The dashboard warning lights on a 2014 Acura TL Base Sedan include the Check Engine light, Battery Charge light, Brake System light, Oil Pressure light, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light, among others. Each light indicates a specific issue that may need attention or service.
To reset the maintenance light on a 2014 Acura TL Base, turn the ignition to the 'ON' position. Press the 'SEL/RESET' button on the steering wheel repeatedly until the oil life is displayed. Press and hold the 'SEL/RESET' button until the oil life begins to blink, then release the button and hold it again until the oil life resets to 100%.
First, check the audio system's fuse to ensure it is not blown. Next, verify that the volume is turned up and the source is correctly set. If using Bluetooth or auxiliary connections, ensure that devices are paired and connected properly. If problems persist, a system reset or professional inspection may be necessary.
If the dashboard lights are dim, first check the dimmer switch located near the headlight controls to ensure it is set to the desired brightness. If adjusting the dimmer does not help, inspect the fuses and bulbs for any faults or failures.
To connect a smartphone to the 2014 Acura TL Base's Bluetooth system, ensure the phone's Bluetooth is enabled. On the vehicle, press the 'Phone' button on the audio system, select 'Yes' when prompted to add a device, and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the phone. Enter the passcode if required.
To replace the dashboard light bulbs, disconnect the battery and remove the dashboard panels to access the bulb sockets. Carefully remove the old bulbs and replace them with new ones of the same type. Reassemble the dashboard panels and reconnect the battery.
To check the oil life, turn the ignition to the 'ON' position without starting the engine. Use the 'SEL/RESET' button on the steering wheel to navigate the display until the oil life percentage is shown on the dashboard.
The TPMS warning light indicates that one or more tires may be under-inflated. Check the tire pressures with a gauge and inflate them to the recommended levels. If the light remains on after adjusting the pressures, it may require a system reset or inspection for possible sensor issues.
To improve dashboard visibility in bright conditions, adjust the dimmer switch to increase brightness. Keeping the dashboard clean from dust and fingerprints can also help. Consider using a dashboard cover to reduce glare.
If the dashboard display is not functioning, first check the fuse associated with the display. If the fuse is intact, try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to reset the system. If the display still does not work, professional diagnostic and repair may be needed.
