2007 message board

I bought a used 2007 Acura MDX AWD and the message board keeps popping up different issues. Check battery, check oil level, DRL system. All at random times while I'm driving it. I've checked all these things and they are all good. Any ideas ?

Check your fuseboxes for water. Also check that the alternator is working properly and not giving too much voltage and screwing with electronics.

See if you can figure out how old the battery is. Dead, dying cells within a battery or even a battery that has been discharged multiple times have been know to create all sorts of electrical gremlins and wonky signals within the Acura lineup.

We have checked every message that pops up. And everything is good. Even the battery. We will checked if there is water in the fuse box next.

Not sure you got my intended meaning. How old is the battery?? Lots of folks have reported their batteries as being "good" after being checked either themselves or by dealerships only to ultimately find out the battery was in fact the culprit after it was replaced. This has been especially true with the RL and some other models across the model lineup with all the electronics in them. Not saying it is the battery, but don't casually discount it either.
We had an 07 MDX and didn't have the issue you are but did have one of the battery cables replaced because the clamp on one of them "expanded" (per the dealer) and could no longer be tightened enough to stay secure. Just some thoughts to share.
Let us know what progress you make or lack thereof.

Thank you for the information. We checked the battery and it is brand new. One that is strong enough for the Acura MDX as well. I love the car though, it drives really well and I love all the features. I just don't want to have to put a whole lot of money into it haha
