Circuit Description

The navigation display head (NDH) communicates with the navigation module (NAV) over two dedicated lines. These are the navigation display serial data high circuit and the navigation display serial data low circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The navigation display head (NDH) must detect a power mode transition from the OFF-ASLEEP state to one of the following:

    • ACC
    • ON

The navigation display head (NDH) does not set this DTC if B1327 or B1328 is current.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

There is no response from the NAV when queried by the NDH.

The NDH does not receive a command from the NAV after 15 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The display does not update or change functions or the screen may become blank.

The message LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH NAVIGATION PROCESSOR may appear on the display.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The NDH receives a response from the NAV.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Test for intermittent shorts and opens on the navigation display serial data high circuit and the navigation display serial data low circuit.
    • Test for intermittent shorts and opens on the navigation module (NAV) supply and ground circuits.

Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems.

Important:: The communications circuits will not be at a constant steady voltage level.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the NAV connector C1.
  3. Turn ON the ignition with the engine off.
  4. Measure the voltage between the following:
    5. • The navigation display serial data high circuit and ground
    • The navigation display serial data low circuit and ground

Ignoring polarity, is the voltage within the range specified?

2.0-3.0 V

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 3

Test the following circuits for an open, a short to ground, a short to voltage or shorted together:

    • The navigation display serial data high circuit
    • The navigation display serial data low circuit

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
