Start-up procedure and Diagnostic Menu: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are two ways to enter the diagnostic mode:
Mode 1:
Start the vehicle, and at the disclaimer screen use the navigation display hard buttons:
Press and hold the MAP/GUIDE, MENU, and CANCEL, buttons for about 3 seconds. The display screen goes directly to the Select Diagnosis Items menu shown.
- Self-Diagnosis Mode (runs the automatic diagnosis of the navigation system)
- Detail Information & Setting (Can help you to manually diagnose the navigation system)
Mode 2:
Start the vehicle. When the globe screen appears, connect the SCS service connector (see FORCED STARTING OF THE AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT ) to the navigation service connector located by passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box. The screen changes to the System Links screen, and automatically begins running the self diagnostic. See the System Links section for more information.
NOTE:
When finished troubleshooting, make sure to remove the SCS service connector.
