Car Status

Use this screen to confirm that the audio-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, check the wire carrying the signal.

• VSP-Vehicle Speed Pulse from ECM/PCM (Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 15)
  1. OFF (0) when the vehicle is not moving
  2. ON (1) when the vehicle is moving

The VSP comes from the ECM/PCM as a dedicated signal. Internally, the audio-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 front reverse relay circuit or back-up light switch (Audio-navigation unit connector G (16P) terminal No. 10)
  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 audio-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 (Audio-navigation unit connector H (28P) terminals No. 12 and No. 15)

  Detects if the engine is running is running using information provided over the F-CAN bus.

  1. OFF (0) when the ignition switch is in ACCESSORY (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode.
  2. ON (1) when the ignition switch is in ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

• ILL-Illumination Indication (Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 13)
  1. OFF (0) when parking lights, or headlights are off
  2. ON (1) when parking lights, or headlights are on

The navigation uses the signal to determine whether to put the navigation screen into the Day or Night brightness mode. (Setup screen 1)

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, This 'information is passed from the gauge control module to the audio-navigation unit.
