ok hmmm im new to here so i help this proves someone useful and makes it easier to find the answer i looked and i found it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwXinmGtucw

also... i have a light that blinks but isnt on constant i red the manual and it said something about its gonna blink for 6k??? then stay on soild if i dont do a tune-up. either way i have tested it out yet. to stop the light from blinkin about two seconds

 

havent* i knew i should of post preview

 

without watching the vid-

we use left hand thru top of steering wheel -push and hold BOTH trip buttons in
with right hand turn key to ON- not start just on
mait light will flash approx 10 times and go out
remove hands and keys
Done

approx 6000-6500 miles later it starts blinking at startup- then gets more insistant and finally comes on solid at 7500
its NOTHING but a mileage minder ,,since last reset

 

we dont have a `tune up light`
the cel and other lights come on at startup to self test systems, then go off

When you drive off, the ABS runs two test that make noise as well

 

ahh abs test sounds right on the money.! i been wondering what it was... my buddy who got my to get the tl gots a forest green 01 and he was point and my side mirror sayin its the mirror in reverse

 

lol i ment uh he pointed at my side mirror and was like thats it...

 

the 01 doesnt have `auto tilt down in reverse mirrors` like gen3
(possibly on later gens 2 than my 01- dont know)

the ABS self test are at 5 and 15 mph iirc, they occur pretty fast as you drive off- thunk-thunk and done
Anyone know if it self test in reverse, or only forward motion?

the mini drum brakes that act as our park brakes do self adjust, but need clean and lube of the system,, which is rarely done--
same as old cars drum brakes just miniature and inside the rear rotor hub

 

it only does it when the cars cold. and its in d5

 

started to make sounds a couple weeks ago now its just got worse..my steering is makeing noises sqeeking when i turn left or right and when the car goes up and down. from the sound of it.. sounds like the upper control arm. on my drivers side only. i poped the hood today my p.s was low so i put some in it accident filled it all the way a little about the maximum line was like ol noo. lol put the cap back on and rode off to work. i need a lay out of the suspension but cant find a blue print of the car. and is confused about what it is hahaha. its McPherson? or double wishbone?

 

McPherson right... is my guess

 

i think double wishbone all around

 

look on acura.com or wiki for car specs

 

i found that whatever part on that oem acura site you can see an illustration and it shows the whole layout for whatever part you select
