I'm sure the kits will be the same as the one in FWD MDXs and RLXs. It will be an integrated pump with 10 of group. Turn the dial one way to inject the sealant, flip it the opposite direction to engage the pump.
They talked about "car wash mode" in our RLX Hybrid training. It seems to be there because if you forget to engage park the car sets the break automatically. Obviously, if you select neutral to allow the car wash to pull the car through, you don't want the parking brake automatically engaging.

Think I can safely predict multiple lawsuits over the damage that will occur to these cars. Probably a class action suit.
Anyone already heard of a car being damaged in a car wash?

And my VIN is in this specific set of vehicles. Not sure where or how they communicate but it is not like normal people do. I am disappointed that I have to call them back and bring it to their attention.
Thanks for the info!

Does TSB 15-017 only apply if the AcuraLink Status indicator is continously red?? I've read that some users seem to have their indicator stay green, and only occasionally turn red- so, in that situation, should the TCU be replaced??

Acura Canada is so far behind. The USA has a dozen or so TSB's for various issues, Canada has 2 lol.
The update to the ODMD that changes and/or adds many features, Acura Canada has no clue about.

warranty."
Does this mean if the dealer didn't do this repair properly it is not covered under warranty? Or that Acura will not reimburse the dealer for the work? How is the owner supposed to know if this was done right or wrong?

I don't think is the "magic bullet " that everybody is waiting relative to ZF 9 speed.
Maybe I'm wrong and is the "magic bullet"...

Cruisin'
Curiously the TSB indicates it applies to ALL 2015 TLX V6 with A/T, yet towards the bottom of the page there are Program IDs (to be checked during the update) only for the Tech and Advanced packages. Nothing listed in the table for the Base models.
#106
SYMPTOM
The vehicle hesitates, surges, idles high, shifts hard, or auto idle stop does not work.
I have no idea if this is the magical fix either, so we'll just have to wait for reports back from members who have the update applied.
Hope this fixes all the erratic shifting some owners are experiencing.

This update is highly recommended. I brought my vehicle into Maple Acura today to have this done. They applied 3 updates total (engine + transmission). I purchased the car in late of May 2015; who would've guessed three updates within 2 months period. The car shifts so much better now. It does not surge forward in Sport+ mode during downshift or shifts hard anymore in any other modes.

I had the update done this morning too. Although I agree that the surging and downshifts appear better, I did have two pretty harsh shifts from 2-3.
The rest of the time, the shifts from 2-3 have been more muted, but still there. There have been a few that I didn't feel at all.
You always hope that this is the perfect update, to fix everything. Then, when that one shift happens (and somehow, you always know right before it is going to happen), BAM. You are knocked down a few pegs.
I will continue to drive and see if it improves, stays the same, or goes back to being mean and evil.

I'm at 40% oil life and probably I'll have to go for the first oil change in a month or so.
Definitely I'll have the TSB printed and asked them to apply it .
I really hope to improve the transmission behavior to start to enjoy my TLX finally...

I'm getting my V6 Tech done later next week... will let you know if the 2nd-3rd shift improves at all.

Hope to hear from others you have gotten the update. We need a better reporting method. Is there a way to use our smart phones to instrument "surges" ? I have an iOS app that measures vibrations. I will place it in fron of the upper display and see if it can display anything that can be shared to see a difference.
