NOTE:
 Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Check for aftermarket accessories plugged into the vehicle accessory power sockets (including cell
phone).
 Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
 Check the radio reception in an open area. Compare it to a known-good vehicle when ever possible.Poor
reception/interference can be caused by the
following:
– The radio station is far away.
– Atmospheric conditions are unfavorable.
– Tall buildings, mountains, or high-voltage power lines are nearby.
– Aftermarket metallic wi ndow tint.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Do the seek stop test (see page 23-78).
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal. Go to step 3.
3. Check if the radio reception/interference is the same in several locations.
Go to step 4.
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal.
4. Start the engine.
5. Check the reception/interference.
Check the antenna and radio grounds. If OK,
check the charging system and the ignition
system. Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 7. Remove the right side C-pillar trim (see page 20-75).
8. Check the connections from the AM/FM antenna
amplifier to the window antenna.
Repair the connections, or substitute a
known-good AM/FM antenna amplifier and retest.
If the symptom/condition goes away, replace the
original AM/FM antenna amplifier (see page 23-87).
Go to step 9.
9. With the help of an assistant inside the vehicle, have the assistant shine a flashlight (A) along each
antenna wire (B). Check from the outside of the
vehicle for any breaks or openings in the antenna
wires (the light shines through).

General Operation
Anti-theft Feature
Symptom DiagnosisSelf-Inertial Navigation Limitations
23-90Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information
Refer to the Navigation System manual for the
navigation system operating procedures.
The navigation system has a coded theft protection
circuit. Be sure you have the client’s anti-theft security
code before;
 Disconnecting the battery
 Disconnecting the navigation unit A (17P) and C (12P) connector
 Removing the No. 23 (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box
After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit,
and turn the ignition switch ON (II). Enter the 4-digit
anti-theft security codes, then select Done.
If the code cannot be found, use the interactive Network
(iN) to look it up. You can view the serial number in one
of the Navi ECU diagnostic screen (see page 23-139).
Alternatively, you can find the serial number from the
navigation unit in the dash.
When replacing the navigation unit, be sure to give the
client the new anti-theft security code.
Certain circumstances and system limitations can 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:
 Moving the vehicle with the engine stopped and the vehicle stopped, such as by ferry or tow truck, or if
the vehicle is spun on a turn table.
 Tire slippage, changes in tire rolling diameters, and some driving situations may cause discrepancies in
travel distances. Examples of this include:
– Continuous tire slippage on a slippery surface.
– Driving with snow chains mounted.
– Abnormal tire pressure.
– Incorrect tire size.
– Frequent lane changes across a wide highway.
– Continuous driving on a straight or gently curving highway.
 Tolerances in the system and map inaccuracies will sometimes limit how precisely the vehicle position is
indicated. Examples of this include:
– Driving on roads not shown on the map (map matching is not possible).
– Driving on a road that winds in one direction, such as a loop bridge, an interchange, or a spiral parking
garage.
– Driving on a road with a series of sharp hair-pin turns.
– Driving near a gradual highway exit or transition.
– Driving on one of two close parallel roads.
– Making many 90 degree turns.
– The direction to destination icon or the destination icon shown or the map may be up to several
hundred feet away from the actual location.

Symptom DuplicationService Precautions
System Initialization
23-92 Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
 If you can duplicate the symptom, compare it to a
known-good vehicle. Only use a vehicle of the same
model, same year, same trim, and same software
version. If you can duplicate the symptom in the
known-good vehicle, then it is a characteristic of the
system.
 When the symptom can be duplicated, follow the self- diagnostic procedures and the appropriate
troubleshooting procedures.
 When the symptom does not reappear or only reappears intermittently, ask the client about the
conditions when the symptom occurred.
– Try to establish if outside interference may be the cause.
– Try to duplicate the symptom under the same conditions the client experienced.
– Vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture (dew, humidity) are factors that are difficult to
duplicate.
– Inspect the vehicle for aftermarket electronic devices (vehicle locators, radar detector amps, etc.)
that may be hidden.
When troubleshooting navigation system problems,
ensure that the known-good vehicle is the same
software version year and model as the vehicle being
serviced. Mixing incompatible navigation DVDs or
other system components can delay the
troubleshooting process by creating effects unrelated to
the original problem.  If you need to replace the navigation unit, inform the
customer that personal information in the navigation
system may be lost. If possible, have the client record
their personal information before the unit is replaced
On ’07-08 models you can back-up the navigation
data and transfer it to a new navigation unit. See save
users memory (see page 23-150).
 Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio and the
navigation system, and write down the audio presets.
Also obtain any PGM-FI or transmission DTCs and
freeze frame date (which are lost when the ECM/PCM
loses power).
 When the battery is disconnected, the internal GPS clock is reset to 0:00. The clock will reset to the
correct time after the system finishes GPS
initialization.
 After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get the initial signal from the satellite. It will take from 10
to 45 minutes.
 Before returning the vehicle to the client, enter the audio and navigation anti-theft security code, then
enter the audio presets.
 Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.
If the navigation system loses power (like the battery
was disconnected), the navigation system requires
initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to
use.
This initialization requires the following:  Entering the 4-digit anti-theft security code to unlock the system
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power)
 Map matching to align the GPS to a location on the map

 Reconnect the battery and follow
the screen prompts proper GPS signal.
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.
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the
engine, then restart the vehicle. If the Disclaimer screen
appears, the GPS initialization is complete.
NOTE:
 The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
 If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears
again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-122).
 To bypass the GPS acquire screens, press and hold the Menu, and Zoom out keys at the same time.
Touch the Return button on the screen to exit the
diagnostic mode. This allows you to continue
troubleshooting while in the shop.
This part of the initialization matches the GPS
coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this
part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation
system displays 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. If the navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a
yearly
updated DVD, you have 2 ways to purchase one.
You can either call 888-291-4675, or order on-line at
www.hondanavi.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD cannot be
ordered through the parts system. The following DVDs
will not work in this navigation system:
 Earlier model navigation DVDs (black, orange, or older vesions with a white label)
 Map software programs manufactured by other companies
 DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
 Copies of an original Navigation DVD
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the
fall of each year. They may contain the following:  Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
 Fixes for minor software bugs
 Additional features
NOTE:  Map matching must be done any time the DVD is removed or replaced.
 Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD may
undergo a half a dozen software only version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remain
unchanged.
 Never promise your customers future free updates.
There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The on-time DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available, damaged discs are not
warrantable.
