Acura 2006 TSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 325)

If the indicator remains on or the
fuel cap was not loose or missing,
have the vehicle checked by the
dealer as soon as possible.
If you have recently refueled your
vehicle, the cause of this indicator
coming on could be a loose or
missing fuel fill cap. Check the cap
or replace it. Tightening the cap will
not make the indicator turn off
immediately; it takes several days of
normal driving.
If the charging system indicator
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, or if you see a ‘‘CHECK
CHARGING SYSTEM’’ message in
the multi-information display, the
battery is not being charged.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical
assistance.
If this indicator comes on while
driving, or if you see a ‘‘CHECK
EMISSION SYSTEM’’ message in
the multi-information display, it
means one of the engine’s emissions
control systems may have a problem.
Even though you may feel no
difference in your vehicle’s
performance, it can reduce your fuel
economy and cause increased
emissions. Continued operation may
cause serious damage.
