Refer to the Navigation System Manual for the navigation system operating procedures.
The navigation system and audio unit have a coded theft protection circuit. Make sure you have the anti-theft security codes number before;
After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit, and turn the ignition switch ON (II). Enter the 4-digit anti-theft security code, then select "Done".
If the code cannot be found, use the interactive Network (;N) to look it up. You will need the serial number from the navigation unit. You can view the serial number in the Navi ECU diagnostic screen or find it on a label on the under side of the navigation unit located in the trunk (see TOUCH PANEL CALIBRATION ).
When replacing the navigation unit, be sure to give the client the new anti-theft security code.
Certain circumstances and system limitations will 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:
The GPS cannot detect the vehicle's position or elevation during the following instances:
The accuracy of GPS is reduced during these instances:
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.
NOTE:
The display is unaffected by sunlight, contrary to previous displays.
If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected). The navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
The navigation system and audio unit have a coded theft protection circuit. Make sure you have the anti-theft security codes number before;
After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit, and turn the ignition switch ON (II). Enter the 4-digit anti-theft security code, then select "Done".
When replacing the navigation unit or audio unit, be sure to give the client the new anti-theft security code.
Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears.
Fig. 4: Navigation Screen Display
After 30 minutes with this screen is displayed, turn off the engine, then restart the vehicle. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete.
NOTE:
This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a destination at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on, appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.

A new navigation DVD is needed

The navigation system is a highly-sophisticated, hybrid locating system that uses satellites and a map database to show where the vehicle is and to help guide you to a desired destination.
The navigation system receives signals from the global positioning system (GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. By receiving signals from several of these satellites, the navigation system can determine the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the vehicle. In addition, signals from the system's yaw rate sensor and the ECM/PCM (vehicle speed pulse) enable the system to keep track of the vehicle's direction and speed of travel.
This hybrid system has advantages over a system that is either entirely self-contained or one that relies totally on the GPS. For example, the self-contained portion of the system can keep track of vehicle position even when satellite signals cannot be received. When the navigation system is on, the GPS can keep track of the vehicle position even when the vehicle is transported by ferry.
The navigation system applies all location, direction, and speed information to maps and calculates a route to the destination entered. As you drive to that destination, the system provides both visual and audio guidance.
This navigation system also has voice recognition that allows voice control of most of the navigation functions. The TALK and BACK buttons on the steering wheel activate the voice control. The voice control also allows control of the audio and climate control.
The navigation system provides a trip computer function. The fuel economy display is calculated by data provided by the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM provides fuel pulses via the F-CAN bus, and a dedicated speed signal.
The illumination signal is used by the navigation unit to automatically switch the display between Night and Day brightness modes when Display is set to Auto. When the instrument panel brightness control is set to full brightness, the navigation system stays in the Day mode, even with the headlights on. Display unit button illumination is supplied through the audio unit.
The GA-NET bus provides communication between the navigation unit and the display unit. This bus also links the components in the audio-HVAC display module. The bus is used to pass button and touch-screen commands to the navigation unit. In addition, muting and voice control commands are sent to the display unit and the audio and climate control systems for processing. The audio unit uses this bus to control the XM receiver or other accessories.
NOTE:
When installing factory audio accessories, always ensure that the GA-NET bus is re-connected.
Fig. 5: Navigation System Diagram
The navigation system is composed of the navigation unit, the ECM/PCM (vehicle speed signal), the GPS antenna, microphone, voice control switch, audio unit, climate control unit, audio-HVAC subdisplay unit, and the display unit.
Fig. 6: Navigation System Function Diagram
The vehicle speed pulse is sent by the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM receives a signal from the countershaft speed sensor, then it processes the signal and transmits it to the speedometer and other systems.
Fig. 7: Identifying Navigation Unit And ECM/PCM (Vehicle Speed Pulse)
The ECM/PCM sends a charge signal to the navigation unit via F-CAN. A thermister inside the navigation unit monitors the units internal temperature. This information combined with charge signal determines the control units internal cooling fan operation.
Fig. 8: Identifying Fan Control Logic And ECM/PCM (Charge Signal)
The yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (located in the navigation unit) detects the direction change (angular speed) of the vehicle. The sensor is an oscillation gyro built into the navigation unit.
The sensor element is shaped like a tuning fork, and it consists of the piezoelectric parts, the metal block, and the support pin. There are four piezoelectric parts: one to drive the oscillators, one to monitor and maintain the oscillation at a regular frequency, and two to detect angular velocity. The two oscillators, which have a 90-degree twist in the center, are connected at the bottom by the metal block and supported by the support pin. A detection piezoelectric part is attached to the top of each oscillator. The driving piezoelectric part is attached to the bottom of one oscillator, and the monitoring piezoelectric part is attached to the bottom of the other oscillator.
The piezoelectric parts have "electric/mechanical transfer characteristics." They bend vertically when voltage is applied to both sides of the parts, and voltage is generated between both sides of the piezoelectric parts when they are bent by an external force. The oscillation gyro functions by using this characteristic of the piezoelectric parts and "Coriolis force." (Coriolis force deflects moving objects as a result of the earth's rotation.) In the oscillation gyro, this force moves the sensor element when angular velocity is applied.
Fig. 9: Enlarged View Of Sensor Element And Sensor Element Top View
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 satellites 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 satellites position in its respective orbit.
Fig. 10: Identifying Position Detection Image With GPS Satellite
The precision of the GPS varies according to the number of satellites from which signals are received and the view of the sky. The precision is indicated by the color of the GPS icon shown on the display.

Faulty
The GPS can't be utilized due to a faulty GPS receiver, open in the wire, or other fault or interference.
The GPS antenna amplifies and transmits the signals received from the satellites to the GPS receiver.
The GPS receiver is built in the navigation unit. It calculates the vehicle position by receiving the signal from the GPS antenna. The vehicle position and signal reception condition is transmitted from the GPS receiver to the navigation unit to adjust vehicle position.
The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position and guides you to the destination. The unit performs map matching correction, GPS correction, and distance tuning. It also controls the menu functions and the DVD-ROM drive, and interprets voice commands. With control of all these items, the navigation unit makes the navigation picture signal, then it transmits the signal to the display unit and audio driving instructions to the audio unit.
The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position (the driving direction and the current position) by receiving the directional change signals from the yaw rate sensor and the travel distance signals from the PCMs vehicle speed pulse (VSP) signal.
The map matching tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position on the roads on the map. The map data transmitted from the DVD-ROM is checked against the vehicle position data, and the vehicle position is indicated on the nearest road. Map matching tuning does not occur when the vehicle travels on a road not shown on the map, or when the vehicle position is far away from a road on the map.
The GPS tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position as the GPS's vehicle position. The navigation unit compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. If there is large difference between the two, the indicated vehicle position is adjusted to the GPS vehicle position.
The distance tuning reduces the difference between the travel distance signal from the VSP and the distance data on the map. The navigation unit compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. The navigation unit then decreases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always ahead of the GPS vehicle position, and it increases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always behind the GPS vehicle position.
The navigation unit can calculate different routes to a selected destination. You have five options:
The navigation unit transmits audio driving instructions before entering an intersection or passing a junction. The audio instructions come through the audio unit to the front speakers.
NOTE:
The front speakers are muted whenever the navigation system is giving guidance commands, and all of the speakers when the voice control system is being used.
The map data (including all scale rates) is stored in the DVD-ROM. The map data includes:
The audio unit receives the audio driving instructions from the navigation unit and transmits the instructions through the front speakers even when the audio system is in use.
The display unit uses a liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD is a 8-inch-diagonal, thin film transistor (TFT), stripe type with 336,960 picture elements. The color film and fluorescent light are laid out on the back of the liquid crystal film. The touch sensor on the front of the LCD consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane with an infinite number of possible touch locations. To maintain compatibility with earlier display units, the sensing locations are confined to a grid of 20 vertical and 9 horizontal touch locations. This produces 180 total sensing points. The display, unit transmits the signal from each operation key and the touch switches to the navigation unit over the GA-Net bus.

Fig. 46: Navigation Screen Display - Navi System Link
NOTE:
F-CAN (Fast Controller Area Network) passes information between processors on the network. For example, the F-CAN network is used to pass fuel pulses between the ECM/PCM and the navigation unit for the trip computer function. The F-CAN network uses a communication protocol that transmits data at 500 kbps.
B-CAN (Body Controller Area Network) communication moves at a slower speed for convenience related items, and for other functions.
Overview of display unit
These screens allow you to troubleshoot the display unit. Touch the menu item you want to troubleshoot, and follow the diagnostic instructions.
Fig. 49: Navigation Screen Display - White Raster
This screen verifies that the display unit is receiving the video (R, G, B and Composite sync) signals properly. The three primary colors should all be shown without distortion. The combination of all three should produce a central white section. If any of the colors are missing, troubleshoot for the color signal (see PICTURE IS MISSING A COLOR OR TONE OR IS AN ODD COLOR ). If the picture has lines in it, or scrolls horizontally or vertically, troubleshoot for a Composite sync problem (see PICTURE HAS LINES OR ROLLS ).
Fig. 50: Navigation Screen Display - RGB Color
This screen diagnoses problems with contrast. You should be able to see the changes from bar to bar across the scale. It is normal for the 2 bars on either side to appear the same.
Fig. 51: Navigation Screen Display - Gray Tone
The entire display must be in white.
Fig. 52: Navigation Screen Display - White Raster
The entire display must be black.
Fig. 53: Navigation Screen Display - Black Raster
The chart below; shows the colors being used for the map and menu screens. This is for factory use only. To check the color signal use the "RGB Color" diagnostic.
Fig. 54: Navigation Screen Display - Test Pattern
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 will reset the display position to factory specifications.
Fig. 55: Navigation Screen Display - Monitor Adjustment
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 an almost infinite number of touch locations. However, to be compatible with earlier systems, the software only senses the locations shown on the diagnostic screen below. Every possible touch button position is shown on this diagnostic screen. Touching one of these areas should cause its color to reverse, and sound a "beep". If the touch locations are off slightly (by less than one touch locations), use the "Touch Panel Calibration" diagnostic to re-align the touch "zones" with the screen image. If any areas of the screen either don't respond, or respond at some other location when touched, then replace the display unit.
NOTE:
Unlike earlier screens that used infrared sensors, direct sunlight will not affect this test.
Fig. 56: Navigation Screen Display - Return
The display screen uses a touch sensitive membrane instead of fixed infrared "beams". This means that every location of the entire surface of the display is touch sensitive.
For the display to be compatible with earlier navi systems, the system software creates "touch zones" emulating the touch "switches" created by the intersections of 20 vertical and 9 horizontal infrared beams. This diagnostic allows alignment of these artificially created "zones" with the location of the button images on the screen.
Normally this should never need adjustment, and it 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:
To start the test, select the item you want to check.
Fig. 58: Navigation Screen Display - Select Cheek Units
This diagnostic performs additional checks on the communication bus between the control unit, and the display. In addition, the internal display electronic components are checked.
If the NG is indicated, check for loose audio unit connectors.
Fig. 60: Navigation Screen Display - Radio
This screen diagnosis the navigation unit. When you initiate this diagnostic, the navigation unit may delay up to a minute while the diagnosis runs.
Normally there is no PC Card in the PC slot, and the screen should say, "PC Card is not inserted".
Fig. 62: Navigation Screen Display - PC Card Info
If the factory instructs you to insert a card, then this screen displays the Manufacturer, and Product Name as shown in the following screen.
Fig. 63: Navigation Screen Display - PC Card Info
Use this screen to confirm that the navigation unit is properly receiving input signals. Signals equal to (0) are OFF, and signals equal to (1) are ON. If the value on the display does not match the actual vehicle status, then check the wire carrying the signal.
This signal was used by the previous DVD navigation system. If CHG was off, then the screen was shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity to minimize battery consumption.
The VSP comes from the ECM/PCM as a dedicated signal. Internally, the navigation unit compares the actual VP on the map against street data to adjust the pulse to speed scaling factor. As this scaling factor becomes more accurate, the "Level" gradually increases from 0 to 10.
The Back signal is used by the navigation unit to allow the map screen to show the VP moving backwards when in reverse. This signal is needed because the Speed Pulse has no direction indication.
This signal is obtained off of the F-CAN bus. For problems, see the service manual section for troubleshooting F-CAN. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for the F-CAN can be retrieved with a HDS (Honda Diagnostic System).
(Pin 5 of navigation unit A-connector)
This signal is used by the navigation unit to determine whether to put the navigation screen into the Day or Night brightness mode. (Setup screen 1)
The navigation unit has a micro switch to detect this. If open is indicated when the door is closed, replace the navigation unit.
The navigation unit has a micro switch to detect this. If open is indicated when the door is slid shut, then replace the navigation unit. This slot is for insertion of PC Flash memory cards for gathering diagnostic information. This is for factory use only.
Fig. 64: Navigation Screen Display - Car Status
This screen shows the current status of GPS reception. The circular diagram shows the current location of the GPS satellites (yellow numbers) as they would appear in the sky. The outer circle represents the horizon (0 degrees elevation). The middle and inner circles represents 30 and 60 degrees respectively. The very center of the diagram (90 degrees elevation) is directly overhead. Nearby obstructions, like tall buildings, will block satellites in that direction. That is why it is necessary to troubleshoot GPS reception issues in an open area. The satellite numbers shown on the diagram correspond to the "PRN" number in the "GPS Details" screen. There are always 24 "active" GPS satellites in orbit. Because satellites fail, and have to be removed from service, spares always parked in orbit, ready to be activated. This is why the PRN (satellite ID number) can be greater than 24.
NOTE:
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.

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, seethe yaw rate sensor theory of operation under "System Description" (see YAW RATE-LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR ).
A "sensor" output voltage HIGHER than the "Offset" voltage indicates that the vehicle is turning to the left.

As the vehicle moves, the navigation system receives speed pulses from the 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 turing. At navigation initialization, it begins at 0, and increases to 10 as the navigation system is used.

This screen shows current internal values used for trip computer calculations. They are for factory use only.
By holding down the MENU button while on the "Trip Information" screen, you will see the this screen. This screen allows you to adjust the vehicle range (distance to empty).
NOTE:
Setting the range offset too low (+10) could result in the vehicle running out of gas before the display reads "0". Make changes slowly when changing this value.

NOTE:
This model does not use this feature.
This screen graphically displays the sun's position as determined by GPS. The climate control system uses the navigation systems sun angle, along with the sunlight sensor to control the driver/passenger A/C air flow. The heat that the climate control unit removes varies, depending on the angle of the sun entering the vehicle. This screen is for factory use only, and should not be adjusted.
This screen allows the factory to select log data to troubleshoot navigation system issues.
This screen is for factory use only. It allows adjustment of the GPS time. This display updates in real time.
This diagnostic allows you to independently test the microphone and the TALK and BACK buttons. They are used to activate the voice control system. The microphone is located near the map light in the ceiling. It is directional, and works best if the voice is coming from the driver's seat.
NOTE:
The Mic Level indicator must reach the 6th bar or greater to pass the test.

This screen displays the number of pulses per revolution of the tire. This is for factory use only, and should not be changed.
This screen determines whether to automatically send the navigation time to the upper display. The display unit connector A (10P) passes this information to the subdisplay unit. The navigation time can be found in the Setup screen 2 "Adjust Time Zone/Clock" setting.
NOTE:
Selecting "Reset" on the Adjust Time Zone/ Clock screen automatically resets this diagnostic function to "ON".

This screen is for factory use only, and should always be set to "OFF". Occasionally this setting is turned "ON" when vehicles are being used at Auto Shows or similar events. Turning this feature on, allows the navigation system to automatically follow a route to a destination when the vehicle is stationary.

This screen displays the current version of the program, and allows the loading of a new version of the program either from a CD/DVD or from a PC card.
The D-Ram Program version should always be greater than or equal to the Disc Program version. The mapped database version is the date of the database on the DVD.
The Model code is 22H ('04 model) or 27H ('05 model), and is for factory use only. This code is stored on a chip in the navigation unit. Therefore, every model has a unique part number for the navigation unit. If the code is different than the value above, replace the navigation unit (see NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Do not use either of the load buttons, unless instructed to do so by the factory.
