System Description (cont’d)
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display (the navigation screen)
Map matching The received GPS information allows the navigation system to position the vehicle on the map. Map matching
has occurred if the map screen displays the current street name in the bottom-shaded area.
Mic Abbreviation for the microphone used for receiving voice commands. It is located near the map light in the
ceiling. The ANC circuit may also use it to check its tuning.
MID Multi-Information Display
MW Maneuver Window. While on-route to a destination, this window displays information about the next maneuver.
Navi Abbreviation for the Navigation System.
Off-road tracking See bread-crumbs.
Off route Off route This occurs when the user leaves mapped roads. Off road tracking dots (bread-crumbs) are displayed if
the option is enabled in the setup menu. The user can use them to return to a mapped road. The bottom of the
navigation screen displays Not on a digitized road.
Outlying areas These are rural areas that typically have only their main roads mapped. All other roads are shown in light brown
for reference only, since they have not been verified.
Paired Linking your cell phone to the HFL.
PC Card slot PC Card Slot The PC Card (PCMCIA, type II) slot is for factory use only. Make sure that the sliding door is closed at
all times, if opened, an error message is displayed on the screen.
PCM Powertrain Control Module. This unit supplies the navigation system speed signal, also refered to as PCM.
PCMCIA A computer industry defined term referring to the PC Card slot standard.
PIN Personal Identification Number, a random 4 digit number created by the customer to protect personal
information.
POI Point Of Interest. These are the businesses, schools, etc. found under the places option on the main menu.
Polygon Colored areas on the map screen denoting parks, schools, etc. See the Navigation System Manual Driving to
Your Destination for a list of the assigned colors.
QWERTY Keyboard layout resembling the typewriter keys. The keyboard layout can be changed to an alphabetical layout
in the Setup mode.
SCS connector The service check signal 2-pin connector used to put the navigation system into the diagnostic mode.
Security code Code needed to activate the navigation system. You can get the security code from the iN by entering the
navigation unit serial number. You can find the serial number on the diagnostic screens (unit check, Navi ECU),
or on the underside of the navigation unit.
Tuning A continual update of internal navigation system scaling factors. See the individual sensor tuning discussions
under either System Description, or System Diagnosis Mode (see page 23-135).
Unverified Streets These streets have not been verified for turn restrictions, one-way, etc. They appear light brown on the map. You can enter address destinations in these areas, but depending on your Unverified Routing choice in setup, voice
guidance may end at the last verified street closest to your destination.
USB Universal Serial Bus. the USB is used for playing the compressed audio files (MP3, WMA, and AAC) on the
external device through the audio unit.
Verified streets These streets consist of the detailed metropolitan coverage areas, and all other inter-town connection roads.
These roads are shown in black or red on the map. (interstates are red)
VP Vehicle Position. When in map mode, this circular icon shows the vehicle position on the map.
VR Voice Recognition. This allows voice control of many of the navigation functions. The hardware consists of the
microphone, voice control switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the center speaker. See the overview for
more information.
VSP Vehicle Speed Pulse. This pulse signal coming from the PCM (via the CSS) is used to update the Vehicle position
on the map. These pulses do not indicate direction (forward or backward). When in reverse, the navigation
receives a signal and directs the VP to move backwards on the map.
XM This device receives information from the XM satellites and passes XM audio information to the audio unit. In
addition, traffic information is sent to the navigation unit.
Yaw Sensor This device is located in the navigation system control unit and senses the side-to-side twisting force generated
when the vehicle turns. See a detailed description of how this sensor works in system description.

Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
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 for aftermarket accessories.
1. Check the GPS icon on the navigation picture.
Do the troubleshooting for GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-122).
Go to step 2.
2. Go into the Diagnostic Menu, and use the Yaw Rate test (see page 23-144) to check the yaw rate sensor.
3. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Car Status test (see page 23-141) to check the vehicle speed
pulse.
The problem may be a normal characteristic.
Check to see if the problem occurs in the same
place. If it does, the problem could be in the
database. Compare to a known-good vehicle under
the same conditions. If you can duplicate the
problem, report it. Refer to the client Assistance
section of the Navigation User’s Guide, ‘‘Reporting
Errors’’.
If the problem is the yaw rate sensor, replace
the navigation unit (see page 23-155). If the
problem is the vehicle speed pulse, troubleshoot
the vehicle speed signal circuit. NOTE:
 Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 This symptom is usually caused by a defective yaw rate sensor. Perform this diagnostic when the vehicle
is cold and warm.
 Also refer to symptom troubleshooting for GPS icon is white or not shown (see page 23-122).
1. Go into the Diagnostic Menu, and use the Yaw Rate test (see page 23-144).
The system is OK.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-155).

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.

NOTE:
Push and hold the Map/Guide button, and the dots on
the diagram are replaced with the PRN (satellite
numbers). These numbers correspond to the numbers
in the PRN column on the GPS details screen. By pressing and holding the MENU button for
10 seconds, a GPS Detail screen appears. This screen
displays real time incoming satellite positional data.
Most of the information shown on this screen is for
factory use, however some of the data can indicate
partial GPS signal interference.
NOTE: The data shown is an example only.
 The box TS/AS and HDop/VDop is for factory use.
 The Speed and Direction information is updated in real time when driving, and can be used to detect
intermittent speed sensor problems.
 The Date/Time Information is the same as in Setup screen 2 Adjust Time Zone/Clock.
 If the 3D icon is shown above the yellow dots, this implies that at least 4 satellites are available for map
positioning, and the GPS indicator on the map screen
will be green. See the Global Positioning System
detailed explanation in the System Description
(see page 23-106).
 If the row of data in the table below begins with a yellow dot, the AZI and EL fields can be used to locate
each satellite PRN on the circular GPS diagram (see
prior screen).

ACC N/A This diagnostic checks the yaw rate sensor in the
control unit. This device detects when the vehicle turns,
and repositions the vehicle position icon on the map
screen. For more detailed information, see the yaw rate
sensor theory of operation under System Description
(see page 23-105).
 Sensor indicates the voltage output from the yaw rate sensor. It should indicate about 2.500 V when the
vehicle is stopped.
 Offset is the reference voltage or standard within the yaw rate sensor. It also should indicate about 2.500 V
when the vehicle is stopped.
 A sensor output voltage LOWER than the Offset voltage indicates that the vehicle is turning to the
right.
A sensor output voltage HIGHER than the Offset
voltage indicates that the vehicle is turning to the left.
 The yaw rate offset and sensor should both indicate about 2.500 V when the vehicle is stopped. If either
reads zero or 5.000 V, replace the navigation unit.

 The yaw rate offset and sensor should be within /
0.01 V of each other when the vehicle is stopped. The
sensor value should change relative to the offset as
the vehicle turns while driving. If not, replace the
navigation unit.

The settings CCW Cal Factor, CW Cal Factor, and Set
are for factory use only. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE
USED.
NOTE: Do not try to adjust the yaw rate sensor without
instructions from the factory. See next paragraph for
tuning. This diagnostic allows you to graphically display
problems with the yaw rate sensor.
 The ANG-Disp value accumulates any differences between the offset and sensor voltages (see Yaw
Rate diagnostic). When the sensor functions properly,
the random changes in these two voltages generally
cancels out, so the value is 0. However if one voltage
is consistently higher than the other, then the ANG-
Disp value accumulates the constant change.
 The Reset button temporarily clears the angular accumulation (ANG-Disp), and clears the display dots.
 Do not touch the CCW or CW, or Set buttons. These are used for factory setup only.
For serious problems with the sensor, the stationary
test usually confirms whether the sensor is defective.
For yaw rate issues related to driving, perform the road
test described.

1. Stationary test: If the VP icon spins in place and the ANG-Disp value slowly increases or decreases in
value, the yaw rate sensor is defective. Replace the
navigation unit.
2. Road test: Drive the vehicle on a very straight road. Enter the diagnostic mode, select Yaw rate, and
touch the Tuning button. While driving down a
straight road, the white dots should trace a straight
line across the screen. However, if you are driving
on a straight road, and you notice the dots
constantly dropping down or heading up as you
drive, the navigation unit’s yaw sensor is defective.
You can touch Reset to clear ANG-Disp, and dotted
line.
3. If either test fails, please enter ‘‘Yaw rate sensor defective’’ for the problem description, on the
‘‘Navigation core return form’’. As the vehicle moves, the navigation system receives
speed pulses from the ECM/PCM. These pulses are
converted using a conversion factor to a mph speed
that moves the vehicle position (VP) on the map. The
navigation system has an internal tuning function that
generates and refines this factor based on actual
driving. The Level indicates the status of the tuning. At
navigation initialization, it begins at 0, and increases to
10 as the navigation system is used.
 The Auto Tuning is factory set to ON, and should remain on.
 The Study indicates the tuning status. If it is less than 10, the unit is still calibrating.
 The Tire-Cal. Tuning and Set should not be used. It is for factory use only.
