Special Tools Required
Electrical Noise Test
23-252
Audio System
Sound Quality Diagnosis (cont’d)
Diagnostics CD 07AAZ-SDBA100
Do this test to check for electrical noise being induced
into the audio system.
NOTE: Electrical noise may be caused by outside
sources that cannot be handled by the audio system.
Make sure you remove any cell phones and/or turn off
any aftermarket device before beginning this test.
1. Insert the diagnostics CD (T/N: 07AAZ-SDBA100) into the navigation unit or audio unit.
2. Play track No. 4 (digital zero) at a normal, or slightly higher than normal, volume level.
3. Operate any electrical device that may create electrical noise in the audio system, including
starting the engine.
4. Play track No. 5 (near digital zero) at a normal, or slightly higher than normal, volume level.
5. Operate any electrical device that may create electrical noise in the audio system, including
starting the engine.
6. Play track No. 6 (SNR) at a normal, or slightly higher than normal, volume level. 7. Operate any electrical device that may create
electrical noise in the audio system, including
starting the engine.
 If no abnormal noise is heard, go to individual speaker test.
 If the noise is present only during the SNR track, replace the navigation unit or audio unit.
 If the noise is heard during the digital zero or near digital zero track, check for;
– Poor ground for the audio unit, amplifier, engine or battery cable
– Pinched or shorted speaker or amplifier wire
– Faulty amplifier (Type S model)
– Faulty navigation unit
– Faulty audio unit
– Other faulty components causing excessive electrical noise (ignition coils, alternator, door
lock actuators, etc.). Disconnect any suspect
components, and then replay the tracks that
were originally noisy. If the noise is gone,
check the component’s circuit and the
component.

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.

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:

How to Answer Client Questions About
Navigation CoverageHow do I find the local address of a business
that is part of a national chain (for example,
Starbucks)?
Precaution on Client ‘‘Sneak Previews’’
Is my address covered by the navigation system?
Is my city covered by the navigation system?
The gas station on my corner is now a restaurant. Why
is it still incorrect in the navigation system?
23-272Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Some clients may ask questions regarding a city,
address, or POI (point of interest) covered by the
navigation system. It is better to verify a coverage
question on an actual vehicle than to disappoint your
client by promising coverage that may be incomplete or
missing in their area. The following suggestions can be
used to answer coverage inquiries from your client.
Using a current production vehicle (of the same model),
try and enter the client’s address (street first) to see if
their area is covered. Always enter the street first,
because sometimes their city may be included in a
neighboring township, or under some larger
metropolitan city name. If the address is shown in a
later year vehicle, but not your client’s vehicle, you
might recommend that your client purchase an update.
For general questions about whether a city is covered,
view the map coverage link on the DVD order site. On
the site, select a year, and select a model, then click on
the Coverage link. You then select a state or province,
and the cities are listed. Of course, this does not
guarantee that the customer’s road or address is in the
system. Verifying on an actual production vehicle is
always the best guarantee that your information is
accurate.
For POI-related client questions, explain that
businesses are constantly moving, and there can be a
considerable lag in updating the m
illions of POIs in the
system. The database is updated annually, and the best
way to the verify whether the POI is accurate is verify
the inquiry on a current production vehicle.
Answers to these and other questions regarding
coverage can be found in these locations:
 In the Frequently Asked Questions section of the navigation system manual.
 At the online DVD order site, by clicking on the FAQs link. There are three ways to find the local address to
businesses:
 If you know the phone number of the business, select Phone Number and enter the 10 digit phone number
(area code plus seven digit number).
 Select Category, then Restaurant. Enter the keyword Star. The resulting list includes all restaurants that
have the letters Star anywhere in the name.
 Select Name and enter Starbucks. For more common business names, like McDonalds, you may have to
search through a list that includes other businesses
like McDonalds Welding, McDonalds Automotive, etc.
Your client might request a look (or sneak preview) at
features in the latest navigation software. You should
never preview a navigation DVD in a client’s vehicle.
Inserting a newer DVD installs the latest software from
the DVD into the memory of the client’s navigation
system. When the original DVD is reinstalled, the newer
software remains in memory and is often incompatible
with the client’s original DVD Map and POI database, or
software.
If your client wishes to see the latest navigation
coverage or software features, demonstrate it on an in-
stock vehicle that already has the latest DVD version.
If a newer version is loaded either by the dealer or the
client, the only remedy is to enter the navigation
diagnostic mode’s Version screen and do a forced
download. Check any official Honda service website for
more information about what patches may need
reinstalling.
