The System Links function runs automatically and displays a flashing message at the bottom of the screen reminding you to have the engine running for the test. The diagnosis tests the following:

When the diagnosis finishes, the icons turn different colors based on their test status. The color definitions are shown below and can also be seen by selecting Help on the System Links screen.

The indication on the screen may not change until you exit and reenter the Self-Diagnosis mode. In some cases, you may have to restart the engine for the indication to change. After you repair the affected component or harness, repeat this diagnosis.

Each icon color is explained in the table.

Icon Colors Description
Green The system ran a diagnosis and the results are OK.
Red Errors that may require replacement of hardware or harness. Examples are connection error or memory diagnosis errors. Troubleshoot for navigation DTCs.
Yellow Errors that do not require hardware replacement, such as an open display cover, leaving the vehicle in ACC mode, or because of a missing accessory.
White The diagnosis is running. The screen functions are locked out while the diagnosis runs.
