2007–2009 Acura MDX Owner's Manual (P/N 00X31-STX-6102)

• Coverage and document set: 87 PDFs totaling 5,408 PDF pages—85 topic-organized repair files labeled primarily for the 2007–2009 Acura MDX (4,429 pages), plus the 2008 Owner’s Manual, P/N 00X31-STX-6102 (490 pages), and the 2009 Owner’s Manual, P/N 00X31-STX-6200 (489 pages). Narrower files cover 2007–2008 conventional brakes and DTCs, 2008 advanced diagnostics and electrical-component locations, and 2008–2009 exterior trim.
• Engine and emissions repair: Covers engine removal and installation, timing-belt service, valve-clearance adjustment, VTEC rocker-arm testing, cylinder-head work, crankshaft and piston inspection, PGM-FI diagnosis, emissions fault isolation, and PCM reset and relearn operations.
• Five-speed automatic transmission: Includes HDS and SCS diagnostics, road and stall-speed tests, hydraulic pressure testing, solenoid checks, transmission removal and installation, valve-body repair, clutch inspection, internal disassembly and reassembly, and transfer-gear preload and backlash checks.
• SH-AWD, brakes, steering, and suspension: Provides SH-AWD function and electromagnetic-clutch tests, control-unit updating and initialization, differential clutch-torque memorization, rear-differential overhaul, VSA diagnosis, brake bleeding and caliper overhaul, steering pump tests and gearbox overhaul, plus active-damper and standard-suspension procedures.
• SRS and climate control: Details SRS DTC diagnosis, ODS initialization and calibration, passenger weight-sensor service, airbag and side-curtain replacement, post-deployment inspection, A/C system diagnosis, sensor and actuator tests, compressor-clutch overhaul, and front and rear HVAC component service.
• Electrical, body, and convenience systems: Covers B-CAN troubleshooting, PCM and multiplex circuits, connector and control-unit tests, and repair information for TPMS, gauges, lighting, navigation, AcuraLink, audio, driver-position memory, keyless security, power tailgate, windows, seats, doors, moonroof, and interior trim.

This set is suited to professional technicians and experienced DIY owners who already understand automotive repair and have access to HDS-compatible diagnostics, electrical test equipment, lifting equipment, and the specified special tools. The Owner’s Manuals support normal vehicle operation, but the repair files assume workshop-level knowledge.

Diagnostic Depth and Technical Data

The diagnostic material goes well beyond an operating guide. It provides DTC indexes and decision paths, HDS/SCS code retrieval, freeze-data and on-board snapshot use, symptom charts, connector-terminal references, module input/output tests, and system descriptions. Coverage accounts for equipment differences such as navigation versus non-navigation vehicles, AcuraLink, rear entertainment, power tailgate, and active damper suspension.

Named tools include the EQS02BMDXSB0 front subframe adapter, 07VAJ-P8A010A VTEC air adapter, 07AAJ-PNAA101 air-pressure regulator, and 07SAZ-001000A backprobe set. The specifications material supplies component torque tables, fluid capacities, pressure-test data, electrical test values, clearances, wear limits, and adjustment information for the covered systems.

Diagrams and Repair Views

The files contain system diagrams, circuit schematics, connector views, diagnostic charts, and exploded assemblies. Representative examples include the six-part PCM Electrical Connections wiring diagram, automatic-transmission Hydraulic Flow Diagrams, the two-part Rear Differential Circuit Diagram, the four-part SRS System Circuit Diagram, the Multiplex Integrated Control System Circuit Diagram, and separate damper/spring exploded views for vehicles with and without the active damper system.

Owner Operation and Configuration

The 2008 and 2009 Owner’s Manuals explain the instrument indicators, gauges, multi-information display, SH-AWD and TPMS displays, driver-position memory, climate and audio controls, power tailgate, keyless entry, maintenance minder, emergency procedures, child-restraint anchorage, towing, fluid checks, and vehicle specifications. The 2008 file is specifically marked “Unlinked” and states that it will be replaced by a hyperlinked version at the end of the model year because content and specifications may change during the year. The 2009 file is the Online Reference edition.

Scope and Repair Cautions

The two Owner’s Manuals are Honda publications identified by the part numbers above. The repair material is presented as separate system files bearing Mitchell Repair Information copyright and “Courtesy of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.” attribution, not as one bound Honda service publication with a common P/N.

The SRS material warns that cable-reel misalignment can open the wiring and disable the restraint system, steering-wheel controls, and horn. Transmission procedures also flag connector damage from improper solenoid handling and seal damage or oil-feed misalignment during valve-body reassembly. Airbag, fuel, brake, refrigerant, and raised-vehicle work requires the stated safety procedures, proper equipment, and qualified repair practices.
