System Link

System Link 

1. Enter this screen by connecting the SCS service connector or by selecting Self-Diagnosis Mode in the Select Diagnosis Items screen. While in the diagnosis, the message at the bottom of the screen flashes indicating the Diagnosis in progress...

NOTE: The system cannot complete a full diagnosis unless the engine is running.The diagnosis tests the following:
  • Most of the wires connecting the navigation components are shown in the block diagram.
  • The results from the various components shown in the block diagram.
  • The audio-navigation unit tests the microphone by listening to the bong sound produced by the audio-navigation unit from the speakers when the diagnosis is started. This requires that the audio system be operating normally.
  • The A/C icon turns red when the vehicle is in ACC mode. With the vehicle is in ACC mode, the climate control unit is turned off and the audio-navigation unit loses communication and the A/C icon turns red. Check System Link with the engine running, and if the A/C icon turns green, the system is OK at this time.

2. When the diagnosis finishes, the icons turn different colors based on their test status.

Icon Colors Description
Green The system ran a diagnosis and the results are OK.
Red Errors that require replacement of hardware or harness. Examples are connection error or memory diagnosis errors. Check for hard error codes .
Yellow Errors that do not require hardware replacement, such as 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.
Gray The system cannot automatically check this function. You have to select the diagnosis item and manually do additional testing, like checking the navigation buttons in the Hard Key test. When you complete the Hard Key test and return to the System Link menu, the gray icon turns green.

3. Rotate the interface dial to select the icon you want to diagnose. Press in the interface dial knob to see the details of that diagnostic function.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.
