 Check for loose retainers (A) and rubber seals (B).
 The backs of some connectors are packed with dielectric grease. Add grease if necessary. If the
grease is contaminated, replace it.
 Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is securely locked.
 Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces down.  Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations.
 Remove clips carefully; don’t damage their locks (A).
 After installing harness clips, make sure the harness doesn’t interfere with any moving parts.
 Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust components and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets and
holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
 Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).

22-142 Keyless/Power Door Locks/Security System
Transmitter Test/Replacement
A
NOTE:
 If the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the LED
is faulty; replace the transmitter.
 If any door is open, you cannot lock the doors with the transmitter.
 If you unlocked the doors with the transmitter, but do not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the
doors relock automatically.
 The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch.
1. Press the lock or unlock button five or six times to reset the transmitter.
 If the locks work, the transmitter is OK.
 If any of the transmitter buttons do not work, replace the transmitter, then do the transmitter
programming registration (see page 22-329).
 If the locks don’t work, go to step 2.
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
3. Select the KEYLESS from the BODY ELECTRICAL menu, then enter the KEYLESS CHECK.
4. Press lock, unlock, trunk, or panic button and check the response on the screen of the HDS.
NOTE: The door lock actuators may or may not
cycle when receiving input from the transmitter.
 If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS RECEIVED is indicated, the transmitter is OK. Go
to keyless operation troubleshooting (see page
22-127).
 If DIFFERENT KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS RECEIVED is indicated, the transmitter is
not registered to the vehicle, if necessary,
reprogram and register the transmitter (see page
22-329).
 If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS NOT RECEIVED is indicated, go to step 5. 5. Open the transmitter and check for water damage.
 If you find any water damage, replace thetransmitter, then reprogram and register the
transmitter (see page 22-329).
 If there is no water damage, go to step 6.
6. Replace the transmitter battery (A) with a new one, and press lock or unlock button and check the
receive condition on the screen of the HDS.
 If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS RECEIVED is indicated, the transmitter is OK.
 If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS NOT RECEIVED is indicated, go to step 7.

How to Identify Navigation DVD Versions,
and How to Inspect A DVD for Damage
23-96Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
To determine the navigation version on a particular
model, start the engine, then locate the navigation unit.
Open the DVD door, and push the eject button to eject
the DVD. Hold the DVD by the edges, and check for
these items:
 The DVD label color.
 Read the DVD version on the label, and note it on the repair order. The version number is near the bottom
of the label text (for example, ver: 4.23A). You will
need this version number:
– To verify that the DVD version is appropriate for the vehicle. Check any official Honda service website
for more service information.
– Any time you call Tech Line regarding a navigation system issue.
– To answer client inquires concerning update or coverage issue.
NOTE: Clients may obtain DVDs from sources
outside the normal ordering process. If you
determine this is the case, recommend that your
client purchase the appropriate DVD from the
Honda Disc Fulf illment Center (see ORDERING A
DVD).
– Check the underside of the DVD for signs of mishandling. Deep scratches, or random scratches,
light swirl marks, or fingerprints can cause random
lock-ups, reboots, erratic voice response, erratic
positioning errors, and DVD read or format errors.
NOTE: A damaged DVD is not covered under
warranty unless the disc is damaged by the
navigation unit. Damage by the navigation unit
typically appears as circular scratches caused by
something rubbing against the DVD as it spins. The
damage may appear as arcs or complete circles on
the DVD reading surface.
– Verify that the underside of the DVD is silver, and not a copy with a blue color. Copies will not work
properly and can cause other symptoms that mimic
hardware problems.  Incorrectly colored DVDs being put into navigation
vehicles. This causes the system to either display
error messages, or causes system malfunctions that
mimic a hardware problem. This results in the client
leaving with a malfunctioning navigation system.
 The DVD version provided to the client is out-of date or incompatible with a particular model. This
inconveniences your client by delaying the repair, or
by causing additional (and unnecessary) returns to
your dealership.
 The client experiences bugs or other issues that have already been resolved in later versions currently
available at the fulfillment desk.
If the DVD is defective, or has any of the issues
mentioned above, return the vehicle to your client and
recommend that they order the proper DVD from the
Honda Disc Fulf illment Center (see ORDERING A DVD).
NOTE: Navigation DVDs do not come with replacement
navigation units. If you are replacing a navigation unit
because it is defective (following appropriate service
manual troubleshooting), and the DVD does not eject,
order a DVD. See Obtaining a navigation DVD.
