You'll probably never need to diagnose an instrument light problem with your car, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun performing this test. And knowing that the gauges and lights are working is reassuring.

If you want to show this to friends, be warned that HID headlights service life can be reduced by turning them on and off needlessly. The bulbs aren't cheap. I recommend pulling the fuses for them before doing this repeated.

This procedure is specific to HONDAs and ACURAs.

  1. Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Save the headlights from excessive use: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • This procedure involves turning on and off the headlights repeatedly, which which can reduce the HID headlights' mean lifetime before failure. As a precursor, consider removing the 15A left & right low headlight fuses from the under-hood fuse box, positions 1 and 6. (Refer to your Owners Manual for instructions, or an iFixit guide.)

    • Be sure to reinstall the low beam headlight fuses before driving the vehicle.

  2. Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Starting the self test inputs: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Starting the self test inputs: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Starting the self test inputs: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock. Leave it in the 0 or I position.

    • Push and hold the Sel/Reset knob (on the instrument panel by the fuel gauge), or the Sel/reset button on the right hand of the steering wheel below the Multi-Information Display Info button.

  3. Initiate the instrument cluster self-test: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Turn the headlights ON.

    • Turn the ignition switch to ON (position II).

    • Some of the instrument lights will come on. If you aren't wearing your seatbelt, the seatbelt warning chime will sound.

    • Within five seconds, and still holding in the Sel/Reset button, turn the headlights OFF, then ON, then OFF again.

  6. Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Final inputs, and here comes the show: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Final inputs, and here comes the show: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Initiate the instrument cluster self-test, Final inputs, and here comes the show: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Within 5 seconds, release the Sel/reset button.

    • Push and release the Sel/reset button button 3 times repeatedly.

    • The instrument cluster begins its self-test.

    • Each successive press of the Sel/reset button initiates a new cycling of all the gauges.

    • To end, turn the ignition switch to OFF, or vehicle speed exceeds 1.5 mph.

    • If you removed the 15A headlight fuses from the under-hood fuse box in step 1, reinstall them before driving.

Folks, don’t post here asking about A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VEHICLE. This page is for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX (Honda CL9), no others. Keep searching.

I left decklid open overnight and now my instrument panel is not working

Anthony - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I have an 08 Acura TSX. The lights on the dash are flashing on and off. None of the guages work, neither does the heater. when I plug in my OBD, it throws a U0155 code, lost communication with the instrument panel cluster. The funny thing is, when I plug in the OBD, the instrument cluster work fine, as well as the heat. Please help!

John Dolan - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

My 2007 TSX cluster did not enter this self test. Followed 100%. Repeated multiple times still no show.

🤷 Sorry, I can only attest for the 2006 model year.
