Car Status

Use this screen to confirm that the navigation unit is properly receiving input signals. Signals equal to (0) are OFF, and signals equal to (1) are ON. If the value on the display does not match the actual vehicle status, then check the wire carrying the signal.

• VSP-Vehicle Speed Pulse from PCM (Pin 6 of C-connector)
  1. OFF (0) when vehicle is not moving
  2. ON (1) when vehicle is moving

The VSP comes from the PCM as a dedicated signal. Internally, the navigation unit compares the actual VP on the map against street data to adjust the pulse to speed scaling factor. As this scaling factor becomes more accurate, the Level gradually increases from 0 to 10 (see the Tire Calibrate diagnostic screen).

• BACK-Reverse indication from taillight relay (Pin 5 of C-connector)
  1. OFF (0) when the shift lever is in any position other than reverse
  2. ON (1) when the shift lever is in reverse

The Back signal is used by the navigation unit to allow the map screen to show the VP moving backwards when in reverse. This signal is needed because the Speed Pulse has no direction indication.

• ILL CANCEL

  This function is not applied to this model.

• ILL-Illumination Indication (Pin 5 of navigation unit A-connector)
  1. OFF (0) when parking lights, or headlights are off
  2. ON (1) when parking lights, or headlights are on

The navigation uses the signal to determine whether to put the navigation screen into the Day or Night brightness mode. (Setup screen 1)

• DVD Lid-senses if the DVD door is open
  1. (Close) when the door is closed
  2. (Open) when the door is open

The navigation unit has a micro switch to detect this. If open is indicated when the door is closed, replace the navigation unit.
