Funny thing happened today when I left work. I came out and started my car and noticed that the time was off on the clock. I then turned on my radio and and it said "CODE". I know this would happen when the battery is disconnected, but it wasn't. The car had been sitting in the parking lot since 530am. It wasn't too hot today as it only was in the low 70's. I tried searching the forum but nothing similiar is coming up. Can someone point me in the right direction to search? The problem is when I bought the car it didn't have the codes with it. I can pull the serial # off the side of the glovebox and hopefully Acura can pull the code for me. I am just wondering why this happened. Any ideas??

Myacura.com. will save you a call and all you need is the VIN. Or you can call Acura client services.

It sounds like your battery is dying, esp. if you have the OEM battery.

Otherwise, if the battery is aftermarket and tests as good, I'd check the battery post connectors, focusing on the positive side-- they have a reputation for corroding and/or loosening up, resulting in intermittent disconnections. Buy and use a shim if necessary when tightening the positive post clamp.
