10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
11. Start the engine in the known-good vehicle, and
then do steps 4 thru 10 on the known-good vehicle.
12. Compare the number of stations received in steps 6 and 9 in the client’s vehicle with the number of
stations received in the known-good vehicle.
If the number of stations received is the same, or within 10 %, the audio unit’s tuner performance
is OK. The problem may be atmospheric
conditions, multi path interference, or other
obstructions to the radio signal.
If the customer’s vehicle receives fewer stations by at least 10 %, go to step 2 of poor AM or FM
radio reception of interference, with navigation
(see page 23-196), wit hout navigation (see page
23-199). 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,

General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.

the vehicle, see your dealer.
If you need to replace the navigation unit, you can
back-up the navigation data and transfer it to a new
navigation unit. See Save users memory (see page
23-310).
When the battery is disconnected, the internal GPS clock resets to 0:00. The clock resets to the correct
time after the system finishes GPS initialization.
Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system, and write down the audio presets.
Also obtain any PGM-FI or transmission DTCs and
freeze frame date (which are lost when the ECM/PCM
loses power).
After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get the initial signal from the satellite. It will take from 10
to 45 minutes.
Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.
Before returning the vehicle to the client, enter the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system.
If the navigation system loses power (like the battery
was disconnected), the navigation system requires
initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to
use.
This initialization requires the following: Entering the 4-digit anti-theft security code to unlock the system
GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power)
Map matching to align the GPS to a location on the map Any time the navigation system loses power, you need
to enter the 4-digit anti-theft code on the navigation
system display. This 4-digit code is located on a small
code card that was given to the customer. Enter the 4-
digit code, then select Done.
If the navigation system anti-theft code is missing, use
the interactive Network (iN) to look it up. You need the
serial number for the navigation unit to do this.
You can view the serial number by entering the
diagnostic mode. Select Unit Check from the main
menu, then the ECU info diagnostic screen. This allows
you to get the serial number without removing the
navigation unit.
The iN may display more than one code for a given
serial number. This is because serial numbers are not
unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code.
If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not work
in the navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty
department. If the code 0000 works, replace the
navigation unit.
When replacing the navigation unit or audio unit, make
sure you give the client the new anti-theft security code.
NOTE: You must park the vehicle outside with a clear
view of the southern sky.
Depending on the length of time the battery was
disconnected, your system may require GPS
initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:

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 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 (24P) 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 23-355). 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 23-316).
Check for connectors for poor connections 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 23-297).
