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.

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.

This screen is for factory use only. It allows adjustment
of the GPS time. This display updates in real time.
 GPS Time is the time as received from the GPS satellites. It is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
 Date, Hour, Minute, and Set should not be used.
This screen allows the navigation system to drive a
route, when the vehicle is stationary. Typical
applications include auto shows, and other events.
This feature allows a visitor to enter a destination, and
see the system drive to the destination. No speed signal
is needed.  To initiate the mode, select ON.
 Changing the speed rate in ms (millisec onds) is
optional, and represents the time between updates of
the VP (vehicle position) movement.
– When you increase the rate, the VP slows down because it is updated (moved) at a slower rate.
– When you decrease the rate, VP is faster because it is updated (moved) more frequently.
– 1500 ms is VP at its slowest in demo mode.
– 150 ms is VP at its fastest in demo mode (Default).
 At key off, the setting automatically returns to the default of Off. This diagnostic screen allows you to independently test
the microphone and the navigation 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 drivers seat.
 Press the navigation TALK button on the steering wheel, wait unit you hear a beep, and in a normal
voice say ‘‘testing’’. The TALK indicator on the screen
should momentarily turn green, and the text ‘‘Now
Recording...’’ should appear in yellow. If the talk
indicator on the screen does not briefly turn green,
then check the wiring from the navigation TALK
button to the navigation unit.
 If there is no Mic Level movement when you speak, then you should check the wire running from the
microphone to the navigation unit.
 If the mic level bar is full or almost full wit hout you
speaking or other back ground noise, replace the
microphone and recheck.
 PressthenavigationBACKbuttononthesteering wheel. The Cancel indicator on the screen should
momentarily turn green. If it does not briefly turn
green, then check the wiring from the steering wheel

When replacing the navigation unit, this function allows
the dealer to transfer the client’s personal data to the
new navigation unit. The transferred information
includes their Setup settings, and personal addresses.
The dealer inserts a PC card to the navigation unit, and
then selects the Save Users Memory function. The two
functions in this diagnostic screen are EXPORT and
IMPORT. EXPORT saves the client’s data to the PC card,
andIMPORTmovesthePCcardfilestothenew
navigation unit.
Before starting this function, see the PC Card FAQs for
information regarding PC cards, how to use this
function. 1. Select EXPORT button to move the client’s data
from the original navigation unit to the PC card.
Select YES on the Export User Data Confirmation
screen. The process takes only a couple of seconds.
The system stores two files on the card.
NOTE: If the EXPORT button is grayed out, check
the PC card’s edge connector, and the pins inside
the navigation unit (with a flashlight) for damage.
2. After installing the client’s original DVD in the new navigation unit, allow the system to boot up. Insert
the PC card in the new navigation unit and enter the
Save Users Memory in the navigation system
diagnostic mode.
3. Select IMPORT button to move the two files stored by the Export process from the PC card to the new
navigation unit. Select YES on the Import User Data
Confirmation screen. When the transfer is finished
(a few seconds) the system automatically reboots.
After the system reboots, remove the PC card from
the PC card slot.
NOTE: If the IMPORT button is grayed out, check if
the Model and the Program Flash shown on the
Version screen are the same for the two navigation
units.

PC Card FAQs
QuestionAnswer
23-151
Wheredowebuytheflashmemoryor
adaptors, and what do we ask for?You need a PCMCIA type II adaptor and a flash memory chip. You can
purchase them at a computer, or office supply store. The card is the
same size and shape as the PC card in the HDS. Adaptors that accept
multiple flash types are not recommended.
What memory flash chips will work
with what adaptors? The flash memory devices that have been tested include Compact Flash
(CF), and ATA style (like the card in the HDS). Other card types and flash
memory chips may work, but have not been tested.
What capacity card do I need for this
function? A memory chip with capacity of 64 MB to 2 GB will work. The two files
moved to the PC card during export are less than a Megabyte in size.
Should the dealer have a dedicated PC
card for the Export and Import
navigation function? Yes, treat the PC card as a dedicated special tool that you can use any
time you need to transfer the navigation personal files to a new
navigation unit on ’07 and later vehicles.
What device can I use to maintain the
PC card, and delete files? Any computer store sells USB style card readers that accept the PC card,
and allow you to do file maintenance on your PC card. Most laptops also
accept the PC card.
Can we move the client’s data to
different models? No, the files are model specific and will only load into a navigation unit
with the same part number.
Can we move the client’s data to the
same vehicle with a different software
version (like moving from version 4.41
to version 4.51)? The client’s files can only be transferred to a new navigation unit if the
Model and the Program Flash shown on the Version screen are the same.
Files cannot be transferred to the different model and different versions.
Will other files on the PC card like
images or music files prevent the
Export/Import function from working? No, the system simply adds two small files that are recognized by the
new navigation unit when performing the import function. However, it
the PC card is full, the Export function won’t work correctly.
Do I have to delete the files on the PC
card after each transfer of the
personal data? After the transfer of personal data to the new navigation unit, the files
remain on the PC card. Since this is confidential information, Acura
recommends deleting these files after the transfer. Please note that each
time you export navigation files of the same model and version, the files
are overwritten. Over time the PC card accumulates two files for each
version of the 8 or so Acura navigation models.
If the memory card needs formatting,
what format should I use? It is unlikely that the PC card will ever need formatting, however, if it
does, use the FAT (file allocation table) file system.
I can’t enter the navigation diagnostic
mode to do the Export/Import function.
How can I transfer the personal data? Some internal navigation unit ECU failures may make it impossible to
use the Export/Import function.

QuestionAnswer
23-152Navigation System
System Diagnostic Mode (cont’d)










Why wont the Export or Import
functions work or are grayed out?
What do I check as part of
troubleshooting?
The card may not be fully inserted into the slot. Eject the PC card, and
inspect for warping or damage to the edge connector. Never use
excessive force to insert a PC card. This can result in damage to the
pins in the rear of the slot.
The PC card may not contain files that are recognized by the new
navigation unit. Navigation data can only be transferred between
navigation units with the same Model code, and with the same navi
Program flash version.
The flash memory chip type may not be accepted by the system. Only
Compact Flash and ATA cards have been tested.
The card’s PCMCIA adaptor may prevent a known-
good card from
being recognized Avoid multi-slot type PCMCIA adaptors that accept
several different flash memory types.
The card may be full and as a result the files are stored, but without
any data. Export and import appear to function, but move nothing.
Delete unused files from the PC card.
There may not be any files on the PC card. If the PC card has a write
protection switch, make sure it is turned off before using the Export
function.
Although flash memory chips are reliable, occasionally they develop
bad sectors or other formatting errors that prevents them from
accepting files. The PC card should be reformatted using the FAT
format.
The PC card may have been formatted using the format NTFS. Only the
FAT format is accepted by the system.
Hard Disc Drive (HDD) cards may not work properly in the system and
can overheat or quit functioning, particularly in a hot vehicle. They are
not recommended.
Before performing the Import function, ensure that the original
navigation DVD is loaded into the new navigation unit and working
properly.
