NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission. 1. Park the vehicle on the level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), and turn
the engine off.
3. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
5. Refill the transmission with ATF into the dipstick hole to bring the fluid level between the upper
mark and the lower mark of the dipstick. Always
use Acura ATF-Z1 automatic transmission fluid
(ATF). Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift
quality.
6. Check that the ATF level is between the upper mark
and the lower mark of the dipstick.
7. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission with the letters ‘‘ATF’’ pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. 8. If the maintenance minder required to replace the
ATF, reset the maintenance minder (see page 3-4),
and this procedure is complete. If the maintenance
minder did not require you to replace the ATF, go
to step 9.
9. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go
to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page
11-204).
11. Select BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.
12. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES MENU with the HDS.
13. Select RESET in the MAINTENANCE MINDER MENU with the HDS.
14. Select RESETTING THE ATF with the HDS.
NOTE: If you changed the engine oil at the same
time with the ATF, select RESETTING THE ENGINE
OIL LIFE AND ATF with the HDS instead.
Replace.

HDS Inputs and Commands
Input:System Menu Data List Data List Indication
22-88Multiplex Integrated Control System
System Description (cont’d)
Certain inputs happen so quickly that the HDS cannot update fast enough. Hold the switch that is being tested while monitoring the Data List.
This should give the HDS time to update the signal on the Data List.
Because the HDS software is updated to support the release for newer vehicles it is not uncommon to see system function tests that are not
supported.
Make sure that the most current software is loaded.

At the initial stage of the self-diagnostic function, the beep sounds intermittently, the beeper sounds continuously
when any of the following switch inputs are switched from OFF to ON:
Cruise control main, dash lights brightness controller volume ( ), ( ) button, mph km/h switch, parking brake switch,
SEL/RESET switch, SET, RESUME, CANCEL switches, and VSA OFF switch . : ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the beeper sounds five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, all the segments blink five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the tachometer needle sweeps from the minimum position to maximum
position, then returns to the minimum position.
NOTE:
After the beeper stops sounding and the gauge needle returns to the minimum position, pushing the SEL/RESET
switch starts the Beeper Drive Circuit Check (one beep) and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check again.
The check cannot be started again until the gauge needle returns to the minimum position.
If the needle fails to sweep, or the beeper does not sound, replace the gauge control module (tach).
