System Description
- NAVIGATION SYSTEM OUTLINE
- Vehicle position tracking methods
- It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.
HINT:
*: GPS (Global Positioning System)
NAVIGATION SYSTEM OPERATION DESCRIPTION CHARTOperation Description Vehicle Position Calculation The navigation receiver assembly calculates the current vehicle position (direction and current position) using the direction deviation signal from the gyro sensor and running distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor and creates the driving route. Map Display Processing The navigation receiver assembly processes the vehicle position data, vehicle running track, and map data from the map disc. Map Matching The map data from the map disc is compared to the vehicle position and running track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the nearest road. GPS Correction The vehicle position is matched to the position calculated by the GPS. Then, the calculated position data from the GPS unit is compared with the vehicle position and running track data. If the position is very different, the GPS calculated position is used. Distance Correction The running distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor includes error caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road surface. Distance correction is performed to account for this. The navigation ECU automatically offsets the running distance signal to make up for the difference between it and the distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated. HINT:
The combination of autonomous and GPS navigations makes it possible to display the vehicle position even when the vehicle is in places where the GPS radio wave cannot be received. When only autonomous navigation is used, the mapping accuracy may slightly decline.
- It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.
- Autonomous navigation
This method determines the relative vehicle position based on the running track determined by the gyro and vehicle speed sensors located in the navigation receiver assembly.
- Gyro sensor
Calculates the direction by detecting angular velocity. It is located in the navigation receiver assembly.
- Vehicle speed sensor
Used to calculate the vehicle running distance.
- Gyro sensor
- GPS navigation (satellite navigation) This method detects the absolute vehicle position using radio waves from a GPS satellite*.

GPS NAVIGATION (SATELLITE NAVIGATION) DESCRIPTION CHARTNumber of Satellites Measurement Description 2 or less Measurement impossible The vehicle position cannot be obtained because the number of satellites is not enough. 3 2-dimensional measurement is possible The vehicle position is obtained based on current longitude and latitude (this is less precise than 3-dimensional measurement). 4 3-dimensional measurement is possible The vehicle position is obtained based on current longitude, latitude and altitude. - Map matching
The current driving route is calculated by autonomous navigation (according to the gyro sensor and vehicle speed sensor) and GPS navigation. This information is then compared with possible road shapes from the map data in the map disc and the vehicle position is set onto the most appropriate road.

- NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY OUTLINE
- Conventionally, 2 separate devices, a "radio and display" and a "navigation ECU" are used. This model has adopted a new type, combining these devices into a signal unit.
- Touch switches are touch-sensitive (interactive) switches operated by touching the screen. When a switch is pressed, the outer glass bends to contact the inner glass at the pressed position. By doing this, the voltage ratio is measured and the pressed position is detected.
- DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) PLAYER OUTLINE (for Navigation Map)
- The navigation receiver assembly (built-in navigation ECU) uses a laser pickup to read the digital signals recorded on a DVD.CAUTION: Because the navigation system uses an invisible laser beam, do not look directly at the laser pickup. Be sure to only operate the navigation as instructed.NOTE:
- Do not disassemble any part of the navigation receiver assembly (built-in navigation ECU).
- Do not apply oil to the navigation receiver assembly (built-in navigation ECU).
- Do not insert anything but a DVD into the navigation receiver assembly (built-in navigation ECU).
- The navigation receiver assembly (built-in navigation ECU) uses a laser pickup to read the digital signals recorded on a DVD.
- CD (Compact Disc) PLAYER OUTLINE
- A compact disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a compact disc (CD). By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music and other content.NOTE:
- Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
- Do not apply oil to the CD player.
- Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.
CAUTION: Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed. - Usable discs

- RADIO DESCRIPTION
- Radio frequency band
- Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.
- Service area
- The service areas of AM and FM broadcasts are vastly different. Sometimes an AM broadcast can be received very clearly but an FM stereo cannot. FM stereo has the smallest service area, and is prone to pick up static and other types of interference such as noise.
- Radio reception problems
HINT:
In addition to static, other problems such as "phasing", "multipath", and "fade out" exist. These problems are not caused by electrical noise, but by the radio signal propagation method itself.
- Phasing
AM broadcasts are susceptible to electrical interference and another kind of interference called phasing. Occurring only at night, phasing is the interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off the ionosphere and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.
- Multipath
Multipath is a type of interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off buildings or mountains and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.
- Fade out
Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains, and other such large obstacles) that deflect away part of a signal, resulting in a weaker signal when the object is between the transmitter and vehicle. High frequency radio waves, such as FM broadcasts, are easily deflected by obstructions. Low frequency radio waves, such as AM broadcasts, are much more difficult to deflect.
- Phasing
- Noise problem
Technicians must have a clear understanding about each customer's noise complaint. Use the following table to diagnose noise problems.
NOISE PROBLEM CHARTRadio Frequency Noise Occurrence Condition Presumable Cause AM Noise occurs in a specified area Foreign noise AM Noise occurs when listening to an intermittent broadcast An identical program transmitted from multiple towers can cause noise where the signals overlap AM Noise occurs only at night Music beat from a distant broadcast FM Noise occurs while driving in a specified area Multipath or phasing noise resulting from a change in FM frequency HINT:
If the noise does not match the examples above, refer to the descriptions about phasing and multipath.
- Radio frequency band
- ASL (Automatic Sound Levelizer) FUNCTION OUTLINE
- The ASL (Automatic Sound Levelizer) function automatically adjusts the sound data in order to maintain clear audio sound even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up etc.). Vehicle speed signals are received from the combination meter and used for the ASL (Automatic Sound Levelizer).
- AVC-LAN DESCRIPTION
- What is AVC-LAN?
AVC-LAN, an abbreviation for "Audio Visual Communication Local Area Network", is a united standard developed by manufacturers in affiliation with Toyota Motor Corporation. This standard pertains to audio and visual signals as well as switch and communication signals.
- Purpose
Recently, car audio systems have rapidly developed and the functions have vastly changed. The conventional car audio system is being integrated with multimedia interfaces similar to those in navigation systems. At the same time, customers are demanding higher quality from their audio systems. This is merely an overview of the standardization background. The specific purposes are as follows:
- To solve sound problems, etc. caused by using components of different manufacturers through signal standardization.
- To allow each manufacturer to concentrate on developing products they do best. From this, reasonably priced products can be produced.
HINT:
- If a short to +B or short to ground is detected in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and the navigation system will stop functioning.
- The multi-display unit acts as the master unit.
- What is AVC-LAN?
- COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OUTLINE
- Components of the navigation system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN.
- The navigation receiver assembly has enough resistance (60 to 80 Ω) necessary for transmitting communication signals. This is essential for communication.
- If a short circuit or open circuit occurs in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and the navigation system will stop functioning.
- DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION OUTLINE
- The navigation system has a diagnostic function (the result is indicated on the master unit).
- Each component has a specified number (3-digit) called a physical address. Each function has a number (2-digit) called a logical address.
- A 3-digit hexadecimal component code (physical address) is allocated to each component on the AVC-LAN. Using this code, the component in the diagnostic function can be displayed.
