Navigation System
ENTERTAINMENT
5. Navigation System
A: WIRING DIAGRAM
B: INSPECTION
1. CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE NAVI-
GATION.
Start the engine, and then inspect that the opening
screen is displayed.
Standard value: The opening screen should be dis-
played.
OK: Normal
NG: When not displayed, check the signal line con-
nector and the audio connector. If there are no
problems in the connecting lines or the lines were
repaired, check that the opening screen is dis-
played.
At this point, if the display is not viewable, the unit is
defective.
2. CHECK THE DVD-ROM.
An opening screen is displayed, then it switches to
the map screen after a while.
When a screen other than the opening screen is
displayed, press the «MAP» key.
Standard value: The map screen should be dis-
played.
OK: Normal
NG: If the map screen is not displayed, check
whether the DVD-ROM is set in the navigation sys-
tem, whether the correct side is set, type of the
DVD-ROM, the existence of any scratches, etc. If
there are no problems on the DVD-ROM, the main
body is defective.
3. CHECK EACH CONNECTION
If there are no problems in the inspections of 1 and
2 above, use “
vice to perform inspection.
4. SWITCHING TO CONNECTION INSPEC-
TION MODE
1) Press the menu key.
2) Select navigation setup from the menu screen.
3) Select navigation information from the naviga-
tion setup screen.
4) Select the vehicle signal from the navigation in-
formation screen.
5) The display will switch to the vehicle signal (for
connection inspection) screen.
6) Check that the display changes according to
each operation
ON: Normal
NG: Check the circuit when the display does not
change.
5. CHECK THE GPS ANTENNA
NOTE:
When checking the GPS antenna, perform the
check operation outdoors to improve the receiver
sensitivity.
Make sure that a value other than “zero” is dis-
played in the GPS item.
OK: Normal
NG: If “No positioning” is displayed, check the GPS
antenna connection.
If the GPS display is red, the main unit could be
faulty.
6. CHECK THE BACK SENSOR
NOTE:
Before starting inspections, inspect the safety
around the rear end of the vehicle.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Pull the parking brake and depress the brake,
then put the gear in reverse.
3) Make sure that “On” is lit in the back sensor item.
Standard Value: “On” should be lit.
On: Normal
NG: If “On” does not light, check the signal line con-
nection. If there are no problems, the unit could be
faulty.
7. CHECK THE ILLUMINATION
1) Turn the lighting switch to level 1.
NOTE:
Make sure that the bright switch is not turned ON at
this time.
2) Make sure that “On” lights in the illumination
item, then the screen fades out.
Standard Value: “On” should be lit.
OK: Normal
NG: If “On” does not light, check the signal line con-
nection. If there are no problems, the unit could be
faulty.
8. CHECK THE PARKING SIGNAL
NOTE:
The side brake signal is normally “OFF”, so operat-
ing it will produce no change.

Refrigerant Leak Check
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
5. Refrigerant Leak Check
A: INSPECTION
1) At engine speed below 1500rpm, operate the A/
C system for approx. 10 minutes, and confirm that
the high-side pressure shows at least 690 kPa
(7.03 kg/cm2, 100 psi). Then stop the engine to
start the leak test.
2) Starting from the connection between high-pres-
sure pipe and evaporator, check the system for
leaks along the high-pressure side through the
compressor. The following items must be checked
thoroughly.
3) Check the joint and seam between pressure
switch (dual switch) and high-pressure pipe.
4) Check the connections between condenser and
pipes, and welded joints on the condenser.
The leak tester may detect the oil on the condenser
fins as a leak.
5) Check the joint between compressor and hoses.
6) Check the machined area of the compressor and
other joints on the compressor.
7) Check the compressor shaft seal at the area
near the center of compressor clutch pulley.
Some shaft seals show a slight amount of leakage,
about 3 g (0.1 oz) per year. This is not a problem.
8) Starting from the connection between low-pres-
sure pipe and evaporator, check the system for
leakage along the low-pressure side through the
compressor. The following items must be checked
thoroughly.
•Connection between 2 parts
•Connection between pipe and plate
•Connection between pipes
9) Visually check the rubber area of the flexible
hose for cracks.
Check the entire length of the flexible hose, espe-
cially the connection with the metal hose end.
CAUTION:
Carefully check the external surface of hoses
and tubes at approx. 25 mm (0.98 in) per sec-
ond.
10) Disconnect the drain hose from the heater
case, and check the hose end for at least 10 sec-
onds.
After the test is finished, reconnect the drain hose.
11) Turn the ignition key to the ON position, and
run the blower at high speed for approx. 1 minute.
Stop the blower to check the ventilation grill on the
instrument panel. While moving the tester closer to
the grill, run the blower for 1 or 2 seconds, then stop
it. Check the grill at that point for at least 10 sec-
onds.
12) Check the valve in the service port.
13) Visually check the rubber seal in the service
port cap.
