Retrieving DTCs Using Scan Tool

  1. If fault code exists, "D4" light on A/T gear position on instrument panel will blink when ignition is turned on. To retrieve DTC using scan tool, turn ignition off.
  2. Connect scan tool to 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) located behind ashtray. Turn ignition on. Scan tool will indicate DTCs. Follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Once DTC is obtained, turn ignition off. Determine probable cause and symptom. See DTC/FLASH CODE IDENTIFICATION  table. If any other fault codes except those listed are displayed, see ACURA SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. For trouble shooting of fault codes, see DTC FLOW CHARTS  . If "D4" light does not flash or stays on, see appropriate "D4" light flow chart.
NOTE: Flash Codes can be retrieved on all years/models but are the only codes available on 1995 models.
