I have a 2007 Acura RDX SHAWD with Tech package Last night while pulling into the driveway, the SHAWD light came on, and the car became difficult to drive, like it was stuck in mud with the brake on. After a diagnostics check at the dealer, and 9 things they recommended, the root cause of my problem was a bad Alternator, and weak battery. The dealer charged 179 for the diag, 409 parts 388 labor, and 210 for the battery-550 CCA for a total, after discounts/coupons of just under 1000. And they gave me a 12 month, 12000 mile warranty. Don't discount the power of current in your newer vehicles, I thought maybe the transmission was slipping, and might have rear diff problems. This was the first mechanical problem the car had with over 159,000 miles.
Thanks. Great simple things to start with. I also saw a video where they changed out the differential oil temperature sensor. Do you think that’s reasonable as well? Look forward to your other videos.
Hi my sh awd abs and vcs and the triangle light are all on except for engine light any suggestions where to begin as I am not a mech and am limited on funds any help is greatly appreciated TY
begin with reset the system by disconnect the car battery and wait around 20 minutes then reconnect it and start the car... if the issue still then go for battery... check the battery terminals for any dirt or looseness then check the battery if it too weak or damaged. faulty battery often causes a lot of dash warning to appear.
@@CarJustify the battery is new the old battery I took out and it was out for awhile as I had to pick up new battery and return old at the same time everything seems to be good around battery
Check the Fuses on the back of Your MDX. Open the tailgate. Look to your left. Remove the access cover to the Fuse Terminal. Locate the two long slot style connectors below the fuses. The top slot connector is responsible for all your instrument panel lights, turn signal, lock/unlock switch, hi/low beam, security features, Sh-AWD, VTM, and all the above. The culprit is water has been leaking onto the fuse terminal causing electrical shortages which eventually will damage the pin connectors over time due to warn seals around the tailgate. If you can prevent water from seeping into the fuse terminal, you will no longer have problems with the SH-AWD that many people has complained about all over the internet forums. I've installed a plastic cap on top of the terminal covering it half way and not one problem came up over the years. You can unplug the top slot. The security will activate but will eventually time out and your instrument panels will light up again allowing everything to work normally. I challenge you to put and rag on top of the terminal, go for a ride in a rainy day or snowy day, then check the rag. You might be surprised.
Exactly the same thing happened to my 2009 mdx.... Apparently, the guy who worked on my left front wheel broke the abs attached to that wheel. All I did was to replace that damage abs and the lights went off. Vsc, abs and sh-awd lights

Oh BTW a bad o2 sensor will cause that all wheel drive warning light to come on I know because I have an 09 mdx

possible but thats 1% out of 100 in my opinion.
Also don’t forget how the rear computer fucks everything electrical when it leaks through the roof rack mounts on the driver side
great finding. cheers
When I turn on my MDX sometimes it takes a while to start and then it turns on a lot of lights.
I’m having a misfire on cylinder 3 and sh-awd light is on any advice? Also would a misfire cause a funky smell from exhaust
Same I change spark plug and coil and still didn’t change, I also have a knock
Don’t forget the fusible links. The fuses.
