CIRCUIT
The navigation system is composed of the navigation unit, the ECM/PCM (vehicle speed signal), the GPS antenna, the
microphone, the voice control switch, the XM receiver, and the climate control unit.
These units communicate with each other on the GA-Net bus.
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.

The following is a glossary of terms pertaining to the Voice Recognition Navigation System.Active noise cancellation
(ANC) The active noise cancellation system cancels some of the vehicle noise. This occurs in the 1,500 2,400 rpm
range. Microphones detect the low frequency sound, and the system outputs a canceling sound from the audio
speaker.
Address Book The HFL system can import a copy of the phone book from and approved HFL compatible phone and display the imported phone book on the navigation screen as the address book. See the Owner’s Manual for more
information.
B-CAN Body CAN Bus (see CAN)
Bread-crumbs (White
dots) Off road tracking dots that can be followed on the map to retrace your route back to a mapped (digitized) road.
This function can be turned on/off in Setup screen 1.
CAN Controller Area Network. This communication network allows processors in the vehicle to send/receive information. The fuel pulses used by the MID trip computer are received from the ECM/PCM using the F-CAN
(Fast Controller Area Network) bus.
CPU Central Processing Unit. The main device within the navigation unit that coordinates the rest of the electronic functions.
CSS Countershaft (Output) Speed Sensor. This sensor reads the output shaft speed at the transmission and provides a speed pulse to the ECM/PCM.
Database This consists of the Map data, and the POI (Points Of Interest) data stored on the DVD.
DBW Drive By Wire. Allows electrical control of the throttle without the need of a mechanical linkage.
DCA Detailed Coverage Area. Main metropolitan areas in the Lower 48 states, and Canada are mapped to this level. See the navigation system manual for a list of these areas.
DTC DTC Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Use HDS tablet to obtain, and troubleshoot the cause of these codes.
Dead reckoning The use of the speed signal, and yaw rate sensor to position the vehicle on the map even when tall buildings, or driving in a tunnel obscures the GPS signal.
Digitized road A road that appears on the navigation screen. The road name appears at the bottom of the navigation screen. If the user drives off road, the navigation system displays not on a digitized road, and after 1/2 mile, the bread-
crumbs appear.
Disclaimer screen Screen containing cautionary information. It is meant to be read carefully and acknowledged by the customer when using the navigation system.

NOTE: Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Make sure that the correct DVD color and version are installed.
 Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
 Check the connector for poor connection or loose terminals.
 Before troubleshooting, make sure you have the navigation system 4-digit anti-theft code.
 After troubleshooting, enter the navigation system anti-theft code.
Before assuming that a voice complaint is hardware
related, ensure that the voice control system is being
operated correctly.  Make sure you are on the correct screen when trying to issue a voice command. For instance, the
command ‘‘Find the nearest Italian Restaurant’’ only
works on a Map screen (See the Navigation System
Manual for a complete list of allowed voice
commands for the information being displayed.).
 Close the windows, moonroof, and doors.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2).
 Adjust the air flow from the air conditioning vents so that they do not blow against the microphone on the
ceiling.
 Pause after pressing the navigation TALK button, then give a voice command clearly in a natural
speaking voice. If the system cannot recognize your
command, speak louder.
 If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands
correctly.
 If you speak a command with something in your mouth, or your voice is too husky, the system may
misunderstand your command.
 Compare the system operation with a known-good vehicle. Have more than one person test the system
operation. If the known-good vehicle performs the
same, it is a characteristic of the system. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the Mic Level
test under Functional Setup (see page 23-147) to
check the operation of the navigation TALK and
navigation BACK buttons.
Go to step 10.
Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Do the voice control switch test (see page 23-156).
Go to step 5.
Replace the voice control switch.
5. Disconnect the cable reel 20P connector and navigation unit connector D (5P).
6. Check for continuity between body ground and navigation unit connector D (5P) terminal No. 4.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the navigation unit and the voice control
switch, or replace the cable reel.
Go to step 7.

 If all of the communication lines connecting the system components, and the navigation TALK/BACK
buttons/microphone check out OK (all block diagram
items green), then the OK indicator turns green.
 If there is a problem with the system, the faulty system component item turns red, and the screen
shows NG in red. Use the troubleshooting index, and
other diagnostic screens to help locate the problem.
 The indicator on the screen may not change until you cycle the ignition switch. After repairing the affected
cable or system, repeat this diagnostic.
NOTE: Green boxes and green OK indicate that the
communications lines (cables) are intact. This
diagnostic does not necessarily imply that the
individual components are functioning properly. For
instance, the GPS antenna wire may be crushed, but
still show as green. A road test, or other diagnostic
