XM (HIP)

XM (HIP)
These screens allow troubleshooting on XM or HIP (AcuraLink) problems. Select the item you want to troubleshoot, and follow the diagnostic instructions.




XM (HIP) System Link
This diagnostic tests the cables connecting the XM (HIP) components. If any of the links are red, do the troubleshooting for the AcuraLink.




XM (HIP) ECU
Select the item you want to troubleshoot, and follow the diagnostic instructions. If items 2 (DTC logdata), 3 (Diagnostic Info), or 4 (Recalls/Campaigns) cannot be selected, then there are no messages for these items.




Telematics Self-Diagnosis
This screen shows the software version information for the AcuraLink control unit (XM receiver). Toggle the joystick left to exit the screen.




DTC Log Data
This screen displays DTCs stored in the AcuraLink control unit. Use the HDS to clear the codes. Additional details about listed DTCs can be viewed by selecting each listed item.




Diagnostic Info
This screen lists messages that were displayed to the client. The client can clear the messages that are shown with an "envelope" symbol.




Data Reset
This menu choice resets the AcuraLink control unit (XM receiver), and should not be selected. Only select "DATA RESET" if instructed to do so by the factory. If chosen accidentally, a confirmation screen appears to prevent accidental erasure. Select "No" to exit the screen.

NOTE: Selecting "DATA RESET" will clear the AcuraLink registration, and the AcuraLink service will reset to the factory default. If the vehicle was already registered for the AcuraLink service, it will have to be reactivated by calling Acura Client Services before all features will be available. The reactivation will cause the Feature Guide to start over at the first message, which will result in the client getting repeated messages.




Traffic Channel
If the menu choice is available, never adjust the settings. Changing the settings will cause traffic flow and traffic icon information to stop displaying on the map screen. The only appropriate setting is shown. If the setting is changed accidentally, choose a SID value of 255, and an App ID of 8.
