Understanding Acura Service Codes

If you own an Acura, you may have seen a service code on your dashboard. This code is a reminder that it’s time to take your car in for service or maintenance. But what do these codes mean? Speedcraft Acura can help you understand the various service codes and how they relate to your vehicle’s maintenance needs.

The Different Codes and What They Mean

Acura vehicles will display several different types of service codes, each with its own meaning. The most common type of warning light is the Maintenance Minder Light. This light indicates that routine maintenance is required for your vehicle, such as an oil change or tire rotation. It will also display a specific code based on which type of maintenance needs to be done.

Another type of warning light is the Check Engine Light (CEL). This light indicates that there’s something wrong with one of the engine components, such as a faulty spark plug or oxygen sensor. The CEL will usually display a specific trouble code that can be used by a mechanic to identify and diagnose the issue quickly and accurately.

Finally, there are other warning lights such as ABS (anti-lock braking system), SRS (airbag system) and TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system). These lights indicate an issue with one of these systems, such as low brake fluid levels or low tire pressure. Again, each of these lights will display a specific code that can be used by a technician to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
