Error itemPossible causes
Example of symptom
Action/symptom
Gyro sensor
disconnectedCommunications malfunction between NAVI control unit and
internal gyro
Navigation location detection performance
has deteriorated.
(Angular velocity cannot be detected.) Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference.
GPS discon-
nectedCommunication error between AV and NAVI control unit and
internal GPS substrateNavigation location detection performance
has deteriorated.
(Location correction using GPS is not per-
formed.)
GPS receiving status remains gray. Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference.

mission cable
malfunctionMalfunctioning transmission wires to AV and NAVI control unit
and internal GPS substrate
During self-diagnosis, GPS diagnosis is not
performed. Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference.

tion errorMalfunctioning receiving wires to AV and NAVI control unit and

has deteriorated.
(Location correction using GPS is not per-
formed.)
GPS receiving status remains gray. Perform the self-diagnosis.

ing oscillation circuit exceeded (or below) the specification
Navigation location detection performance
has deteriorated.
(Location correction using GPS is not per-
formed.)
GPS receiving status remains gray. Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference, or the control unit may have been sub-
jected to excessively high or low temperatures.
GPS ROM
malfunction
GPS RAM
malfunctionContents of ROM (or RAM) in GPS substrate are malfunctioning.Location detection accuracy of the navigation
system will deteriorate, depending on the
failed area in the memory, because GPS
cannot make correct positioning.
(Location correction using GPS is not per-
formed.) Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference.
GPS RTC
malfunctionClock IC in GPS substrate is malfunctioning.Correct time may not be displayed.
After the power is turned on, the system
always takes some time until GPS position-
ing becomes possible. (The GPS receiver
starts positioning without re-collecting the
whole satellite information when it judged the
data stored in the receiver is correct.)
Correct time of error occurrence may not be
stored in the “History of Errors”. Perform the self-diagnosis.
When the AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom may be intermittent, caused by strong
radio interference.

Action/symptom
GPS antenna
disconnectedMalfunctioning connection between GPS substrate in AV and
NAVI control unit and GPS antenna.Navigation location detection performance
has deteriorated.
(Location correction using GPS is not per-
formed.)
GPS receiving status remains gray. Perform the self-diagnosis.
When connection between AV and NAVI control unit and GPS
antenna is judged normal by self-diagnosis, the symptom may
be intermittent, caused by impact or vibration.
Low voltage

Dedicated map DVD-ROM is in the system, but the data cannot
be read.
The map of a particular location cannot be
displayed.
Specific guidance information cannot be dis-
played.
Map display is slow.
Guidance information display is slow.
System has been affected by vibration. Is map DVD-ROM damaged, warped, or dirty?
– If damaged or warped, the map DVD-ROM is malfunctioning.
– If dirty, wipe the DVD-ROM clean with a soft cloth.
Perform the self-diagnosis.
When AV and NAVI control unit is judged normal by self-
diagnosis, the symptom is judged intermittent, caused by
vibration.
