4. Note the software version marked on the navigation DVD label and verify if it is the correct
version for the vehicle year/model you are working
on by checking any official Honda service website
for more service information about the navigation
system and navigation software.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-155).
Go to step 5.
5. Obtain the correct version DVD (see page 23-94), and install it.
The problem is resolved, troubleshooting is
complete. The system still shows an Honda Globe
Screen. Replace the navigation unit (see page
23-155). 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Press and hold the Menu, the Map/Guide, and the

 This diagnostic step tests the cables connecting the
navigation components. Ensure that the ignition
switch is in the ON (II) position. When the diagnosis
begins, you hear a bong sound. The system is in a
Detecting mode, and is waiting for all the items in
white to be tested. This includes the voice control
switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the
microphone. Press the navigation TALK button on the
steering wheel, and in a normal voice, say ‘‘testing’’.
The Talk indicator on the screen should turn green,
and the voice level indicator should move to at least
the 6th bar to pass. Next, press the navigation BACK
button. The Cancel indicator should turn green.
 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
maybenecessarytofindtheproblem.  Select Return to return to the Diagnostic Menu, or the
Exit Diag button to exit.
NOTE: The Mic Level indicator must reach the 6th bar
or greater to pass the test.
