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 visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2019 RLX and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable is damaged and 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 not as strong as it once was? Let us install a new one.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll review the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your 2019 Acura RLX.
