First of all, I press the "Lock" button on the remote, lights would flash, and doors locked, and if I press it again, there is a BEEP sound. What is the BEEP sound for?? Shouldn't it BEEP on the first press of the button(Lexus/BMW beeps as soon as you lock the car with remote).
Also, I have seen many threads regarding the failure of Dual-Stage induction on CLs, what are the symptoms of such failure??
Thnx

That's all I could find for now. Head over to acura-cl.com and do a search. Maybe you'll have more luck if you use different key words. I just searched for IMRC....

As for your other question... I have no clue.

See if yours does this. I have an aftermarket alarm, so I can't remember exactly how it works.
When you click the lock button on the remote once, stand next to the driver's window. Look at the red light next to the door lock knob thingee by the window. You'll see that if you click it once, it does not illuminate. If you wait a few seconds, it will go on, and blink I think.
If you click the button twice on the remote the light goes on immediately, indicating that the theft deterrant system is armed.

The security light on my 2000 comes on after the first click. The only reason to press the LOCK button twice is to get an audible confirmation.

Thnx for the info and especially the links!!! Have you guys checked the actuator?? Wonder if we might also have the defect actuator as our TL-S shares the same engine with CL-S.....
BTW, try the alarm trick, the alarm armed with the first press, and beeps on second. Guess the 2nd press is a confirmation beep..
Thnx again

of course, I have a cl-s rather than the tl-s, but I can't imagine they'd differ in this regard.
