Troubleshooting

Sometimes your Acura may require professional attention between services. If you spot potential trouble, take your Acura to the dealership to be diagnosed by a factory-trained Acura technician.

If there's a problem, you'll usually see, hear, or feel it. Here are some tips on identifying potential symptoms.

Exhaust Smoke

Freshly started vehicles may emit some white smoke as condensed water vapor in the exhaust system is burned off. If smoke persists after your Acura warms up, it could indicate a problem.

  • White indicates an internal coolant leak.
  • Blue indicates burning oil.
  • Black can indicate either an ignition or fuel system problem.
