2012 Honda Insight BaseFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Touch Panel Check 1

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The panel touch sensing system consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane covering the display. Contrary to other systems using infrared beams, the screen has to be physically touched to make it work. The display has the capability of 479 touch locations (left to right), and 233 touch locations (top to bottom). The upper left hand corner is position (0,0) and the lower right hand corner is (479,233) as displayed. Touching anywhere on the screen displays the coordinate of the location, and cause the place you touch to display a + icon. If any area of the screen either doesn't respond, or responds at some other location when touched, then replace the audio-navigation unit.

NOTE: Unlike earlier screens that used infrared sensors, direct sunlight does not affect this test.
