Acura 2012 TL User Manual download pdf (Page 592)

When you turn the ignition switch to

the START (III) position or on

models with keyless access system,

press the engine start/stop button to

set START Mode (see page ),

you do not hear the normal noise of

the engine trying to start. You may

hear a clicking sound, a series of

clicks, or nothing at all.

Diagnosing why the engine won’t

start falls into two areas, depending

on what you hear when you turn the

ignition switch to the START (III)

position or on models with keyless

access system, press the engine

start/stop button to set START

Mode (see page ):

You can hear the starter motor

operating normally, or the starter

motor sounds like it is spinning

faster than normal, but the engine

does not start up and run.

You hear nothing, or almost

nothing. The engine’s starter

motor does not operate at all, or

operates very slowly.

Check these things:

Check the transmission interlock.

If you have a manual transmission,

the clutch pedal must be pushed

all the way to the floor or the

starter will not operate. With an

automatic transmission, it must be

in Park or neutral.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON

(II) position or on models with

keyless access system, press the

engine start/stop button to set ON

Mode (see page ). Turn on the

headlights, and check their

brightness. If the headlights are

very dim or do not come on at all,

the battery is discharged. See

on page .
