- SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve SRS Control Unit (2007-2011, 2013) and SRS Control Unit (2012). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
- Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
Can you program Acura MDX (2007-2013) modules?
Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Acura MDX (2007-2013). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.
Which modules are documented for Acura MDX (2007-2013)?
The Acura MDX (2007-2013) generation currently shows 15 core module records across ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS groups. SRS modules include SRS Control Unit (2007-2011, 2013) and SRS Control Unit (2012). Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 77800STXA820C3 (2007-2011, 2013) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
Can you reset the airbag module on Acura MDX (2007-2013)?
Yes. The generation data includes 2 SRS records, including SRS Control Unit (2007-2011, 2013) and SRS Control Unit (2012). Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 77800STXA820C3 (2007-2011, 2013) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
Do all Acura MDX (2007-2013) years use the same parts?
No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2007-2013; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.
How long does service take for Acura MDX (2007-2013)?
Most programming, cloning, and SRS jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Service time varies by module type, condition, security access, and the active mobile service path. Mail-in module service is available nationwide. Exact service eligibility is confirmed from the year, VIN, module, and requested scope.
Is Acura MDX (2007-2013) service mobile or mail-in?
Mobile service covers DFW on-vehicle diagnostics, post-repair coding, and supported module work. Mail-in module service is available nationwide. We confirm the active path for your exact year, VIN, module, and requested scope before service.
