This diagnostic performs additional checks on the communication bus between the control unit and the display. In addition, the internal electronics and touch screen functionality are confirmed.
- When the connection is NG, first check for loose terminals at the navigation unit and the display unit connections. Next check for an open or short in the communication line between the navigation unit and the display unit. If the line is found to have an open or short, replace the affected shielded harness.
- If the ROM or RAM is NG, replace the display unit.
- The version represents the software version in the display.




Radio
This diagnostic checks the audio connections. If not OK, do the troubleshooting for audio system.

NOTE: This diagnostic cannot be canceled when running.

- If "V-RAM" or "D-RAM" is NG, then replace the navigation unit.
- If "GPS" indicates "NG (ANT)", then check the entire GPS antenna wire from the navigation unit to the antenna. If the wire is crushed or damaged, try a known good antenna. If this diagnostic reads OK, then order a new GPS antenna. If the diagnostic still reads NG (ANT), then replace the navigation unit.
- "DVD ROM" represents the database version on the DVD. This information can also be found in Setup Screen 4 by selecting System Information.
- "Serial No." should be the same as the serial number found on the underside of the navigation unit. This number is needed to obtain the security code from the Interactive Network (IN) system.
