thanks in advance

I won't swear that it's the same location, but for my 2002 it is behind the coin holder/power outlet. Reach down between the seat heater switches into that little cubby thingy and put your fingers over the top of the plastic "door" and pull. Should snap off and reveal the OBD II port. This is what it is in my 02.

Underneath the "Not an Ashtray" tray, between the heated seat buttons. The side/wall facing the front of the car is a plastic lid. Just pop it toward you and it will come right off and you'll see the OBD2 connector behind it.

Damn, beat by mere seconds by 03CoupeV6.






On the later model '02 and '03, the OBD2 connector has been relocated to underneath the steering column.

Odd they'd relocate it. With a production date of 10/01 and production sequence 43294 is my car a early, mid, or late 2002?

Is that only on the TL? The jack is under the coin tray on my 02 CL.

The TL's new model year production cycle started in August, so I would say your is an early 2002.

on the CL for sure. But my best guess is it's probably the same on both since they share virtually everything. (except for the 6-speed and LSD... damn greedy CL-S project manager )

Holy shitballs, I just noticed Pete's2000TL is from Troy. That's a stone's throw away from town.

Howdy, neighbor. :hi:

So it would be way off to assume my TL is the 43294th 2002 TL produced.

Well, my best guess is that the number started with the production of UA4 in 1999. Judging by the TL's annual sales, your car is probably the 43294th 2nd generation TL since 1999.

Isn't 99-03 UA5?

It seems like they would have sold more than 43,293 TLs in 99, 00, and 01.

'99-'01 is UA4
'02-'03 is UA5

As for the sales figures, you were right. I ran some searches (man, sales figures are a bitch to find) and I found the annual figures of 2000 and 1999.

In 1999, Acura sold 40,736 TLs, and in 2000, they sold 51,539 TLs, an increase of 26%.

I couldn't find figures for 2001 and up.

I think I remember seeing sales figures in the 60,000 range for 02-03 models.
