The hardwired circuits between components related to the radio and the navigation system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING PROCEDURES or CONNECTOR TERMINAL REMOVAL or CONNECTOR TERMINAL INSTALLATION .
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the radio or the electronic controls and communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the navigation system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the radio or the electronic controls and communication related to navigation system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The navigation system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the navigation system components is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced. The external combination antenna can be repaired separately from the radio. The navigation system software as well as the map data is flash programmable through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
