2010 Acura MDX Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2010 Acura MDX may seem tempting, but a reset without proper diagnosis can hide persistent faults and lead to bigger failures later. At Coggin Acura Fort Pierce, we recommend a diagnostic-first approach: our technicians read and interpret trouble codes, clear historical data where appropriate, and then verify the repair through a post‑service scan. Choosing dealer service ensures transparency — we document codes, recommend OEM parts, and provide written estimates so you know what to expect.

2010 Acura MDX Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2010 Acura MDX include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0172 (fuel trim issues), and oxygen sensor faults.
