INSPECTION
If the client does not have a complaint of an engine stall, do REPAIR PROCEDURE A – PGM-FI UPDATE. For vehicles in your dealership’s new and used vehicle inventory, do REPAIR PROCEDURE A.
If the client has a complaint about an engine stall, proceed with this inspection.
- Connect the i-HDS to the vehicle, and turn the ignition to ON.
- Select PGM-FI, Mode Menu, then On-Board Snapshot.
- Select the on-board snapshot titled, Full List – Engine stall 2.
NOTE
There may be several on-board snapshot files. If there is no Engine stall 2 in the on-board snapshot, only do REPAIR PROCEDURE A – PGM-FI UPDATE.
- Select the Configuration icon.
- From the list of parameters, select the following:
MDX and TLX AWD:
- Engine Speed
- Vehicle Speed
- Fuel Pressure Converted from PF sensor
TLX 2WD:
- Engine Speed
- Vehicle Speed
- F Injector
- AF Lambda
- Select the Line Graph
- For TLX 2WD, if Engine Speed is 0 RPM and AF Lambda is 2, while Vehicle Speed is greater than 0 MPH, the engine stalled. Proceed to the next step.
NOTE
If the on-board snapshot does not match the examples shown above, the engine stall is not related to this issue in this bulletin. Do REPAIR PROCEDURE A – PGM-FI UPDATE, and continue normal diagnosis for the engine stall.
- E-mail the on-board snapshot to Part_Release@ahm.honda
.com. Make sure to include the following information to obtain approval to order replacement parts:
- VIN on the e-mail title and a picture of the VIN label on the door jamb
- Dealer number
- Vehicle mileage
- On-board snapshot including the Engine stall 2 file
The on-board snapshot will be reviewed and you will receive a response within 24 hours.

NHTSA Recall 19V-060
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dear <First Name Last Name>,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS NOTICE?
Acura
has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2015โ2019 model year TLX vehicles equipped with a V6 engine. Fuels containing high sodium content can contaminate certain internal components in the fuel pump and reduce fuel flow to the engine.
SAFETY CONSEQUENCE
Reduced fuel flow to the engine combined with vehicle operation in high temperature conditions can restrict vehicle acceleration and/or cause an engine stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
EMISSION CONSEQUENCE
The check engine light may illuminate as a result of this defect. Your vehicle may fail a state or local emissions inspection when such tests are required under state law if you do not have the repair done.
WHAT WILL ACURA
DO?
The dealer will update the software for the engine control unit with programming that eliminates sodium contamination in the fuel pump for free. The dealer will also perform a diagnostic scan on your vehicle and, if the diagnostic scan confirms a previous occurrence of engine stalling, the fuel pump will be replaced for free.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Please call any Acura
dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicleโs software programming updated, a diagnostic scan performed and if necessary, the fuel pump will be replaced for free. Once you make an appointment for your vehicle, be advised that the reprogramming process may take approximately 30 minutes. If the fuel pump must be replaced, the total repair process (including software update) may take approximately 1 hour. However, your dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit, as it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information!
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE FOR OPEN RECALLS
You can check your vehicleโs eligibility for repair under this or any other recall. Please access the Acura

EMISSION WARRANTY
In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty provisions, it is recommended that you have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. Failure to do so could be determined as lack of proper maintenance.

i-HDS Diagnostic Software and J2534 Reprogramming Software
American Honda
Motor Co., Inc. ("Honda
") offers the i-HDS (Honda
Diagnostic System) software suite for the diagnosis and repair of electronic systems on Honda
and Acura
automobiles, and for the reprogramming of electronic control units (including, but not limited to, ECMs and PCMs). This software provides access to all Honda
and Acura
vehicle systems (access to the immobilizer security system requires aย Security Professionalย level software subscription and Vehicle Security Professional [VSP] registration with NASTF). To use the i-HDS software, you need to purchase one of our convenient subscription options. In addition, you will need a pass-thru Vehicle Communication Device (VCI) that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2 in order to communicate with the vehicle
Vehicle Communication Interfaces (VCI)
The i-HDS software supports the use of a generic pass-thru VCI that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2. However, Honda recommends the Denso DST-i or the Bosch MVCI for use on Honda and Acura
vehicles, as Honda has worked closely with these manufacturers to ensure their hardware and our software interact safely and within the J2534-1 and -2 specifications, for both diagnostics and reprogramming. If you choose to use a generic VCI, please carefully consider the customer and technical support options you will receive from your chosen device supplier. Honda does not provide technical or customer support for generic VCI devices.
The VCI Application Table below lists devices that either are approved and supported by Honda or are known to have completed and passed an independent, exhaustive validation program with our i-HDS software suite.
| VCI Name | Manufacturer | Version Information | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firmware | J2534 API | |||
| DST-i | DENSO | 2.02.0002* | 04.04 | This is the current generation VCI used by Honda and Acura |
| DST-nano | DENSO | 2.02.0002* | 04.04 | This is the current generation VCI used byย Honda Canada Inc.ย Honda and Acura |
| MVCI | Bosch | 3.01.60* | 04.04 | This is the previous generation VCI used by Honda and Acura |
| MongoosePro Honda | Drew Technologies | 1.9.5** | 04.04 | This company has completed an independent i-HDS validation and claims it to function with the i-HDS software. Honda does not provide ongoing validation, nor customer support for this device. |
| d-briDGe Pro | Dearborn Group | 3.303** | 04.04 | This company has completed an independent i-HDS validation and claims it to function with the i-HDS software. Honda does not provide ongoing validation, nor customer support for this device. |
* These versions may have been superseded. Honda provides the latest supported versions to current i-HDS subscribers.
** Version used in validation program. See Terms and Conditions and Important Notice Regarding Reprogramming below for more details.
Reprogramming with theย J2534 Rewriteย Application in i-HDS
Included in the i-HDS software suite is a new reprogramming application called J2534 Rewrite. This application is made available to all subscribers of the i-HDS software suite and replaces the previous generation software,ย J2534 Honda Pass-thru Reprogramming Software.
This new application is compatible with generic VCIs that comply with SAE J2534. It must be used to reprogram any Honda/Acura
vehicle equipped with ECUs that support reprogramming. Refer to the table below for legacy applicability for the programming of ECMs and PCMs. Though system dependent, late-model vehicles may be equipped with other ECUs that support reprogramming as well, e.g. ABS or VSA.ย J2534 Rewriteย must be used to reprogram these control modules, as instructed in an applicable service bulletin.
As shown in this table, not all legacy Honda/Acura
models are equipped with a reprogrammable ECM/PCM. Furthermore, all 2007 and later models not listed in the table are fully supported with this application.
