eject the DVD from the original navigation unit. To avoid scratching or damaging the DVD, temporarily
place the DVD in a jewel case.
3. Remove the meter inner visor (see page 20-100). 4. Remove the center pocket hole lid and bolts, then
pull out the center panel (A).
5. Disconnect the connectors (B) and the air hose (C), then remove the center panel.

Audio GlossaryItem Definition
23-168Audio System
System Description (cont’d)
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, or
components, components or the entire audio and navigation system may
appear inoperative.
GB (Gigabyte) A unit of memory or disk storage equal to billion bytes (1000 million bytes).
HDD Abbreviation for hard disc drive. They are sensitive to heat and it is not
recommended that they be used in the PC card slot for playing audio files.
Hertz (Hz) The unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second (cps). One kilohertz (kHz)
equals 1,000 cps; one megahertz (MHz) equals 1 million cps.
Integrated amplifier A component that combines a pre amp and a power amp into a single unit. A
receiver combines an integrated amp and a tuner into a single unit.
Jewel case The hard plastic case that contains a compact disc or DVD. Always use a jewel
case to prevent scratches on the underside of a CD or DVD.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) A type of digital display that changes reflectance or transmittance when an electrical field is applied to it.
Memory Circuitry or devices that hold information in electrical or magnetic form, such
as the AM/FM radio presets.
MB (Megabyte) One million bytes. Written as 1 MB. Megabytes are used as a measure of digital
storage space. For example, a CD can hold 650 MB.
Mic An abbreviation for microphone. For vehicles with navigation, the microphone
accepts navigation voice commands to control audio and navigation functions.
MP3 music files MP3 is an audio coding format. MP3 is a popular audio compression format on
the Internet and computers. CDs and PC Cards with these files can be played on
some vehicle’s audio system.
Mute When the navigation gives guidance, the front speakers are muted (no music).
When you use the voice control system, all of the speakers are muted.
Noise Unwanted random sounds like buzzing, hiss, pops, static, whine, etc.
PC card The slot used for playing MP3 and WMA music files. The PC Card is usually a
combination of a small flash card in a PCMCIA adaptor that slides into the slot.
The ATA, SD, and compact flash types of cards have been tested up to 1 GB.
PCMCIA A computer standard for the slot that the PC card slides into. Another term for
the PC card slot.
Processor The part of an audio device that performs tasks/calculations. In the audio unit
the processor handles muting to allow the navi to speak voice commands, and
the decoding/playback of the sound files etc.
Radio A head unit that combines a tuner, a preamplifier, and often a power-amplifier.
Route guidance (RG) Spoken voice used for turn-by-turn navigation from the audio speakers.
SCF (Cold Start Fix) screens These screens are displayed if the system requires a GPS initialization. The vehicle should be moved outside into an open area away from buildings/power
lines.
Stereo A recording of at least two channels where you can hear sound or music from
the left or right side.
SD (Secure Digital) card This compact type of memory card allows for fast data transfer and has built-in security functions. SD cards have a small write-protection switch on the side.
Shield A metallic foil or braided wire layer surr ounding conductors which are
designed to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic interference (noise) from
external sources such as buzzing, or popping sounds heard on the speakers.
Speaker (Loudspeaker) A device that converts electrical energy into acoustical energy (sound).
Speed-sensitive volume
compensation (SVC) The SVC increases the audio volume to compensate for increased interior noise
when the vehicle drivers at freeway speeds.
Subwoofer A loudspeaker made to reproduce the lowest audio frequencies, about 25 Hz to
125 Hz.
