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.

4. Turn off VSA by using the VSA OFF switch.
5. Start the engine, run the vehicle in the 4th (M/T), or D position (A/T).
6. Check the VEHICLE SPEED in the EPS DATA LIST with the HDS.
The system is OK at this time.
Go to step 7. 7. Check for DTCs in the fuel and emissions system
(M/T) or A/T system (A/T) with the HDS.
Troubleshoot the indicated DTC(s).
Go to step 8.
8. Start the engine, and check the tachometer.
Go to step 9.
Troubleshoot the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-241).
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front
toe, and rear toe. However, each of these adjustments
are related to each other. For example, when you adjust
camber, the toe will change. Therefore, you must adjust
the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber
or toe.
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel
alignment, do these checks: 1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Make sure the fuel tank is full, and that the spare tire, the jack, and the tools are in place on the
vehicle.
4. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
5. Check the runout of the wheels and tires (see page 18-9). 6. Check the suspension ball joints (Hold a tire with
your hands, and move it up and down and right and
left to check for movement).
7. Before doing alignment inspections, be sure to remove all extra weight from the vehicle, and no
one should be inside the vehicle (driver or
passengers).
8. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
9. Check that the steering column is set at the center tilt and telescopic position.
Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Check the caster angle.
 If the measurement is within specifications,measure the camber angle.
 If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension
components.

Once the vehicle speed exceeds 45 km/h (28 mph), the TPMS control unit monitors all four tire pressure sensors and
the system function. If it detects low pressure in a tire, it alerts the driver by turning on the low tire pressure indicator.
If it detects a problem in the system, it turns on the TPMS indicator.
Mounted inside of the dash, the TPMS control unit receives wireless pressure sensor ID signals
every time the vehicle
speeds exceeds 45 km/h (28 mph). It also receives wireless signals from the transmitters for tire pressure and the
sensor condition, and it continuously monitors and controls the system. The TPMS control unit cannot directly
determine the position (location) of a tire pressure sensor(s) on the vehicle since it is a wireless system. TPMS sensor
locations will change during scheduled vehicle maintenance (tire rotation).
NOTE: To determine the actual location of each TPMS wheel sensor on the vehicle, do the tire pressure sensor
location procedure (see page 18-53). Once the tire pressure sensor locations are identified, write the sensor ID on the
side wall of the tire with a tire crayon to eliminate confusion.
Two indicators are in the gauge control module (tach): The low tire pressure indicator comes on when any tire
pressure is low, and the TPMS indicator that comes on only if there’s a problem with the system.
The low tire pressure indicator alerts the driver that a tire(s) pressure is low, but does not specify the tire(s) location.
