Navigation system does not accept security code
- Check the vehicle battery condition first (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TEST ).
- The system will not operate without the 4-digit security (anti-theft) code. Follow the this procedure. (After 10 consecutive tries, you must cycle the key to continue trying)
- The Navigation System Diagnosis and Core Return Form is available online, under Job aids, and can be printed out for recording this information. This information will help the Reman facility determine what caused the failure.
- Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
- Before troubleshooting, make sure you have the antitheft code for the audio-navigation unit.
- Verify that the correct audio-navigation unit is installed for this model. Go into the Diagnostic mode and use Version (see VERSION ).
- Make sure that the correct navigation DVD color and version are installed.
- Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
- Go into the System diagnosis menu (see SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC MODE
). Select Unit check, and then Navi ECU. A brief diagnostic runs for 20 seconds, and the serial number is displayed.
Is the serial number displayed?
YES -Go to step 4.
NO -Go to step 2.
- Remove the audio-navigation unit (see AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Check the serial number on the label on the underside of the audio-navigation unit.
Is the serial number confirmed on the underside of the audio-navigation unit?
YES -Go to step 4.
NO -Replace the audio-navigation unit (see AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Using the serial number, look up the navigation security code in the Interactive Network (click: Service, Vehicle Information, Anti-Theft code Inquiry, and then select Navigation from the Product dropdown box). Enter the serial number.
Is a 4-digit code displayed on the screen?
YES -Go to step 5.
NO -Call the Warranty Department to obtain the code (the telephone number is in the PDI service bulletin). Then Go to step 5.
- Check that the obtained code works to bypass the code screen in the navigation system.
Does the code work?
YES -The system is OK at this time. Return the vehicle to the customer, and give them the antitheft code.
NO -Replace the audio-navigation unit, and enter "Won't take security code" (as proof, enclose the sticker that contains the serial number and the code) in the problem description field of the core return form.
