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 screen is for factory use only, and should always
be set to OFF. Occasionally the DEMO 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. The Speed
changes the speed of the demo mode. This diagnostic 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 roof console. It is directional, and works only with
the voice coming from the driver’s 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 shown on the screen does not briefly turn
green, check the wiring from the steering wheel
navigation TALK button to the navigation unit. If there
is no Mic Level movement when you speak, then you
should check the wires running from the microphone
in the roof console to the HandsFreeLink control unit
and the navigation unit. If the wires are OK, the
microphone must be faulty; replace the microphone
located in roof console (see page 23-358).
 PressthenavigationBACKbuttononthesteering wheel. This should cause the Cancel indicator on the

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 be in an open area to effectively
troubleshoot GPS reception issues. The sate llite
numbers shown on the diagram correspond to the PRN
number in the GPS Details screen. There are always at
least 24 active GPS satellites in orbit. Because satellites
fail, and have to be removed from service, spares are
always parked in orbit, ready to be activated. This is
why the PRN (satellite ID number) can be greater than
24.
NOTE: When you use this screen for troubleshooting,
park the vehicle outside, away from buildings, tall trees,
and high-tension wires for at least 10 minutes with the
engine running.  The Number of Satellites box shows the number of
acquired satellites (maximum of 12). It should contain
three or more icons. If not troubleshoot for GPS icon
is white or not shown (see page 23-341).
 The Current Position shows latitude, longitude, and elevation (in feet). If there are less than four satellites,
the elevation can be grossly inaccurate.
 The Date/Time field shows the current date, and also a time that includes daylight savings and other
offsets entered by the customer in Setup screen 2
Adjust Time Zone/Clock.
NOTE: Pressing the map/guide button displays the
satellite number on each circle.

This diagnostic checks the yaw rate sensor in the
navigation 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 23-283).
 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.
 The yaw rate offset and sensor should be within / 0.01 V of each other when the vehicle is stopped.
The sensor value should change relative to the offset
as the vehicle turns while driving. If not, replace the
navigation unit.

become more accurate.
 The settings CCW Cal Factor, CW Cal Factor, and Set are for factory use only. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE
ADJUSTED.
 For detailed analysis of the yaw rate select tuning.

PC Card FAQs
QuestionAnswer
23-317
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 or ’09 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 will
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 use. 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.
It 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.
