Mic Level
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit and 2012 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This diagnosis allows you to independently test the microphone and the HFL-voice control switch. The TALK button is used to activate the voice control system. The microphone is located near the map light in the roof console. The microphones can now isolate the driver's voice even when there is noise or other conversations in the vehicle. To properly check the microphone, make sure you are sitting in the driver's seat.
This diagnosis checks whether the microphone;and the HFL-voice control switch are connecting to the HandsFreeLink control unit. If Mic and/or STRG SW shows HFL DTCs (B1775, B1776, B1779, and/or B1780), go to indicated HFL DTC TROUBLESHOOTING .
- Press the TALK button, wait unit you hear a beep, and in a normal voice say "testing". The TALK indicator on the screen should momentarily turn green, and the text Now Recording... should appear in yellow. If the talk indicator shown on the screen does not briefly turn green when you press the TALK button, do the voice control switch test. If there is no Mic Level movement when you speak, then you should check the wires running from the microphone in the roof console to the HandsFreeLink control unit and the audio-navigation unit. If the wires are OK, the microphone must be faulty, replace the microphone located in the roof console (see HFT-NAVIGATION MICROPHONE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Press the Pick-up, Hang-up/Back buttons. This should cause the each indicator on the screen to momentarily turn green. If it does not briefly turn green, do the voice control switch test (see VOICE CONTROL SWITCH TEST ).
