Audio-Navigation System DTC 1306

DTC 1306  : Vehicle Speed Pulse

NOTE:
  • Check the vehicle 12 volt battery condition first .
  • This navigation DTC sets when there is a problem with the VSP circuit.
  • Check for aftermarket accessories that may interfere with the navigation system.
  • Check the GPS reception in an open area (vehicle position should be detected in three dimensions).
  • Aftermarket metallic window tint or electronic devices located near the audio-navigation unit or GPS antenna can potentially interfere with the operation of the navigation system.
  • Before you troubleshoot, make sure to follow the General Troubleshooting Information .
  • Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
  • Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the hard error codes .

    -2. Wait for at least 6 seconds.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the READY TO DRIVE mode.

    -4. Test-drive the vehicle at steady speed more than 12 mph (20 km/h) for about 1 minute.

    -5. Check for hard error codes .

    Is DTC 1306 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated, go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

  2. Determine possible failure area (audio-navigation unit, others)

    -1. Go into the System Diagnostic Mode, and select the Vehicle status in the Unit Check.

    -2. With the help of an assistant test-drive the vehicle, and watch the VSP status.

    Does the VSP change from [0] (stopped) to [1] (driving) as you drive?

    YES 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Determine possible failure area (VSP line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (50P)

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (50P) No. 35
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  4. PCM check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Reconnect the PCM connector A (50P).

    -3. Raise the vehicle on a lift.

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Block the front tire of one side, and rotate the front tire slowly that is not blocked.

    -6. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode, with the front tire slowly rotating
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) No. 22
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Does the voltage pulse between 0 V and 5 V as you rotate the tire?

    YES 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit .

    NO 

    Substitute a known-good PCM , and recheck.

  5. Open wire check (VSP line)

    -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) No. 22
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Repair an open in the wire between the audio-navigation unit and the PCM.

    NO 

    The VSP wire is not open. Go to step 6.

  6. Shorted wire check (VSP line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P)

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
      Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) No. 22
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the audio-navigation unit and the PCM.

    NO 

    Replace the audio-navigation unit .
