Diagnostic Info
If an instrument panel indicator stays
on when it should go off, or a
message appears on the multi-
information display, AcuraLink can
identify the problem, send the
information to Acura for analysis,
and then provide you with the most
accurate repair information available-
all before going to a dealer. This
helps you handle the problem as it
occurs, preventing or limiting costly
repairs.
The AcuraLink system cannot
determine some mechanical
problems (such as squeaks or
rattles) that are not triggered by the
diagnostic indicator monitors.
A diagnostic message is generated if
any of the instrument panel
indicators stay on when they should
go off. For more information on the
instrument panel indicators, see page
.

When an instrument panel indicator
comes on, AcuraLink immediately
notifies you with the message,
''Check more information.'' If you do
not want the information right away,
select the Check Later option. If you
want the information now, select the
Check Now option. (If the navigation
screen is not active, you must select
OK from the navigation disclaimer
screen before you can check the
information.)
AcuraLink
Depending on the severity of the
problem, the message will let you
know if you should see your dealer
immediately or if you can wait a
while.
You will see information from the
onboard troubleshooting database.
You can then use message options to
call your dealer for an appointment,
find the nearest dealer, or find out
more information about the issue.
