How to read trouble codes on Acura vehicles

To read the fault code without a diagnostic tool, you must

• Locate the diagnostic connector under the steering wheel (left or right, depending on whether the car is a left-hand or right-hand drive).
  
• Connect wires 4 or 9 with a piece of wire or a paper clip. If not, fuse 46 (15A) in the block under the bonnet will blow.
  
• When the ignition is switched on (it is not necessary to start), the “CHECK ENGINE” light will start flashing, long flashes – the first digit of the fault number, short flashes – the second digit.

Errors can be read not only for engines but also for other systems. The corresponding bulb on the fuse panel (gearbox, power steering, etc.) flashes.

Llennye blink – dozens, short – units. For example:

Code 50 – 5 long flashes.
Code 15 – 1 long and 5 short flashes.

If there is more than one fault, the codes will flash in sequence (in the order they appear in the system), followed by a long pause.

If there are no faults, the lights will simply go out and not flash.
