I just purchased an 07 TL type s from an Acura dealership by me and 2 days after I left with the car the check engine light came on. I brought the car to an auto zone to have them put the computer on it and I got 4 different codes. 2 codes were for an O2 sensor but the other 2 scared me,61-1 and 83-1. 83-1 is for the Electronic Control Module and 61-1 is for low battery voltage or something.. I called Acura to set up an appointment so they could check it out for real, but the next day the check engine light went off and I decided to bring it in anyway. They told me their computers came up saying the car needed a valve adjustment and that's it.. what should I do ? The car is only covered for 30 days/1000 miles and I want them to fix all problems before the warranty is up, but if their computer isn't showing ECM or low battery voltage then am I okay? Also I had them change the timing belt and water pump before I bought the car so is it possible that "the computer just had to reset itself" and I shouldn't be worried about the 83-1 and 61-1 codes? Not to mention the bad O2 sensor ... PLEASE HELP!

 

Bad battery, just get a new one and you should be good.

After getting a new battery, the codes should be deleted and if they come back, THEN you can see if you truly have an issue. Low batteries send odd CEL all the time.

 

Oh and welcome!

 

Hmmm I'll have to try that out then, thank you!
