    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector

    -3. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition ON mode

  4. Shorted wire check (JOG line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    Audio unit connector F (18P)

    -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition OFF mode
      Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector: disconnected
      Audio unit connector F (18P): disconnected

    Test point 1 Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector No. 4 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH461792Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    There is a short to body ground in the wire between the audio unit and the center switch panel/interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

    NO 

    The JOG wire is not shorted to ground. Go to step 5.

  5. Shorted wire check (JOG SH line to JOG line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition OFF mode
      Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector: disconnected
      Audio unit connector F (18P): disconnected
    Test circuit JOG SH, JOG
    Test point 1 Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector No. 4 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector No. 5 (BLK)
    GHH461793Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    There is a short in the wires between the audio unit and the center switch panel/interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

    NO 

    The JOG SH and the JOG wires are not shorted. Go to step 6.

  6. Open wire check (JOG line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition OFF mode
      Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector: disconnected
      Audio unit connector F (18P): disconnected
    Test circuit JOG
    Test point 1 Audio unit connector F (18P) No. 16 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Center switch panel/interface dial 7P connector No. 4 (WHT)
    GHH461794Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The JOG wire is OK. Go to step 7.

    NO 

    There is an open in the wire between the audio unit and the center switch panel/interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

  7. Center switch panel/interface dial check (substitution)
