Possible problem with dual climate control (TL 2008)

Hi, I wonder if someone could help/assist with an issue I am having with my Acura TL 2008.
I was driving the other day when the dual climate control system broke.
As you can see on the pictures below, regardless if 'Dual' is on or off, both sides of the car are displaying the temperature.
What could be the problem? Is this an issue with a fuse or it may be something else? I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

I think that's normal. When I get in my car, I'll check.

Are you saying the passenger side temp is not able to be changed?

or that while driving whether dual is selected or not, the temp shows up on both sides in the display?

Both, driver and passenger side temperatures can be changed to any available number.


The problem is that whether dual is selected or not, the temperature shows on both sides in the display.
That was never an issue in the past and it is now suddenly.


If it is working correctly on your Acura, when you have 'Dual' off, the passenger side temperature will turn off which is not the case with my car.

Sorry for the large font, I did some copying/pasting and that's how it came up.

Yeah mine definitely does not do that, although it's a non-navi 2004. Dual shows both temps, when switched off it shows only leftmost temp.

Sorry, for not following up. Whether dual is selected or not, the temp display shows on both sides in my car. Has been that way since new.

Maybe yours is bugged too? haha. I mean jump from 04 to 05 model both with the AT it would be surprising they changed that function. I have a non-navi though.

Same on my '05 w/Navi:
With dual mode on, the temp numbers for driver and passenger can be different.

With dual mode off, both numbers are displayed, but as the same temp.

Yeah I checked and I was wrong, it shows the temps whether or not dual mode is on, but it does not show the little arrows next to it when dual is off. It only shows the temps

Same here on my 08 TL-S, but if you turn off dual mode, driver's side temp is displayed on both sides. Just as a couple of different data points, this works the same way in our kids Accord, my wife's Lexus, our former MDX and my 04 TL.
