System DescriptionEKS00BJD
NOTE:
Refer to NAVI System Owner's Manual for system operation.
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals: Travel distance of
the vehicle as determined by the vehicle speed sensor, turning angle
of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope (angular velocity sen-
sor), and the direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS
antenna (GPS information).
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and
indicated on the screen with a current-location mark.
By comparing the vehicle position detection results found by the
GPS and by map-matching, more accurate vehicle position data can
be used.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.
TRAVEL DISTANCE
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation
may become incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic distance fine adjustment function
has been adopted. Adjustments can be made in extreme cases (such as driving with tire chain fitted on tires).
Refer to AV- 11 7 , "
Confirmation/Adjustment Mode" .
TRAVEL DIRECTION
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS
antenna (GPS information). As the gyroscope and GPS antenna have both merit and demerit, input signals
from them are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with more
detailed travel conditions so that the travel direction is detected more accurately.

SEL684V
Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity sensor)

Can detect the vehicle's turning angle
quite accurately.
Direction errors may accumulate when the
vehicle is driven for long distances without
stopping.
GPS antenna (GPS information)

Can detect the vehicle's travel direction
(North/South/East/West).
Correct direction cannot be detected when
the vehicle speed is low.

BASIC OPERATION
VEHICLE MARK
SymptomCause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to
DARK side. Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high. Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle
is driving on a dark pink route.
System is not malfunctioning.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow. Temperature inside the vehicle is low.
Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen. Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display (dis-
play unit). System is not malfunction.
Symptom
Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW ™
Name of the place varies with the
screen. Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing. System is not malfunctioning.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly. Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF. Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON. The daytime screen is selected by the
“SWITCH
SCREENS ” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function. Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by
“SWITCH SCREENS ”.
Map screen will not scroll in accor-
dance with the vehicle travel. Current location is not displayed.
Press “MAP ” button to display the current
location.
Vehicle mark will not be shown. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP ” button to display the current
location.
Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite
mark) on the map screen stays
gray. GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the
vehicle is in or behind a building.
Move the vehicle out to an open space.
GPS satellite signal cannot be received because
an obstacle is placed on top of the instrument
panel. Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion. Wait until GPS satellites are visible by mov-
ing the vehicle.
Vehicle location accuracy is low. Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite mark) on the map screen stays gray. Current location is not determined.
Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle. Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and
the deviation will be automatically adjusted.
If advancement or retard still occur, perform
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis
function.
Map data has error or omission. (Vehicle mark is
always deviated to the same position.) As a rule, an updated map DVD
–ROM will
be released once a year.

BCS-6
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

When BCM is in sleep mode, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low-cur-
rent-consumption mode. OUTPUTS (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF at 60 ms intervals, and receives lighting
switch input only.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information through the two communication lines (CAN-L, CAN-H)
connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit transmits/receives data, but selectively
reads required data only.
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to reduce power consumption.
1. CAN communication status

With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.

Control by BCM is being operated properly.

When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.

Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status

This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.

It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.

Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status

With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.

With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.

Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
4. Sleep status
