To change the ABS sensor on an Acura TL you will first need to make sure that the vehicle is parked on level ground and turned off.

Unplug the ABS electric wiring socket that you wish to replace. Use a socket to remove retaining bolts through the wheel hub assembly. Remove the wheel hub and you will find the ABS sensor behind this area. Remove the mounting bolts that hold the ABS sensor in place. Put the new ABS sensor in place and secure it with the mounting bolts. Reattach the wheel assembly hub and make sure it is secured in place. Plug the ABS wiring harness in.

How do I Disable the seatbelt alarm in 2007 Acura TL?

wear the seatbelt Let me add to this answer... Don't you just love people who act all righteous and stuff when you post a question like this. They love to respond with "OMG why would you NOT want to wear it?" "You could die!!" "GOSH, you are like all stupid and all because I wear my seatbelt because the law told me to and you should be just like me...." WAH WAH WAH. "wear the seatbelt" if you are a panty wetting liberal who feels everyone should wear their seatbelt because it will save the CHILLLLRENNNN. If it saves just one single wittle baby, then it would be worth it. After all, we should violate everyones constitutional rights and let the government tell us all how to live and what to do. In fact, the government should legislate everyone's personal freedom in order to protect us from ourselves. Even though our country was founded on personal freedom, which includes personal freedom FROM government. To be truly free means we even get to have the right to not have to wear a selt belt if we do not. The true freedom that our forefathers dreamed of and set up in this country includes the right to risk my own life if I want to. I should not have to wear my seatbelt just because some jerk thinks they should tell me how to live. It should be a choice I get to make. Our forefathers thought that personal responsibility and freedom was more important than legislating people into oblivian. Whenever someone says, "there ought to be a law", then believe me, there ought NOT to be a law. These stupid laws may make people feeeeeeel all good about themselves. But every one of these stupid laws is a piece of our freedom being taken away from us. It is way more than just having to put a seatbelt on. Since when did our country become mob rule. Today, 51% of the people out there somehow get to tell the other 49% how to live. This is not what our forefathers intended. We are a republic, not a democracy. There is a big difference. Look it up. So don't wear your seatbelt if you do not want to. If you want to wear it, than good for you. But do not feel like you need to tell others to do as you do.

What is the buzzing sound that comes from the brake modulator on a 96 acura tl 3.2?

The buzzing could be the ABS working when you step on the brake in slippery conditions. You would hear it operating to control wheel lock-up. This also may be heard without applying the brakes, at idle or when cruising for example, if the ABS system senses that it needs to build pressure. This ABS system seeks to always maintain a pressure reserve so that it is constantly ready to engage. Also see "Why are both the abs and tcs lights on your 1997 tl 3.2 constantly on with no way of turning them off?" in the Acura TL section of this website.

On my 2000 ford Taurus is is located just to the left of the air filter case,in front of the driver side fire wall under the hood, behind & under the air filter duct, on top of the transmission. It has 2 8mm bolts on each side, 1 13mm nut in the center with a 1" bracket attached to a rod that goes to the fire wall,the bracket will move if you have someone shift the gear shifter on the steering wheel.
Answer
It appears that the part does go by both names:
  • Autozone refers to it as the Neutral Safety Switch as the replacement part
  • and the above-mentioned Transmission Range Selector switch in the "Repair Guide"

NOTE: Autozone now requires free registration to access the repair guides. More than worth the extra effort for these photo/illustrated instructions.




It's not called that anymore. It's now called the Transmission Range Selector and it's located right on top of the transmission.


The neutral safety switch on a Ford Taurus is also called a transmission shift relay switch. It is on top of the transmission just back of and below the air filter box and air inlet hose. You can see a lever and arm attached to the top of it and a connector to the side. About $50 at Murray's auto parts.

I need a code for the navigation system for my Acura TL 2006 that I purchased used.?

There is a certain set of buttons that you must depress simultaneously in order to get the Navigation devices "ID" that, in turn, you would contact any Honda/Acura dealership and ask them for the code you need to enter into your Navigation system in order for it to power on & operate as expected. I do not recall which buttons you much depress and I would simply swing by your local Honda/Acura dealership & ask them to assist you in getting it set up. Keep those codes handy as every time you disconnect the battery from the vehicle, you'll have to reset the code.
