The Acura Maintenance MinderTM system, available on current Acura models, uses Acura service codes to determine the kind and timing of necessary Acura maintenance for your car. Acura service codes consist of one or two digits (1-6) and one letter (a or b). Use the helpful advice below if the Acura B1 or B2 service code has shown on your display while you're traveling around Auburn or Phenix City and you're wondering what Acura B1 or Acura B2 service is. Next, if a service is overdue, have a look at our service offers and get assistance from Acura of Columbus's service staff!
The letter in your Acura Service code will be accompanied by a series of numbers that can help to further specify what issues your Phenix City vehicle is having. Take a moment to review what the numbers indicate:
-
1: Rotate tires

2: Replace air cleaner element; replace dust and pollen filter; inspect drive belt
-
3: Replace transmission fluids

4: Inspect water pump; inspect valve clearance; replace spark plugs; replace timing belts
