B Service Issue

Hi guys,
last Saturday, I got an A5 service done on my car, today I turned the car on, and the B Service popped up :/. There are no numbers after B, just B. Is this normal? Espescially considering I had an Acura Dealer do A5 last week?

The car has 123k, and is an auto.

I'm not sure if I ever did the timing belt...

why did you have the A5 service done? did the MID tell you this? what do you mean you're not sure if you ever did the TB? you can just get an A or B by itself.

have you been following the MID for maintenance? there is a lot of info missing here which would help in solving your mystery.

my guess is that you have not been following the MID for your maintenance schedule.

I had the A5 service due soon light come up, so I took it to the dealer for new oil and coolant. That was a week ago. Now the B service due soon came up, I dont know why because oil life is still at 100% I do follow the MID for maintenance.

I might have done the Tb, but might not have since I reached 100k around 3 years ago, and can't find the receipt.

if the B service popped up and the oil life is still at 100%, then i have no idea why it has popped up. MID doesn't flash until 15%. call the dealer that did your oil change....

if you followed the MID then the 4 would have flashed close to 105K. one would think you'd remember you did this service since it's $$$$. i know i would definitely know.

An "A" service means oil change; a "B" service means an oil and oil filter change. Check your receipt-- if there is a charge for the oil filter, it was probably a "B" service you paid for, and not just an "A," and you can reset the MID. If not... change out the oil filter now...

The difference is explained in the owner's manual's maintenance section. The manuals can be accessed at the Acura owner website without having to log on or register.

FYI-- I've always changed the oil filter along with the oil, as do most AZ members; the mechanics I used also changed the filter with every oil change.

I believe it is something wrong with the computer on your car. I was told that TL has 4 micro computer in it. Or maybe it is just a bug in the software running on these computers.
