2010 Acura TL Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2010 Acura TL include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), and oxygen sensor-related codes. Each code points to a specific problem: P0420 can lead to failed emissions tests and expensive catalytic replacement; P0300 can cause rough idle, poor fuel economy, and damage over time; fuel trim codes often indicate vacuum leaks or injector issues that reduce efficiency and increase wear. At Coggin Acura Fort Pierce our technicians interpret these codes within the context of vehicle history and live data to avoid unnecessary parts replacement. Choosing our dealership delivers real savings — accurate diagnostics prevent repeat repairs, OEM parts preserve system integrity, and factory-trained techs guarantee work backed by dealer warranty.
