Car Status

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use this screen to confirm that the navigation unit is properly receiving input signals. Signals equal to (0) are OFF, and signals equal to (1) are ON. If the value on the display does not match the actual vehicle status, then check the wire carrying the signal.

VSP-Vehicle Speed Pulse from PCM (Navigation unit connector A (8P) terminal No. 7)
1. OFF (0) when vehicle is not moving
2. ON (1) when vehicle is moving

The VSP comes from the PCM as a dedicated signal. Internally, the navigation unit compares the actual VP on the map against street data to adjust the pulse to speed scaling factor. As this scaling factor becomes more accurate, the Level gradually increases from 0 to 10.

BACK-Reverse indication from taillight relay (Navigation unit connector A (8P) terminal No. 8)
1. OFF (0) when the shift lever is in any position other than reverse
2. ON (1) when the shift lever is in reverse

The Back signal is used by the navigation unit to allow the map screen to show the VP moving backwards when in reverse. This signal is needed because the Speed Pulse has no direction indication.

IGNITION-Ignition Switch Position Indication (Navigation unit connector B (32P) terminals No. 9 and No. 25)
Detects if the engine is running is running using information provided over the F-CAN bus.
1. OFF (0) when the ignition switch position is in ACCESSORY (I)
2. ON (1) when the ignition switch position is in ON (II)
ILL-Illumination Indication (Navigation unit connector B (32P) terminal No. 12)
1. OFF (0) When parking lights or headlights are off
2. ON (1) when parking lights, or headlights are on

The illumionation cancel function is activated by increasing the dash brightness to MAX. The F-CAN bus passes this information from the gauge control module to the navigation unit.

ILL CANCEL
This item detects whether the illumination cancel function is in use.
1. OFF (0) if illumination cancel is not selected
2. ON (1) if illumination cancel is activated

The illumination cancel function is activated by increasing the dash brightness to MAX. The F-CAN bus passes this information from the gauge control module to the navigation unit.

NOTE: This setting is unaffected by the display mode hard button located below and to the left of the interface dial.
