Rotate the interface dial to select the icon you want to diagnose. Push in the selector to see the details of that diagnostic function.

The System Links function runs automatically and displays a flashing message at the bottom of the screen reminding you to have the engine running for the test. The diagnostic tests the following:

Most of the wires connecting the navigation components shown in the block diagram.
The connection diagnosis results from the navigation components shown in the block diagram.
The microphone is tested by listening to the bong sound produced by the navigation unit from the speakers when the diagnosis is started. This requires that the audio system be operating normally.

When the diagnosis finishes, the icons turn different colors based on their test status. The color definitions are shown below and can also be seen by selecting Help on the System Links screen.

The indication on the screen may not change until you exit and reenter the Self-Diagnosis mode. In some cases, you may have to restart the engine for the indication to change. After you repair the affected component or harness, repeat this diagnosis.

Each icon color is explained in the table.
