General Operation
Anti-theft Feature
Symptom DiagnosisSelf-Inertial Navigation Limitations
23-90Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information
Refer to the Navigation System manual for the
navigation system operating procedures.
The navigation system has a coded theft protection
circuit. Be sure you have the client’s anti-theft security
code before;
Disconnecting the battery
Disconnecting the navigation unit A (17P) and C (12P) connector
Removing the No. 23 (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box
After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit,
and turn the ignition switch ON (II). Enter the 4-digit
anti-theft security codes, then select Done.
If the code cannot be found, use the interactive Network
(iN) to look it up. You can view the serial number in one
of the Navi ECU diagnostic screen (see page 23-139).
Alternatively, you can find the serial number from the
navigation unit in the dash.
When replacing the navigation unit, be sure to give the
client the new anti-theft security code.
Certain circumstances and system limitations can result
in occasional vehicle positioning errors. Some clients
may think this indicates a problem with the navigation
system when, in fact, the system is normal. Keep the
following items in mind when interviewing clients
about symptoms of the navigation system. The limitations of the self-inertial portion of the
navigation system (the yaw rate sensor and the vehicle
speed signal) can cause some discrepancies between
the vehicle’s actual position and the indicated vehicle
position (GPS vehicle position).
The following circumstances may cause vehicle
positioning errors:
Moving the vehicle with the engine stopped and the vehicle stopped, such as by ferry or tow truck, or if
the vehicle is spun on a turn table.
Tire slippage, changes in tire rolling diameters, and some driving situations may cause discrepancies in
travel distances. Examples of this include:
– Continuous tire slippage on a slippery surface.
– Driving with snow chains mounted.
– Abnormal tire pressure.
– Incorrect tire size.
– Frequent lane changes across a wide highway.
– Continuous driving on a straight or gently curving highway.
Tolerances in the system and map inaccuracies will sometimes limit how precisely the vehicle position is
indicated. Examples of this include:
– Driving on roads not shown on the map (map matching is not possible).
– Driving on a road that winds in one direction, such as a loop bridge, an interchange, or a spiral parking
garage.
– Driving on a road with a series of sharp hair-pin turns.
– Driving near a gradual highway exit or transition.
– Driving on one of two close parallel roads.
– Making many 90 degree turns.
– The direction to destination icon or the destination icon shown or the map may be up to several
hundred feet away from the actual location.

The GPS cannot detect the vehicle’s position during the
following conditions: Metallic window tinting above the GPS antenna.
When only three satellite signals are received (Four satellite signals are required for accurate positioning).
When driving near high tension power lines.
When the satellite signals are blocked by the operation of some electronic aftermarket accessories
including, but not limited to non-OEM in-dash
entertainment units (radio, CD players/changers,
radar detectors and theft recovery systems) and cell
phones placed near the navigation system.
When the satellite control centers are experiencing problems.
The accuracy of the GPS is reduced during these
instances: Metallic window tinting above the GPS antenna.
When only three satellite signals are received (Four satellite signals are required for accurate positioning).
When driving near high tension power lines.
When the satellite signals are blocked by the operation of some electronic aftermarket accessories
including, but not limited to non-OEM in-dash
entertainment units (radio, CD players/changers,
radar detectors and theft recovery systems) and cell
phones placed near the navigation system.
When the satellite control centers are experiencing problems. Whenever the navigation system is giving guidance,
the front speakers are muted. When the voice control
system is being used, all of the speakers are muted.
In cold temperatures, the display may stay dark for the first 2 or 3 minutes until it warms up.
When the display is too hot because of direct summer sunlight, it will remain dark until the temperature
drops.
When the humidity is high and the interior temperature is low, the display may appear cloudy.
The display will clear up after some use.
Fingerprints on the touch panel may sometimes be noticeable because of the panel’s low-reflection
coating. Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth. You
may use a mild cleaner intended for eye glasses or
computer screens. To avoid scratching the panel, do
not rub too hard, or use abrasive cleaners, or shop
towels.
The touch panel consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane covering the display. Unlike previous
systems, you must actually touch the display to
activate it. Never use hard or sharp implements to
operate the screen because you risk damaging the
sensing membrane. If a touch switch does not
function immediately, shift your finger slightly, and
touch it again.

How to Answer Client Questions About
Navigation CoveragePrecaution on Client Sneak Previews
Is my address covered by the navigation system?
Is my city covered by the navigation system?
The gas station on my corner is now a restaurant. Why
is it still incorrect in the navigation system?
FAQsWhy are some features different or missing compared
to my previous Honda vehicle?
23-97
Some clients may ask questions regarding a city,
address or POI (point of interest) covered by the
navigation system. It is better to verify a coverage
question on an actual vehicle than to disappoint your
client by promising coverage that may be incomplete or
missing in their area. The following suggestions can be
used to answer coverage inquiries from your client.
Using a current production vehicle (of the same model),
enter the client’s address (street first) to see if their area
is covered. Always enter the street first, because
sometimes their city may be included in a neighboring
township, or under some lager metropolitan city name.
If the address is shown in a later year vehicle, but not
your client’s vehicle, you might want to recommend
that your client purchase an update.
For general questions about whether a city is covered,
view the map coverage link on the DVD order site. On
the site, you enter a year and model, and then click on
the Coverage link. You then select a state or province,
and the cities are listed. Of course, this does not
guarantee that the client’s road or address is in the
system. Verifying on an actual production vehicle is
always the best guarantee that your information is
accurate.
For POI-related client questions, explain that
businesses are constantly moving, and there can be a
considerable lag in updating the m
illions of POIs in the
system. The database is updated annually, and the best
way to the verify whether the POI is accurate is verify
the inquiry on a current production vehicle.
Answers to these and other questions regarding
coverage can be found in these locations:
In the Frequently Asked Questions section of the navigation system manual.
At the on-line DVD order site, by clicking on the link (see ORDERING A DVD). Your client might request a look (or sneak preview) at
features in the latest navigation software. You should
never preview a navigation DVD in a client vehicle.
Inserting a newer DVD installs the latest software from
the DVD into the memory of the client’s navigation
system. When the original DVD is reinstalled, the newer
software remains in memory and is often incompatible
with the client’s original DVD Map and POI database, or
software.
If wishes to see the latest navigation coverage or
software features, demonstrate it on an in-stock vehicle
that already has the latest DVD version.
If, by chance, a newer version is loaded accidentally,
either by the dealer or the client, the only remedy is to
enter the navigation diagnostic mode’s Version screen
and do a forced download. Check any official Honda
service website for more information about what
patches may need reinstalling.
Hardware and software continually go through updates
and improvements. Features may change or disappear
over time based on the navigation system development.
