 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.

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.

(MP3, WMA, and AAC) on the external device through the audio unit.
Voice coil A coil of wire wrapped around a tube and then attached to the speaker cone or
diaphragm. When an audio signal is applied, the coil becomes an
electromagnet and interacts with the permanent magnet causing the come or
diaphragm to vibrate. We interpret this vibrations as sound.
