Subject:
BLANK MAP SCREEN ON NAVIGATION SYSTEM







In some cases, when a vehicle arrives at a Canadian port, and/or is in new inventory at the dealer, a blank map screen may occur, as shown, just after turning the ignition switch ON and then touching the "I agree" switch. The only items that can be seen are the touch switches, compass, and the vehicle icon.

This condition is not a system failure. This is due to the system position memory originally identifying a set location near the manufacturing plant in Japan when the vehicle is brand new. To re-initialize the navigation system memory location, follow the instructions.

APPLICABLE VEHICLES: All 2003 model year Lexus vehicles with Navigation System.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:







Follow the flow chart to fix the blank map screen condition.
