Messages on Nav display - bogus?
Okay, I've searched and I've read the whole "Quirks" thread and I don't think this is addressed.
I have two "permanent" messages in my messages folder - one says something like "Your keyless access system may not be working properly. Use the key inside the fob to lock and unlock the doors. See you Acura dealer." the other says something to the efect that "Your ABS and VSA systems may not be working properly - turn the key off, then back on, and if the ABS and VSA lights remain on, see your Acura dealer. This condition may be the result of low voltage."
Now ... the keyless entry system is working fine, regardless what it says. I can lock, unlock, open the trunk, open the locked doors by touching the handle, etc.
As for the ABS/VSA warning, the lights on the dash do NOT stay on, so I think this is a bogus message.
Trouble is, neither one lets me delete. I know I can go into the diagnostic menu and clear them, but since these aren't the usual "keyfob is not present" type messages, I wanted to know if others had seen these particular ones.
Any words of wisdom before I delete these suckers?

I had those same messages on my RL when I got it. I guessed maybe the battery having been run to zero in the showroom/lot (not everyone knows to turn the knob all the way off I guess) and triggered those messages on its way out. I just had them cleared by service and they haven't reappeared.
