Is the HFL on my Acura MDX working?

The HFL works now but with few exceptions : 1. The unit got quiet warm after I tested it for about 15min. I paired the phone with no problems and placed some calls. I dont have a C-clamp voltmeter to see of there is a battery drain, so I preferred to disconnect it for now.

Why does my Acura MDX battery drain every night?

Pressing the steering wheel buttons did nothing. I also had an issue where the battery would drain every night. I searched the internet and found that it could be a bad HFL module. I found an Acura dealer on eBay who had sold almost 50 of them and paid about $200 for one.

Why is my Bluetooth not working on my Acura TL?

The Bluetooth system began displaying the message ”Booting Up” in the MID, along with ”No Information Available”. Due to the cold weather and slightly longer start times from the HFL module draining the battery when the car was off, I decided to unplug the module and to live without Bluetooth for awhile. The replacement HFL module is $180.

Why does my Acura MDX not turn on?

There are really two main ways that a vehicle will not start. The first and most common is when it won’t turn over. This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your MDX won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own.

Where is the HFL module on an Acura MDX?

I just pulled on the vents/controls behind the center console, which are only held on by tabs, to access the HFL module. The module itself is only held on by three screws. Just make sure you don’t let the screws drop.

Why does my Acura heat up more in winter?

No problems since. I was thinking, if the unit is heating up with normal use and the rear vents are heating it up more in winter and/or cooling too fast in summer causing the solder problem? I went through this problem and fought with my local Acura dealership for nearly a year.
