Maybe it’s your Bluetooth module? Not sure if that is tied into the sound system. These were notorious for draining batteries in certain acuras.

4.4a is a huge draw, that can’t be right. Do you mean 44ma? Have you tried pulling fuses yet?

That battery is bad. If your alternator shows 14.3, it’s good, but battery can’t hold a charge. If I were you, I’d stop messing around, go to Walmart and get a new battery. Anything below 12.3 and you can easily have starting issues. Charging the battery won’t help you. Your alternator is...

What does the battery read with the car running? Should be 13.9-14.4. What does it read with the car off?

Glad you finally got it! Are you saying you tried turning the caliper piston? That should only be pushed back in like N7turbo mentions. You read so many nightmares about this job, but I just wonder how much of it is user error versus a poorly designed system. I have not done my rear brakes...

You didn’t say, but are you putting the vehicle in accessory mode (press start button twice) before trying to take it out of maintenance mode? And to confirm, the P light is illuminated on the dash? Press down on accelerator pedal, pull up on parking brake switch (light should be flashing on...

I have three of these, work great. They are a bit higher than the $38 I paid a few weeks ago. Not hard wired, runs off cigarette lighter. Has front and rear cameras, easy to run the wires, good app integration, excellent picture day and night. https://a.co/d/8b2NA4O

Regardless of temp, I let the car idle until RPMs drop (about 30 secs) and I don’t use the heat until the blue light goes off, about a mile drive.

I think this is an old recall. The pump on my 2018 was replaced 4 years ago on a recall. My 2019 shows no open or closed recalls related to the fuel pump.

Cold or at temp? Mine looked good cold, but when it was warmed up it was well below the mark on the stick.

You were right. I just checked both my 18 and 19 warmed up and they were on the low side. I added 200ml and that seemed to bring it into the proper range. I’ll check it in a few days to double check. What’s odd is why we haven’t seen any transmission issues with the fluid being under filled...

Before you drain, check mark on dipstick. Then drain and refill with same amount and check dipstick. If the level is at the same mark on the dipstick, you are good. Before you start, if you get no or a low reading, then yes it’s under filled. It can’t be considered under filled if the dipstick...

It’s $9 a quart of trans fluid Aisin FZ on rock auto and 30 mins of work. You only need 4 quarts for a D&F unless you want to do it 3x. $36 and 30 mins…I don’t know what a dealer would be doing for $410.

No reason to keep it alive. Only thing you will have to do is reset your 1 touch window up and down for driver and passenger. Nothing else will be lost. I’ve replaced batteries on both my 18 and 19 cx-5s with Costco batteries.

Depends on how you do it. If you just remove the drain plug, about 3.2 quarts will come out. Never flush a transmission. The proper way is 3x drain and fill. There isn’t much need to drop the pan unless you are having significant shifting issues and want to check if any material is being...
