23-266Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information
Refer to the navigation system manual for the
navigation system operating procedures.
The navigation system and audio unit have a coded
theft protection circuit. Make sure you have the anti-
theft security code before:
Disconnecting the battery.
Disconnecting the navigation unit connector A (24P) and C (8P).
Removing the No. 23 (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit,
and turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Enter the 4-digit
anti-theft security code, then select Done.
If the code cannot be found, use the interactive Network
(iN) to look it up. You can view the serial number in one
of the ECU Info diagnostic screens (see page 23-305).
Alternatively, you can find the serial number on the
underside label which is located on the navigation unit
in the trunk.
When replacing the navigation unit, be sure to give the
customer the new anti-theft security code.
Certain circumstances and system limitations will result
in occasional vehicle positioning errors. Some client’s
may think this indicates a problem with the navigation
system when, in fact, the system is normal. Keep the
following items in mind when interviewing client’s
about symptoms of the navigation system.
The limitations of the self-inertial portion of the
navigation system (the yaw rate sensor and the vehicle
speed signal) can cause discrepancies between the
vehicle’s actual position and the indicated vehicle’s
position (GPS vehicle position). The following circumstances may cause vehicle
positioning errors:
Moving the vehicle with the engine stopped and the vehicle stopped, such as by ferry or tow truck, or if
the vehicle is spun on a turn table.
Tire slippage, changes in tire rolling diameters, and some driving situations may cause discrepancies in
travel distances. Examples of this include:
– Continuous tire slippage on a slippery surface
– Driving with snow chains mounted
– Abnormal tire pressure
– Incorrect tire size
– Frequent lane changes across a wide highway
– Continuous driving on a straight or gently curving highway
– Very bumpy roads
Tolerances in the system and map inaccuracies sometimes limit how precisely the vehicle’s position
is indicated. Examples of this include:
– Driving on roads not shown on the map (map matching is not possible)
– Driving on a road that winds in one direction, such as a loop bridge, an interchange, or a spiral parking
garage
– Driving on a road with a series of sharp hair-pin turns
– Driving near a gradual highway exit or transition
– Driving on one of two close parallel roads
– Making many 90 degree turns
The GPS cannot detect the vehicle’s position or
elevation during the following instances: For the first 5 to 10 minutes after reconnecting the battery (this process can take as long as 45 minutes).
When the satellite signals are blocked by tall buildings, mountains, tunnels, large trees, inside
parking structures or large trucks.
When the GPS antenna is blocked by metallic window tinting or by an object placed above it in the
vehicle. The GPS antenna requires a clear
unobstructed view of the sky.
When there is no satellite signal output (signal output is sometimes stopped for sate llite servicing).
When the satellite signals are blocked by the operation of some electronic aftermarket accessories
including, but not limited to non-OEM in-dash
entertainment units (radio, CD players/changers,
radar detectors and theft recovery systems) and cell
phones placed near the navigation system.

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:

procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds
directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization,
the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and
obtains their orbital information. During this procedure
the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view
of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly,
this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position, the
following screen appears.
It this screen appears, turn off the engine, then restart
the vehicle and move it to a different location. If the
disclaimer screen appears, the GPS initialization is
complete.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears
again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-341).
Skip to a CSF screen by pushing the MENU and INFO buttons at the same time and can move to an System
Links screen.
This part of the initialization matches the GPS
coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this
part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation
system is displays a map, and drive the vehicle on a
mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a
destination at this time. When the name of the current
road you are driving on, appears at the bottom of the
screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system
is now ready to use. If the Navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a
yearly
updated DVD, you have two ways to purchase
one. You can either call 888-549-3798, or order on-line
at www.acura.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD cannot be
ordered through the parts system. The following DVDs
will not work in this navigation system:
Earlier model navigation DVDs (black, orange, light blue label and the older versions with a white label)
Map software programs manufactured by other companies
DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the
fall of each year. They may contain the following: Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
Fixes for minor software bugs
Additional features
NOTE: Map matching must be done any time the DVD is removed or replaced.
Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD may
undergo a half a dozen software only version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remain
unchanged.
Never promise your customer future free updates.
There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The online DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available.
Damaged discs are not covered by warranty unless they have been damaged by the navigation system.
