you can find that out by simply having the fault codes read

You can get the transmission rebuilt. Look for a local transmission repair shop. It's much cheaper that way.

Most likely is one of your door pin switches is very marginal and barely making contact and slight vibrations push it over the edge. The easiest way to find it usually is close the vehicle with all windows down, lock and activate the alarm. wait 2 minutes (for modules to sleep and fully arm). Now without reaching inside or touching the outside handle, grab each door over the open window and shake it gently while pulling out. this doesnt have to be violent by any means...just a light shake should be enough. If one of them trips the alarm and the others do not, youve likely found your answer,. some people believe in putting a spacer on a door pin switch if it has one. That can work for awhile and is fast and cheap. If the switch for the door is in the lock, youll likely end up replacing the lock assembly. If your regular mechanic has an enhanced san tool for talking to the vehicle computer, he can extract the most recent alarm trigger data from the tool. This is absolutely the best and easiest way, but expect to pay for it. He has training, rent, and a 5000 dollar scantool to pay for to be able to do such work, its worth every penny. Good luck.,

Look in your owners manual and a lot of the time there is a card or piece of paper with the code. If not there, I would go to your Honda/Acura dealer and tell them you had to unhook your battery and don't have the code. In the past I have gotten the code this way and they didn't charge me anything.

The 3 hopeful places most common on a Honda/Acura product are: 1- owners manual. 2-card in the glovebox or inserted in the owners manual 3-look on the inside lip of the glovebox door for a white or blue or silver sticker with numbers on it. IF you have the sticker, the number will be your radio code. If you dont have any of those 3, you can call your selling dealer and they are SUPPOSED to keep it and return it for free, or any other honda dealer MAY give it (in person!) for free or a small fee. It can also be determined with a code calculator, but that requires the serial number off the radio, which means removing it, so lets try the above 1st as all are easier than taking things apart.

I wouldn't trust them at all I would however-- be there-- & see the testing that was done, in person,so you can make a informed decision If you had been looking under the hood, once a month, you would see the battery leaking & the cable being effected No reason to allow that

fuses first , check all fuses. then check if dead switches are 12vdc input and then dead output to the window motors. use a voltmeter for effortless and zero error, diagnosis. the FSM covers all tests here, why not get one. and read those steps? or alldata.com

I had a similar problem and the solution was actually very simple. I opened the car manually (with the key not remote control), then locked it manually with the button on the side of the driver's door. I think that reset the alarm and all was good!

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL. WHEN DID YOU LAST SERVICE THE CAR? YOU MIGHT NEED TO CONSIDER FULL SERVICE DONE ON THE CAR

To change the auto transmission fluid in your car you have some choices, if you just want to replace the fluid and filter that will replace about 3-4 quarts of the trans fluid, this requires the pan on the bottom of the trans be removed (there is no drain plug), the filter is inside, this is very messy. If you wish to do a complete fluid exchange you will first need to remove the filter and replace it, then have the transmission flushed with a special machine that pumps out all of the old fluid and replaces it with new fluid, most oil change shops do this service as well as the dealer, the dealer charges about the same and i would take it there.

have alternator checked good luck low voltaGE will set air bag lite on

undo battery for 5 minutes reconnect and code should clear if it comes back on have advanced auto or another parts store check the codes it is free for there computer check

maintance i think when was the last oil change

Most of the time no. Easy way for a repair shop to make money on ya though. Look at the coolant and see what it looks like. Whether you have the green stuff or the pink/red stuff, if it is a nice color then you are good, If its rusty or dirty and a dirty brown color than it probably is a good idea.

Have your alignment rechecked by another shop including toe and castor.

try the spare key ,if that doesnt work then its a dealer only job .

Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Control Circuit Low

Its either the climate control switch on the dash(less likely) or the warm/cold air motor under the dash.

I only get credit when you rate my answer.........Thanks
