Acura have machines which display the same information in numeric form. Which is then easily translated on a chart. Having this information available to us is useless if you are going to an acura dealership because most charge $75 for a diagnostic (required because they never trust the user, and shouldn't) and then there are labor and parts costs to fix the problem.

If we know exactly what the problem is then we should take advantage of that knowledge and head to the nearest junkyard or Autozone for a replacement when appropriate. Also, there's nothing wrong with getting your local mech to do non engine invasive work I think. I had my timing belt changed right in front of me for 2/3rds the cost Acura would charge for labor alone.
