TPMS system error blinking with 15 mile run with spare tire

$

I had flat tire on 2008 RL so I replaced it with spare tire in trunk. I could see tire pressure in all other 3 tires
However after about 15 miles of city driving, I suddenly got blinking "TPMS system error".
Is this error code related to spare tire or not related?
How to reset this after I put back my regular tire?

Tennessee realtor posts sex selfie on listing

Late Tuesday, a Realtor Miguel Calvo with Benchmark Realty uploaded more than expected to a new home listing he published online. The listing for the $399K Priest Lake Park home on Saxon Mist Drive included 31 photos of the home, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the pool, and of the realtor engaged in a sex act. When reached via phone late Wednesday, Calvo confirmed the photo was him, and that he uploaded it, but would not say if it was on purpose or accident, and threatened a lawsuit if we published the story.

The photo (above) depicts Miguel Calvo standing beside a bed, with what appears to be a much younger woman on her knees on the bed, with her genitals exposed from the rear to a mirror which the camera is pointed at. She appears to be performing fellatio on Calvo, with her pink flip flops on the floor near the bed. The image had propagated to hundreds of other realtor and property listing sites before it was removed. Calvo would not confirm who the female in the photo was, but did not deny certain assertions.





In all honesty though I'd be more inclined to let hire that guy :dunno:

4G TL TPMS Receiver Unit Location Confirmation?

Hello to anyone that responds and thanks in advance for your input. I'm new to the forum and am looking for some confirmation of location for TPMS Receiver Unit before I rip apart my lower dash or engine bay while I replace the module.

I think from the reading I've done, the unit is located underneath the dash, somewhere around the steering shaft? Based on the picture below, I think this is supported. If I'm correct, is it on the left or right side of the steering shaft?


Thanks so much,
Kyle

06 TL coolant reservoir tank cap

$

A few days ago after I parked my car in the driveway, I smelled a slight burning smell from the hood of my 06 TL. When I popped the hood I saw spilled coolant all over the engine. I had a cracked coolant tank cap. While examining the tank and hoses for other potential leaks the inner hose came loose and fell inside the tank. I took the reservoir tank out, emptied out the coolant, retrieved the hose and installed the tank back along with a new cap. However, it seems to still be spilling a bit because the black round rubber sealant that goes around the inner hose connecting underneath the coolant cap is missing so there is some coolant spilling out. I have 3 questions:
1. Should I not have taken out the tank and emptied out the coolant this way? Is there any air that potentially got into the radiator?? (dumb question?)
2. What do I do now? Flush the coolant or just replace the whole reservoir tank?
3. Is it safe to drive it like this? I haven't driven it in 2 days but the last time I checked it 2 days ago the reservoir coolant was at max level.



Thanks!

Clock Recall which messed up infotainment system

$

So I brought my car in on 8/28/19 to fix an issue pertaining to the drivers seat not moving back the proper Driver 1 setting. Was told the actuator was defective. When I picked up my car the next day I was told there was a new recall that they became aware of that day having to do with the clock not working properly. They installed a software update intended to fix the clock issue, mind you I did not have, & now because of that update nearly all my favorite's are gone from navi. When I tried to add them back I got a message saying they already exist when they don't. Sound familiar? Also I can not move the position of the favorite's for home screen, the radio or navi, a problem the last update in February had fixed.

So I guess the moral to this story is, if you get a recall having to do with the clock, not have it fixed. If you bring your car to the dealer for any reason, even an oil change, be sure to tell them not to act on the clock recall. AGAIN I FEEL LIKE ACURA'S GUINEA PIG OR LAB RAT. Oh by the way the dealer has no idea when the next Acura update, all has been expecting since March, will come out or what it would aimed a fixing.

Pinch in CV boot by boot clamp

Well if it wasn’t one thing, it’s another. I recently had an OEM drive-side axle installed and one day later there is a gosh damn pinch by the boot clamp. It oozes grease out while driving and I’m in need of some advise. What would be the best course of action... try and get the Acura wholesaler to send me a new damn axle or maybe plug the two little holes with some kind of sealer? I emailed the company and they said “we recommend install with an Honda/Acura dealer” but I did it at an independent shop! Am I shit out of luck? It erks me to think that the mechanic had something to do with it but why would he need to use anything sharp? I had the axle lying around and didn’t notice an grease in the box so maybe he did? Oh my stomach :facepalm:

While driving my 2013ILX Hybrid, warning messages appeared on the display. I have changed the 12v battery and that did NOT fix the issue. Anyone have any knowledge for this?
- Note: The messages included "check charging system", "check IMAsystem", and "check brake system".
- I had the codes read and this is what they say "Motor power invertor- module short circuit: P1437", "IMASystem problem: P1440", and "Brake System Booster: 83"

I have a set of 235/55/20 snow tires that I want to use on my 2020 RDX A-Spec that has stock 255/45/20 all seasons. The snows are a little higher and the speedo will be off by a few km/hr but will they work otherwise? Have these snows from a stolen Lexus and hoping to use them.

Wassup guys, new to this as a member but not new to the website. I purchased an 05 TL around the beginning of August and have been on this website's 3G forums probably every day since. I'm looking forward to learning so much and trying to give my input as well. I have always loved the 04-08 TL body ever since I was young so I want this car to last me as long as it possibly can

Infotainment “Recall” Software Update - NOT 1.1.4 OTA

I am sitting at the dealer now for the B16 Service. I was informed that they will be applying a “Recall” related software update that is independent of the recent 1.1.4 OTA update. Apparently is supposed to fix a number of issues, many of them “safety” related. Don’t have more details. We’ll see how it is afterwards, although to be honest, I never really had too many issues before, but I’m not a “power” infotainment user that some of you may be ;)

Engine Oil Viscosity??

$
0
0
I’ll start by admitting that I’m an outlier. I live in a hot climate – Phoenix, AZ, where temperatures range from +30 to 115 degrees. I have a problem with the 0W-20 Acura recommended oil viscosity. It seems very thin for these temps. Visions of the red-hot turbo bearings while climbing the 6% grades just outside our metro area give me chills.

Accordingly, for my first oil change I bought a 5 quart jug of 20W-50 Mobil 1 synthetic at Walmart, took it to the dealer, who gladly put it and charged me only for a filter and pan plug gasket. My understanding is that this doesn’t violate the warranty since 0W-20 is only “recommended”.

Anyone see a problem with this?

Check VSA, Hill Start Asssit and Power Steering systems

2016 ILX with 61K miles. My gf hit a cement block in NYC on the front right and threw the front alignment totally out of whack. Took it to mechanic over the weekend to get an alignment and they diagnosed a bent tie rod. The tie rod was replaced and the alignment done. Car steers and drives fine. However, I am getting check VSA, check hill start assist and check power steering system warning lights. I told the mechanic that he must have done something because didnt have this issue prior. He said the repair he did wasnt electrical so it's not related. I'm at a loss as to what this is. Any thoughts? They tried resetting the errors and it came back on again. I will have to schedule an appointment at the acura dealer but wanted to get everyone's thoughts.

OMG, how did I just notice this?!??!
