Self-diagnostic Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: This procedure should be used only if HDS is unavailable.

To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following:

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Press and hold the HFL Back button for more than 5 seconds.
  3. When the HandsFreeLink system enters the self-diagnostic function, the following will occur.
    • If the system has not completed testing for DTCs, the HandsFreeLink system says The hands free system test is in progress.
    • If there is no DTC, the HandsFreeLink system says The hands free system is OK.
    • If there is any DTC, the HandsFreeLink system says The hands free system needs to be serviced.
NOTE:
  • The self-diagnostic function can only be initiated while the HFL is in its idle state.
  • The self-diagnostic function is considered to start once the 5 seconds press and hold is detected, and ends when the units returns to idle state.
