RE:
El ID de calibración de CPU del PGM-FI puede que no emita datos a una herramienta
de diagnóstico genérica
Estimado :
¿Cuál es el motivo de esta notificación?
Nuestros registros indican que no se ha completado una actualización de producto en este vehículo (Número
de identificación del vehículo [VIN NUMBER]). La computadora PGM-FI puede que no emita algunos datos de
comunicación requeridos a una herramienta de diagnóstico genérica bajo ciertas condiciones debido a un defecto
de programa interno. Esto no tiene efecto en la función o uso del vehículo. Para los clientes los cuales pueden
estar sujetos al mantenimiento de inspección o la prueba de control de Smog, este problema puede ocasionarle
que falle una inspección.
¿Qué hará Acura?
Acura
actualizará el programa CPU del PGM-FI de forma gratuita. Por favor haga planes para dejar su vehículo en
el concesionario por lo menos medio día, para permitir flexibilidad en la programación de la cita.

Para garantizar su completa protección bajo las disposiciones de la actualización de producto, se recomienda que
se completen las reparaciones a su vehículo lo antes posible. De no hacerlo podría determinarse como una falta de
