Ok..well just bought 08tl-s about going on 2 weeks ago..kinda wasn't planing on it because
I was lookin at another car and wasn't as nice lol..
Well I found out about week later that in navi, it stored messages.
Well I thought it was kinda like a c.e.l...

But from what I searched up.
That c.e.l. isn't on.and I guess it was on at one point..
And when the c.e.l. is thrown,these codes get stored in the navi.(I'm guessing)

I kinda found a way to clear them but it says I have to reactivate acura link..
And to do this I have to go online and/or a 1800 #?
Anyone know if this is difficult or do they just need basic info off you or car?
Or should I just drive to acura dealershiip and have it cleared?
Anyone know a average cost to rest this?100?200?etc.

 

try this and if there is a problem the message will come back, otherwise this worked for me and will you as well.

you'll need to evoke the diagnostic screen first, get in your car, turn the nav on, and hold down the "GUIDE", "MENU", and "CANCEL" buttons for about 5 seconds. the factory calibration screen will come up.

then click on XM module, and you'll see the option to erase those messages. Believe it or not the diagnostic messages are stored in XM module...dumb.

 

p.s. Bring the heat.

 

Yes,this is what I. Ended up finding.but once I do this it ask some kind of question
Can't remeber exact thing but if I press "yes" it says I have to reactivate acuralink..
Lol I'm sitting there looking at it wonering what I should do...kinda gives me a feeling like its a "do not press" button.

 

Lol

 

shouldn't ask you any question. you should just be able to select and delete the stored messages and have a clean slate.

 

Hmmmm...then I'm doing someting wrong or went a step too far..

Ill try to do it again late tonite while I'm sitting at work waiting for the last minute to walk in.

By the way..does the key hav to be in the ignition?turned to 1 or 2?or car on?
Or will it comeup while its off?

 

Ok..finally had time lastnight to do it..I finaly cleared it!yaya!!
I was going into the wrng screen after I went to xm.
And I didn't know I had to click and hold the code for like a second
So the menu to delete it came up..I pressed it but it opened another sreen
With info about the code..that's why I went to the other section.
Thanks everyone
