How often will I need Acura ILX differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a ILX?

If your ILX has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your ILX’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your ILX’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my ILX?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your ILX. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your ILX.

Is my ILX’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your ILX’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your ILX forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
