INFORMATION DISPLAY
SEL/RESET BUTTON
The maintenance minder is an important feature of the information display. Based on engine and transmission
operating conditions, the Acura CSX’s onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the
automatic transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for
other scheduled maintenance items needing service.

1. The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as apercentage on the information display. To see the
current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), then push and release the SEL/RESET
button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays.
2. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 6 % to 15 %, the
remaining engine oil life (A) and other scheduled
maintenance item(s) needing service are displayed.
The maintenance minder indicator (B) also comes
on when the engine oil life is 15 % or less. To
cancel the display and the indicator, press SEL/
RESET button.
 Complete list of maintenance main items (C) (see page 3-7).
 Complete list of maintenance sub items (D) (see page 3-8). 3. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the
remaining engine oil life is 1 % to 5 %, the message
‘‘SERVICE’’ (A) is displayed along with engine oil
life and the same maintenance item code(s).
4. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 0 %, the engine oil life
indicator (A) blinks. Pressing SEL/RESET button
cancels the display, but the maintenance minder
indicator stays on.
5. If the indicated maintenance is not done, the engine oil life indicator shows a negative mileage, for
example ‘‘ 10,’’ on the display. If the negative
mileage is between 0 and 9, the indicator is
displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition
switch is turned to ON (II). The negative mileage
remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more
than 10 km after 0 % oil life is reached, and the
display cannot be canceled.
This means the indicated maintenance item(s)
should have been done more than 10 km ago.

General Information (cont’d)
NOTE:
 The vehicle must be stopped to reset the display.
 If a required service is done and the display is not reset, or the maintenance display is reset without
doing the service, the system will not show the
proper maintenance timing. This can lead to serious
mechanical problems because there will be no
accurate record of when the required maintenance is
needed.
 The engine oil life and the maintenance item(s) can be only reset independently with the HDS.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.
3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life indicator and the
maintenance item code(s) will blink, then release
the button.
NOTE: If you are resetting the display when the
engine oil life is more than 15 %, make sure the
maintenance item(s) requiring service are done
before resetting the display.
4. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for another 5 seconds. The maintenance item code(s) will
disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ‘‘100’’. 1. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the
data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module/powertrain control
module (ECM/PCM). If it doesn’t communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-6).
4. Select GAUGES in the BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.
5. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES with the HDS.
6. Select SERVICE REMINDER in the ADJUSTMENT with the HDS.
7. Select RESET in the SERVICE REMINDER with the HDS.
8. Select the individual maintenance item you wish to reset.

General Troubleshooting Information
A
A
The term intermittent failure means a system may have
had a failure, but it checks OK now. If the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the dash does not come on,
check for poor connections or loose terminals at all
connectors related to the circuit that you are
troubleshooting. If the MIL was on but then went out,
the original problem may have been intermittent.
Periodically, new ECM/PCM software or new service
procedures may become available. Always check
online for the latest software or service information
relatedtotheDTCsorsymptomsyouare
troubleshooting.
Open and short are common electrical terms. An open
is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an
accidental connection of a wire to ground or to another
wire. In simple electronics, this usually means
something won’t work at all. With complex electronics
(such as ECMs or PCMs) this can sometimes mean
something works, but not the way it’s supposed to.1. Start the engine, and check the MIL (A). NOTE: If the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), and
the engine is not started, the MIL stays on for
15 20 seconds (see page 11-69). 2. If the MIL stays on, connect the HDS to the data link
connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side
of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/ PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn’t, go to
the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page 11-204).
5. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and note it. Also check the freeze data and/or on-board
snapshot data, and download any data found. Then
refer to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting, and
begin the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE: Freeze data indicates the engine conditions when the first malfunction, misfire, or fuel trim
malfunction that activated the MIL was detected.
 The HDS can read the DTC, freeze data, on-board snapshot, current data, and other engine control
module (ECM) or powertrain control module
(PCM) data.
 For specific operations, refer to the user’s manual that came with the HDS.
6. If no DTCs are found, go to MIL troubleshooting (see page 11-203).
If the MIL did not stay on but there is a driveability
problem, do the symptom troubleshooting.
Some of the troubleshooting requires you to reset the
ECM/PCM and try to duplicate the DTC. If the problem is
intermittent and you can’t duplicate the code, do not
continue through the procedure. To do so will only
result in confusion and possibly, a needlessly replaced
ECM/PCM. (cont’d)
