What Do My Acura Service Codes Mean?
To ensure that your Acura vehicle remains operating at peak performance through every journey, scheduling regular maintenance is a must. Acura has developed a specific maintenance schedule for your vehicle based on mileage. To prevent a problem before it occurs, you should check your Acura Maintenance Minder as well as the Acura Minder Codes in your vehicle.
Our San Antonio Acura dealership is here to provide you with the information you need to determine what these Acura maintenance codes mean.
Check Your Acura Minder Codes For Maintenance
If you find your Acura Minder Codes have determined it's time to schedule service for an oil change, it will appear as a percentage of the remaining life of your vehicle's engine oil just before it needs to be changed.
When you've reached fifteen percent, it will indicate that service is due soon. Once you've passed zero percent, you are overdue for service. Keeping track of these percentages will help you to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently.
Here are some Acura Maintenance Minder codes and what they mean:
| A | Replace Engine Oil |
| B | Replace Engine Oil and Filter. Inspect various systems and components |
| 1 | Rotate Tires and check tire pressure and condition |
| 2 | Replace air cleaner element, check drive belt and replace dust and pollen filter |
| 3 | Replace transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped) |
| 4 | Replace spark plugs, replace timing belt (if equipped), inspect water pump, and inspect value clearance |
| 5 | Replace Engine Coolant |
| 6 | Replace rear differential fluid (if equipped) |
