Not all hybrid vehicles are the same. Some are named "hybrids" because they rely on battery power to propel or assist in propelling the vehicle. A hybrid vehicle might plug-in to charge, and some hybrids have regenerative braking. Some hybrids even come equipped with a conventional 12-volt battery and a high-voltage battery. With so many differences between hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs, your 2018 Acura RLX needs a professional who knows hybrids. We'll help your hybrid run newer, longer. Your neighborhood Firestone Complete Auto Care location is fully equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid makes and models, including your 2018 Acura RLX.

Certain stores also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the Acura's high voltage safety/service disconnect plug/switch, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to ensure your closest location offers high voltage services. Some of these high voltage vehicle services may include:

With more information in hand, your technician can assess your hybrid car problems and perform additional tests, if needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: Your technician will inspect the RLX's battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection:  Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your Acura RLX and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is your Acura RLX's high voltage battery a goner? Let us replace it for you.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll check the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your 2018 Acura RLX.
