This diagnostic step tests the cables connecting the
navigation components. Ensure that the ignition
switch is in the ON (II) position. When the diagnosis
begins, you hear a bong sound. The system is in a
Detecting mode, and is waiting for all the items in
white to be tested. This includes the voice control
switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the
microphone. Press the navigation TALK button on the
steering wheel, and in a normal voice, say ‘‘testing’’.
The Talk indicator on the screen should turn green,
and the voice level indicator should move to at least
the 6th bar to pass. Next, press the navigation BACK
button. The Cancel indicator should turn green.
If all of the communication lines connecting the system components, and the navigation TALK/BACK
buttons/microphone check out OK (all block diagram
items green), then the OK indicator turns green.
If there is a problem with the system, the faulty system component item turns red, and the screen
shows NG in red. Use the troubleshooting index, and
other diagnostic screens to help locate the problem.
The indicator on the screen may not change until you cycle the ignition switch. After repairing the affected
cable or system, repeat this diagnostic.
NOTE: Green boxes and green OK indicate that the
communications lines (cables) are intact. This
diagnostic does not necessarily imply that the
individual components are functioning properly. For
instance, the GPS antenna wire may be crushed, but
still show as green. A road test, or other diagnostic
maybenecessarytofindtheproblem. Select Return to return to the Diagnostic Menu, or the
Exit Diag button to exit.
NOTE: The Mic Level indicator must reach the 6th bar
or greater to pass the test.

This screen verifies that the navigation display is
receiving the video (R, G, B and Composite sync)
signals properly. The three primary colors should all
appear without distortion. The combination of all three
should produce a central white section. If the picture
has lines in it, or scrolls horizontally or vertically, and
any of the colors are missing, troubleshoot for a
Composite sync and color signal problem (see page
23-120). This screen help diagnoses problems with contrast.
You should be able to see the changes from bar to bar
across the scale. If you can’t see changes from bar to
bar, substitute a known-good navigation unit and retest.
This diagnostic screen checks for pixels that may be
dead (off). The entire display must be white. If pixels
are dead, replace the navigation unit.

The entire display must be black. This diagnostic screen
checks for pixels that may be stuck (on). If pixels are
stuck on, replace the navigation unit.
The chart below shows the colors being used for the
various screens. This is for factory use only. To check
the color signal use the RGB test. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust the
monitor position. This is for factory use only. The
Default button will reset the display position to factory
specifications. The factory default is 0, 0. The H-POS
button is for factory use only.
The panel touch sensing system consists of a touch
sensitive resistive membrane covering the display.
Contrary to other systems using infrared beams, the
screen has to be physically touched to make it work.
The display has the capability of 479 touch locations
(left to right), and 233 touch locations (top to bottom).
The upper left hand corner is position (0, 0) and the
lower right hand corner is (479, 233) as displayed.
Touching anywhere on the screen displays the
coordinate of the location, and a icon appears where
you touched the screen. If any area of the screen either
doesn’t respond, or responds at some other location
when touched, then replace the navigation unit.
NOTE: Unlike earlier screens that used infrared sensors,
direct sunlight will not affect this test.

The display screen uses a touch sensitive membrane.
This means that every location of the entire surface of
the display is touch sensitive. This diagnostic allows
alignment of these touch locations with the location of
the buttons images on the screen.
Normally this should n ever need adjustment, and is
used only to adjust the touch locations for parallax (the
touch locations appear different when viewed at an
angle). However, if an adjustment is necessary, follow
this procedure:
The screen consists of the button icons. Touch the center of the five buttons on order 1 5.
To store any change you make, touch the Set button.
Use the Return key to exit the diagnostic. Select the item you want to check, and the test starts.

This performs additional checks on the communication
bus between navigation CPU and the display. In
addition, the test checks the internal electronic
functions.
If the connection is NG, replace the navigation unit.
Connection verifies internal communications.
Version represents the software version for the display.
This diagnostic screen checks the internals of the radio
(AM and FM) and CD player. If NG, replace the
navigation unit. This screen looks for problems with the navigation unit.
When you initiate this diagnostic, the navigation unit
may freeze of delay up to a minute while the diagnostic
runs.
If V-RAM or D-RAM is NG, then replace the navigation unit.
If GPS indicates NG (ANT), check the entire GPS antenna wire from the navigation unit to the antenna.
If the wire is crushed or damaged, try a known-good
antenna. If this diagnostic reads OK, then order a new
GPS antenna. If the diagnostic still reads NG (ANT),
replace the navigation unit.
DVD ROM represents the database version on the DVD. You can also find this information in setup by
selecting System Information.
Serial No. should be the same as the serial number found on the underside of the navigation unit. You
need this number to obtain the security code from the
Interactive Network system.
Mem Clear is for factory use, and should never be used unless instructed by the factory. Accidental
selection will erase the client’s personal data, PINS,
and settings. If selected, a popup box appears asking
if you want to clear the memory. If so, select Yes.

This diagnostic screen checks the status of each of the
hard buttons surrounding the navigation display. When
you press each hard button, the corresponding item on
the screen should flash blue. Touch the return key, or
press and hold the joystick to exit.
NOTE: It is normal for the VOL ( , ) CH ( , ) and
MODEbuttontobeinactive. Use this screen to confirm that 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 (Navigation unit connector A (17P) terminal No. 13)
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.
BACK-Reverse indication from taillight relay (Navigation unit connector C (12P) terminal No. 7)
a) OFF (0) when shift lever is in any position other
than reverse
b) ON (1) when 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 and to trigger the optional rear view
camera. This signal is needed because the Speed Pulse
does not provide any directional information to the
system.
ILLCANCEL a) OFF (0) when the dash lights brightness control
button is less than 90 % brightness with the
headlights turned on.
b) ON (1) when the dash lights brightness control
button is more than 90 % brightness with the
headlights turned on.
