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).

How to Identify Navigation DVD Versions,
and How to Inspect A DVD for Damage
23-271
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: Check any official Acura service website for more service information about the navigation DVDs.
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: Client’s may obtain DVDs from sources
outside the normal ordering process. If you
determine this is the case, recommend that your
customer purchase the appropriate DVD from the
Acura Disc Fulfillment 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
Acura Disc Fulfillment Center.
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.

GPS ICONCOLOR NUMBER OF
SATELLITES CONDITION DESCRIPTION

GPS Receiver and Clock
23-284 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.

Please press the center of’’ ’’button.
This diagnostic screen checks for pixels that may be
stuck on. The entire display must be black. If pixels are
stuck on, replace the navigation unit.
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 does not affect this 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.

This diagnostic screen checks for pixels that may be
dead (off). The entire display must be white. If there are
dead pixels, replace the navigation unit.
This allows you to center the navigation display. Use
the joystick to move the picture up/down or left/right. It
is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust the monitor
position. The Default button resets the display position
to factory specifications. The factory default is 0, 0 The
H-POS button is for factory use only.
If you touch the any icons on the screen, the icon
changes the color while pressing the icon. If any icons
of the screen doesn’t respond, replace the navigation
unit.
