Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Audio System Self-Diagnostic Function
The audio system has a self-diagnostic function.
The audio-navigation unit (with navigation) does not support this function.
NOTE:
- Not all self-diagnostic functions appear on all models.
- There may be other self-diagnostic functions that are for factory use only.
- The self-diagnostic function does not find every problem with the audio system. Check any official Honda service website for more information about the audio system.
