How to Check Error History: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Error History feature is to record some intermittent navigation issues that occur while using the system. Sometimes the customer complaint cannot be duplicated. The error history may record the information needed to diagnose the problem.' To check the error history:

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Press and hold the MAP/GUIDE, MENU, and CANCEL buttons for 3 seconds.
  3. When the Select Diagnosis Items menu is displayed, select Self-Diagnosis Mode.
