GROUNDWORK — Restore the clock on the Fit color-audio system Task: fit-color-audio-clock-restore | Content version 2.0.0 Source page: https://carcare.fewrays.com/tasks/fit-color-audio-clock-restore/ MODEL / APPLICABILITY [{"modelId":"fit-2015-us","market":"US","year":2015,"engine":"1.5L gasoline","configurations":["all","standard-key","smart-key","halogen","alloy"]}] EXCLUSIONS Other model years or markets, Jazz / Fit Hybrid and aftermarket equipment with a different procedure. Display Audio touchscreens, navigation-synchronized clocks, aftermarket head units and audio systems without the matched MENU/CLOCK and LIST/SELECT controls. Battery disconnection, power-loss diagnosis and factory-reset menus. PREPARE [ ] Park away from traffic, set the parking brake and keep the ignition off unless a final parked functional observation explicitly requires the normal controls. [ ] The factory color-audio system has MENU/CLOCK and LIST/SELECT controls, a trusted current-time reference is available, and the vehicle is parked safely. [ ] The original MENU/CLOCK and LIST/SELECT controls [ ] A trusted current-time reference [ ] None OBSERVE & RECORD Observation date: __________ Vehicle / equipment confirmed: __________ Record the matched audio controls, reference time and displayed time after saving. Note a suspected power-loss event only if actually known. Matched audio equipment: __________ | Choices: Factory color audio with MENU/CLOCK and LIST/SELECT; Different controls — checklist not applicable Displayed time before adjustment: __________ Reference time and date: __________ Time displayed after selecting Set: __________ Time at next normal use; or repeat observation pending: __________ Before care: __________ STEPS 1. [ ] Match the physical color-audio system before starting. This procedure uses MENU/CLOCK and the rotating, push-to-select LIST/SELECT knob; a touchscreen or navigation-synchronized clock follows another procedure. Record the time currently shown and the reference time. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=90 | PDF 90, 91; printed 88–89 2. [ ] With the vehicle parked, use ignition ON. Hold MENU/CLOCK until Adjust Clock is selected. If the menu does not match, stop rather than entering a reset or unfamiliar settings menu. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=90 | PDF 90, 91; printed 88–89 3. [ ] Rotate the LIST/SELECT knob to choose the hour and press the knob to accept it. Rotate again to choose the minute and press to accept it. Check the hour and minute against the time reference before saving. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=90 | PDF 90, 91; printed 88–89 4. [ ] Rotate the knob to select Set, then press it to commit the setting. Compare the normal clock display with the reference; the information-display clock is adjusted with the audio clock. Record the saved time and the observed agreement. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=90 | PDF 90, 91; printed 88–89 5. [ ] End the parked check and turn the ignition off. During the next normal use, note whether the time was retained. If it resets again, keep that recurrence for service; do not disconnect the battery or attempt an electrical repair to repeat this checklist. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=90 | PDF 90, 91; printed 88–89 DECISION CHECKS The factory color-audio system has MENU/CLOCK and LIST/SELECT controls, a trusted current-time reference is available, and the vehicle is parked safely. Yes — equipment, materials and safe conditions confirmed → Follow the matched-equipment plan and record only what you actually do and observe. Not yet / uncertain → Preparation saved. Confirm the equipment, material and safe conditions before proceeding. The controls or menu differ, the unit loses power, or the clock repeatedly resets after being saved. → Stop if the menu differs or the unit loses power. Report repeated resets with the saved time and recurrence details; this task does not include battery, fuse, wiring or factory-reset work. Did you save the correct hours and minutes with Set and verify the displayed time against your reference? Correct time saved and checked on the matched color-audio system → The clock has been set and the observed result recorded. This procedure does not explain or repair repeated loss of time or audio power. The controls or menu differ, the unit loses power, or the clock repeatedly resets after being saved. → Stop if the menu differs or the unit loses power. Report repeated resets with the saved time and recurrence details; this task does not include battery, fuse, wiring or factory-reset work. Work or the repeat observation is still incomplete → Preparation or incomplete work recorded. A satisfactory repeat observation is still pending. RECHECK At the next normal use, compare the displayed time with the same type of reference and record retained, reset again or not yet observed. After care: __________ Retest: not checked / improved / unchanged / worse If an earlier condition changes, reassess the later checks and result. RESULT CHECK Correct time saved and checked on the matched color-audio system At the next normal use, compare the displayed time with the same type of reference and record retained, reset again or not yet observed. Preserve any unresolved defect and its next action; a completed web record does not certify a repair. STOP CONDITIONS The controls or menu differ, the unit loses power, or the clock repeatedly resets after being saved. Stop if the menu differs or the unit loses power. Report repeated resets with the saved time and recurrence details; this task does not include battery, fuse, wiring or factory-reset work. Stop if the actual part, attachment or surface differs from the matched manual. SERVICE HANDOFF Stop if the menu differs or the unit loses power. Report repeated resets with the saved time and recurrence details; this task does not include battery, fuse, wiring or factory-reset work.
