Service Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the navigation unit needs to be replaced, inform the customer that personal information in the navigation system will be lost. If possible, have the customer record their personal information before the unit is replaced. On '07-08 models you can back-up the navigation data and transfer it to a new navigation unit. See save users memory (see SAVE USERS MEMORY '07-08 MODELS ).
Check for service bulletins or service news articles that may relate to the customer's concern.
Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio and the navigation system, and write down the audio presets.
The navigation unit is located under the passenger's seat. The unit can be damaged if fluids leak down through the passenger's seat, such as a spilled beverage.
When the battery is disconnected, the internal GPS clock is reset to "0:00". The clock will reset to the correct time after the system finishes GPS initialization.
After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get the initial signal from the satellite. It will take from 10 to 45 minutes.
Verify map matching.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter the audio and navigation system anti-theft security codes, then enter the audio presets.
Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.
