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. While this list is not comprehensive, it should answer your most common problems. 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 (See)
The power doesn’t turn on. The
navigation system doesn’t operate.
You cannot position your vehicle
on the map without a significant
positioning error.
You cannot position your vehicle
on the map without a significant
positioning error.
Leads and connectors are incorrectly connected.
The fuse (in the vehicle power charger) is blown.
Noise and other factors are causing
the built-in microprocessor to operate incorrectly.
Signal quality from the GPS satellites is poor causing reduced positioning accuracy. Such a loss of
signal quality may occur for the following reasons:
• This product is in an unsuitable location.
• Obstacles are blocking signals
from the satellites.
• The position of satellites relative to
your vehicle is inadequate.
• 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.)
• If a mobile phone is used near the
GPS module, GPS reception may be
lost temporarily.
Something covers this product’s
topside.
The navigation system may not be
mounted securely in your vehicle.
Indication of the position of your vehicle is misaligned after a U-turn or
reversing.
Confirm once more that all connections are
correct.
Rectify the reason for the fuse blowing, then
replace the fuse. Be very sure to install a correct fuse with the same rate.
Press RESET button. (Page 9)
Check the GPS signal reception, the position
of this product and the topside clearance if
necessary, or continue driving until reception
improves.
Do not cover this product with spray paint or
vehicle wax, because this may block the reception of GPS signals.
Check that the navigation system is securely
mounted and, if necessary, consult the dealer
that installed the system.
Check whether or not the reverse gear signal
input lead (violet) is connected properly. (The
navigation system works properly without the
lead connected, but positioning accuracy will
be adversely affected.)
