General Troubleshooting Information: Self-diagnosis
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories:
- Initial diagnosis: Done right after the ignition switch is turned to ON (II) and until the active damper system indicator goes off.
- Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).
- When the system detects a problem, it will go into fail safe mode which turns off the active damper function. When in this mode, handling characteristics are limited, and the vehicle speed should be reduced to 60 mph (96 km/h) or less, and driven no more than 200 miles (321 km).
