How to Check Error History (Navigation DTCs)

NOTE: The navigation DTCs cannot be retrieved with the HDS.

The Error History feature is to record intermittent navigation issues that occur while the customer is using the system. Sometimes the customer complaint cannot be duplicated. The error history may record the information needed to diagnose the problem. To check the error history:

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Press and hold the MAP/GUIDE, the DEST, and the CANCEL buttons for 3 seconds.
  3. When the Select Diagnosis Items menu appears, select the Self-Diagnosis Mode.

  4. When the audio-navigation unit has hard error codes, the Error History icon appears yellow when the Self-Diagnosis Mode (System Links) screen is displayed. When no hard error codes are stored, the icon appears gray. To view the errors with their navigation DTC, select the Error History icon.
