Interface Dial And Navigation Hard Buttons Do Not Work (2013 2014 2015)

NOTE:
  • Check the vehicle battery condition first .
  • Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
  • Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
  1. Problem verification

    -1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

    -2. Check if the navigation system operate properly by interface dial and navigation hard buttons.

    Do the interface dial and navigation hard buttons operate properly?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

    NO 

    The failure is duplicated, go to step 2.

  2. Open wire check (ACC line)

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

    Test condition ON mode
    Test circuit ACC
    Test point 1 Interface dial 5P connector No. 2 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The ACC wire is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the No. B19 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the interface dial.

  3. Open wire check (GND line)

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

    Test condition ON mode
    Test circuit GND
    Test point 1 Interface dial 5P connector No. 3 (GRY)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there less than 0.2 V?

    YES 

    The GND wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the wire between the interface dial and body ground (G502).

  4. Shorted wire check (JOG line)

    -1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P)
    Interface dial 5P connector

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition OFF mode
      Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P): disconnected
      Interface dial 5P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit JOG
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P) No. 17 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    There is a short to body ground in the wire between the audio-navigation unit and the interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

    NO 

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

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

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

    Test condition OFF mode
      Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P): disconnected
      Interface dial 5P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit SH JOG, JOG
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P) No. 2 (GRY)
    Test point 2 Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P) No. 17 (WHT)
    GHH473291Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    There is a short in the wires between the audio-navigation unit and the interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

    NO 

    The SH JOG 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
      Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P): disconnected
      Interface dial 5P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit JOG
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P) No. 17 (WHT)
    Test point 2 Interface dial 5P connector No. 5 (WHT)
    GHH473292Courtesy 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-navigation unit and the interface dial. Replace the affected shielded harness.

  7. Audio-navigation unit check

    -1. Substitute a known-good interface dial .

    -2. Reconnect all the connectors, and recheck.

    Does the symptom go away?

    YES 

    Replace the original interface dial.
