GPS Receiver and Clock
23-106 Navigation System
System Description (cont’d)
The global positioning system (GPS) enables the navigation system to determine the current position of the vehicle by
using the signals transmitted from the satellites in orbit around the earth. The sate
llites transmit the satellite
identification signal, orbit information, transmission time signal, and other information. When the GPS receiver
receives a signal from four or more satellites simultaneously, it calculates the current position of the vehicle based on
the distance to each satellite and the satellite’s positions in its respective orbit.
The precision of the GPS varies according to the number of satellites from which signals are received and the view of
the sky. The accuracy is indicated by the color and shape of the GPS icon shown on the display.
No GPS icon None Faulty reception The GPS can’t be utilized due to a faulty GPS receiver, open in the wire, or other
fault or interference.
White GPS icon 2 or less Impossible to detect vehicle positionGPS function is normal. The satellite
signals received by the GPS are too few to
detect the vehicle position.
Green GPS icon 3 Vehicle position detectable in 2 dimensionsThe longitude and latitude of the vehicle
position can be detected. (Less precise
than detection in three dimensions)
4 or more Vehicle position detectable in 3 dimensions (elevation
displayed) The longitude, latitude and the altitude of
the vehicle position can be detected. (More
precise than detection in two dimensions)
The GPS antenna amplifies and transmits the signals received from the satellites to the GPS receiver.
The GPS receiver is built into the navigation unit. It calculates the vehicle position by receiving the signal from the GPS
antenna. The current time vehicle position and signal reception condition is transmitted from the GPS receiver to the
navigation unit to adjust vehicle position.

NOTE: Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Make sure that the correct DVD color and version are installed.
 Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
 Check the connector for poor connection or loose terminals.
 Before troubleshooting, make sure you have the navigation system 4-digit anti-theft code.
 After troubleshooting, enter the navigation system anti-theft code.
Before assuming that a voice complaint is hardware
related, ensure that the voice control system is being
operated correctly.  Make sure you are on the correct screen when trying to issue a voice command. For instance, the
command ‘‘Find the nearest Italian Restaurant’’ only
works on a Map screen (See the Navigation System
Manual for a complete list of allowed voice
commands for the information being displayed.).
 Close the windows, moonroof, and doors.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2).
 Adjust the air flow from the air conditioning vents so that they do not blow against the microphone on the
ceiling.
 Pause after pressing the navigation TALK button, then give a voice command clearly in a natural
speaking voice. If the system cannot recognize your
command, speak louder.
 If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands
correctly.
 If you speak a command with something in your mouth, or your voice is too husky, the system may
misunderstand your command.
 Compare the system operation with a known-good vehicle. Have more than one person test the system
operation. If the known-good vehicle performs the
same, it is a characteristic of the system. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Mic Level
test under Functional Setup (see page 23-147) to
check the operation of the navigation TALK and
navigation BACK buttons.
Go to step 10.
Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Do the voice control switch test (see page 23-156).
Go to step 5.
Replace the voice control switch.
5. Disconnect the cable reel 20P connector and navigation unit connector D (5P).
6. Check for continuity between body ground and navigation unit connector D (5P) terminal No. 4.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the navigation unit and the voice control
switch, or replace the cable reel.
Go to step 7.

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.

If the factory provides a PC card and instructs you to
insert it, the screen displays the Manufacturer, and
Product Name as shown in the following screen. Touch
the FILES button to see the contents of the card.
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.

 ILL-Illumination Indication
(Navigation unit connector A (17P) terminal No. 10)
a) OFF (0) when parking lights, or headlights are off
b) ON (1) when parking lights, or headlights are on
The navigation unit uses the signal to determine
whether to put the navigation screen into the Day or
Night brightness mode. (Setup screen 1)
 Display-this displays the current position of the display
a) (Close) when the display is closed
b) (Open) when the display is open
The navigation unit has a micro switch to detect this. If
open is indicated when the display is closed, replace
the navigation unit. This screen shows the current status of GPS reception.
The circular diagram shows the current location of the
GPS satellites (yellow balls) as they would appear in the
sky. The outer circle represents the horizon (0 degrees
elevation). The middle and inner circles represents 30
and 60 degrees respectively. The very center of the
diagram (90 degrees elevation) is directly overhead.
Nearby obstructions, like tall buildings, will block
satellites in that direction. That is why it is necessary to
be in an open area to effectively troubleshoot GPS
reception issues. The satellites shown on the diagram
correspond to the PRN number in the GPS Details
screen. There are always 24 active GPS satellites in
orbit. Because satellites fail, and have to be removed
from service, spares are always parked in orbit, ready
to be activated. This is why the PRN (satellite ID
number) can be greater than 24.
NOTE:
 When you use this screen for troubleshooting, park the vehicle outside, away from buildings, tall trees,
and high-tension wires for at least 10 minutes with
the engine running.
 Metallic window tinting on the front or side window or after-market electronic accessories mounted near
the navigation unit, GPS antenna, or navigation
display can interfere with GPS acquisition.
 The Number of Satellites box shows the number of acquired satellites (maximum of 12). It should contain
4 or more icons. If not, troubleshoot for GPS icon is
white or not shown (see page 23-122).
 The Current Position shows latitude, longitude, and elevation (in meters). If there are less than 4 satellites,
the elevation can be grossly inaccurate.
 The Date/Time field shows the current date, and also a time that includes daylight savings and other
offsets entered by the client in Setup function Adjust
Time Zone/Clock.
