Diagnostic Test: Self-Diagnosis Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Check the vehicle battery condition first.
- With good reception, the icon is normally green.
- Make sure the GPS antenna is plugged in.
- Check for any aftermarket accessories or metallic window tinting that may be interfering with the GPS signal.
- Make sure the vehicle is parked outside and away from buildings.
- Refer to GPS Information (see COVERAGE AREA ) for real time satellite reception display.
- Check for aftermarket metallic window tint on the rear window and electronic aftermarket accessories (possibly hidden) mounted near the GPS antenna or the audio-navigation unit.
Is there aftermarket metallic window tint or electronic accessories?
YES - Remove tint or the accessories, and recheck.
NO - Go to step 2.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Go into the Self-Diagnosis Mode, and use the System Links diagnostic (see SYSTEM LINKS
) to check the GPS antenna.
Is the GPS Anticon red?
YES - Check for a kinked, crushed, or disconnected GPS antenna wire. If icon is still red, replace the GPS antenna (see GPS ANTENNA REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
NO - Check that nothing is blocking the GPS antenna located in the dashboard, and recheck. Substitute a known-good GPS antenna, and recheck.
- If the symptom is gone, replace the GPS antenna.
- If the symptom is still present, substitute a known-good audio-navigation unit, and recheck. If the symptom is gone, replace the original audio-navigation unit (see AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
