AV CONTROL UNIT : Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146242
DESCRIPTION
• Diagnosis function consists of the “Self-Diagnosis ” mode performed automatically and the “Confirmation/
Adjustment” mode operated manually.
• “Self-Diagnosis” mode checks for connections between the units constituting this system, analyzes each
individual unit at the same time, and displays the results on the LCD screen.
• “Confirmation/Adjustment” mode is used to perform trouble diagnosis that requires operation and judgment
by an operator (trouble that cannot be automatically judged by the system), to check/change the set value,
and to display the error history of the AV control unit.
DIAGNOSIS ITEM
Mode Description
Self-diagnosis • AV control unit diagnosis
• Analyzes connection between the AV control unit, front display,
switches, DVD deck, GPS antenna, rear view camera control unit and
SAT antenna.

AUDIO SYSTEM
The majority of the audio troubles are the result of
outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,
etc.).
Noise
The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or
external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.
• Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-
tains or buildings blocking the signal.
• Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves s ent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the
antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.
Type of Noise and Possible Cause
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Basic Operation
Vehicle Mark
Occurrence condition Possible cause
Occurs only when engine is ON. A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed. • Ignition components
The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump. • Fuel pump condenser
Noise only occurs when various
electrical components are oper-
ating. A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the op-
eration of various switches.
• Relay malfunction, AV control unit malfunc-
tion
The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing. • Motor case ground
• Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions. • Rear defogger coil malfunction
• Open circuit in printed heater
• Poor ground of antenna feeder line
A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially when
it is vibrating excessively. • Ground wire of body parts
• Ground due to improper part installation
• Wiring connections or a short circuit
Symptom
Cause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to DARK
side. Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high. Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle is
driving on a dark pink route.
System is not malfunctioning.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow. Temperature inside the vehicle is low.
Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen. Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display (dis-
play unit). System is not malfunction.

Voice Guide
Route Search
Automatic route searching is not
possible.Vehicle is driving on a highway (gray route), or no
recommended route is available. Drive on a road to be searched. Or re–search
the route manually. In this case, however, the
whole route will be searched.
Performed automatic detour
search (or detour search). Howev-
er, the result is the same as that of
the previous search. Performed search with every conditions consid-
ered. However, the result is the same as that of the
previous search.
System is not malfunctioning.
Passing points cannot be set. More than five passing points were set. Passing points can be set up to five. To stop
at more than five points, perform sharing in
several steps.
When setting the route, the starting
point cannot be selected. The current vehicle location is always set as the
starting point of a route. System is not malfunctioning.
Some menu items cannot be se-
lected. The vehicle is being driven.
Stop the vehicle at a safe place and then op-
erate the system.

SymptomCause Remedy
Voice guide will not operate. Note: Voice guide is only available at intersections that satisfy certain conditions (indicated by z on
the map). Therefore, guidance may not be given
even when the route on the map changes direction. System is not malfunctioning.
The vehicle is not on the recommended route. Return to the recommended route or re- search the route.
Voice guide is turned OFF. Turn voice guide ON.
Route guide is turned OFF. Turn route guide ON.
Voice guide does not match the ac-
tual road pattern. Voice guide may vary with the direction to which
the vehicle is turn and the connection of the road to
other roads. Drive in conformity to the actual traffic rules.
Symptom
Cause Remedy
No route is shown. No road to be searched is found around the des-
tination. Find wider road (orange road or wider) near-
by and reset the destination and passing
points onto it. Take care of the traveling direc-
tion when there are separate up and down
roads.
Starting point and the destination are too close. Set the destination at more distant point.
Conditional traffic regulation (day of the week/
time of the day) is set at the area around the cur-
rent location or the destination. Turn the time-regulating search conditions
OFF. Turn “Avoid re
gulation time” in the
search conditions OFF.
Indicated route is intermittent. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not used for the search
(Note)Therefore, the route to
the current location or the passing points may be
intermittent. System is not malfunctioning.
When the vehicle has passed the
recommended route, it is deleted
from the screen. A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing
point 1, then the map data from the starting point
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The data
may remain undeleted in some area.) System is not malfunctioning.

- Because calculation of the current location cannot be done when traveling with the ignition off, for example when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise location
can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
Vehicle Mark Jumps
In the following cases, the vehicle mark may appear to ju mp as a result of automatic correction of the current
location.
• When map matching has been done
- If the current location and the vehicle mark are diff erent when map matching is done, the vehicle mark may
seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corre cted” to the wrong road or to a location which is not on
a road.
• When GPS location correction has been done
- If the current location and the vehicle mark are diff erent when the location is corrected using GPS measure-
ments, the vehicle mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to a location which
is not on a road.
Vehicle Mark is in a River or Sea
The navigation system moves the vehicle mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If the vehi-
cle mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
Vehicle Mark Automatically Rotates
The system wrongly memorizes the rotating status as st opping when the ignition switch is turned ON with the
turntable rotating. That causes the vehicl e mark to rotate when the vehicle is stopped.
When Driving on Same Road, Sometimes Vehicle Mark is in Right Place and Sometimes it is in Wrong Place
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the lo cation has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
