Troubleshooting
If you have problems operating your navigation system, refer to this section. The most common
problems are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. If a solution to your problem
cannot be found here, contact your dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer service facility.
Problems with the navigation screen
Symptom
Cause
Action (Reference)
The power does not turn on.
The navigation system does
not operate.
Leads and connectors are incorrectly
connected.
Confirm once more that all connections
are correct.
The fuse is blown.
Rectify the reason for the fuse blowing,
then replace the fuse. Always install a
correct fuse with the same rating.
Noise and other factors are causing
the built-in microprocessor to operate
incorrectly.
Park your vehicle in a safe place, and
turn off the engine. Turn the ignition key
back to off (ACC OFF). Then restart the
engine, and turn the power to the
navigation system back on.
You cannot position your
vehicle on the map without a
significant positioning error.
The GPS aerial is in an unsuitable
location.
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, impairing positioning
accuracy. Check the GPS signal
reception and the position of the GPS
aerial if necessary.
Obstacles are blocking signals from
the satellites.
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, causing reduced
positioning accuracy. Check the GPS
signal reception and the position of the
GPS aerial if necessary, or continue
driving until reception improves. Keep
the aerial clean.
The position of satellites relative to
your vehicle is inadequate.
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, impairing positioning
accuracy. Continue driving until
reception improves.
Signals from the GPS satellites have
been modified to reduce accuracy.
(GPS satellites are operated by the
US Department of Defense, and the
US government reserves the right to
distort positioning data for military
reasons. This may lead to greater
positioning errors.)
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, causing reduced
positioning accuracy. Wait until
reception improves.
If a vehicle phone or mobile phone is
used near the GPS aerial, GPS
reception may be lost temporarily.
The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, impairing positioning
accuracy. When using a mobile phone,
keep its aerial away from the GPS
aerial.
You cannot position your
vehicle on the map without a
significant positioning error.
Something is covering the GPS
aerial.
Do not cover the GPS aerial with spray
paint or vehicle wax, because this may
block the reception of GPS signals.
Snow buildup can also degrade the
signals.
Indication of the position of your
vehicle is misaligned after a U-turn or
reversing.
Check whether or not the reverse gear
signal input lead (violet) is properly
connected. (The navigation system
works properly without the lead
connected, but positioning accuracy will
be adversely affected.)
