Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common, simple cause on a 2017 Acura NSX and can trigger an emissions fault.
• Look for obvious issues: low oil, coolant leaks, or disconnected hoses and wiring are quick visual checks that can prevent further damage.
• If the light is flashing, reduce load and stop driving—flashing often signals an active misfire that can harm the catalytic converter.
• Bring the vehicle to Nalley Acura for a professional scan; certified diagnostics ensure accurate repair and preserve warranty coverage.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2017 Acura NSX?

• The check engine light is a broad indicator that the vehicle’s emissions or engine systems have reported a fault via OBD-II codes; it does not always mean catastrophic failure.
• Codes can range from simple issues like an EVAP leak or oxygen sensor to more complex items such as ignition misfires or catalyst problems.
• A steady light usually indicates a non-urgent fault; a flashing light is urgent—limit driving and have the vehicle inspected immediately at Nalley Acura.
• Our factory-trained technicians use Acura-specific diagnostics to accurately interpret codes and recommend the right repair to protect performance and longevity.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Basic diagnostic scans for a 2017 Acura NSX typically take 30–90 minutes depending on code complexity and the need for live data capture.
• Simple repairs—such as tightening a gas cap or replacing a sensor—can often be completed the same day; more involved repairs require an estimate and scheduling.
• At Nalley Acura we prioritize efficient scheduling and use OEM parts, which provides immediate reliability and long-term savings versus repeat fixes.
• If a repair is covered by warranty, it must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage and correct documentation; we handle that process for you.
