This diagnostic tests the cables connecting the navigation components. Ensure that the ignition switch is 
in the ON (II) position. When the diagnostic begins, a "bong" sound is heard. The system is in a 
"Detecting" mode, and is waiting for all items in white to be tested. This includes the steering wheel 
(TALK/BACK) switches, and microphone, Push the "TALK" button on the steering wheel, and in a 
normal voice, say "testing". The Talk indicator on the screen should become green, and the voice level 
indicator should move to the 6

cause the "Cancel" indicator to go green. 

z

If all of the communication lines connecting the system components, and the steering wheel 
buttons/microphone check out OK (all block diagram items green), then the "OK" indicator will become 
green.  

z

If there is a problem with the system, the faulty system component item will change to red, and the screen 
will show "NG" in red. Use the troubleshooting index, and other diagnostic screens to help locate the 
problem.  

z

The indication on the screen will not change until the ignition switch is cycled. After repairing the 
affected cable or system, repeat this diagnostic.  

z

NOTE: Green boxes and green "OK" indicate that the communications lines (cables) are intact. This 
diagnostic does not necessarily imply that the individual components are functioning properly. For 
instance, the GPS antenna wire may be crushed, but still show as "green." A road test, or other diagnostic 
may be necessary to find the problem.

Touch the "Exit Diag" button to exit.

F-CAN System Link 

F-CAN (Fast Controller Area Network) passes information between processors on the network. For example, 
the F-CAN network is used to pass fuel pulses between the PCM and the navigation for the trip computer 
function. The F-CAN network uses a communication protocol that transmits data at 500 Kbps.

If the diagnostic screen below reads NG, then diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for the F-CAN can be 
retrieved with a PGM Tester or HDS (Honda Diagnostic System). The data displayed in the ID boxes is
