  3. Radio Head Unit - Repair I

    Introduction
    Issues with the radio head unit is a common fault, affecting nearly all NSX depending on age and climate zone. Capacitor replacement should be the first step to perform, followed by further analysis and repair.

    Diagnostic
    The following error cases and ways of repairing have been identified so far. Almost all of them are caused by capacitor leakage but not exclusively since the radios suffer from normal wear and tear similar to other consumer audio electronics. ...

  4. Climate Control Unit (CCU) - Repair

    Introduction
    Failure of the Climate Control Unit (CCU) is a common fault, affecting nearly any NSX. In almost any case, capacitor replacement and track repair will fix all issues. Depending on the state of the PCB, further damage to other components can happen, though.

    Diagnostic - Transistor Issues
    The following error cases and ways of repairing have been identified so far. These faults can be caused by major acid leakage affecting nearby transistors.

  5. Gauge Cluster - Tester

    Introduction
    The NSX Gauge Cluster provides a large number of functions and displays, resulting in roughly 60 pins across two green connectors. Testing all of them manually is a error-prone task, requires special equipment and takes a lot of time. To speed things up, it helps to have a tester that provides all of these functions in a compact way and utilizing the original connectors.

    Requirements
    A simple user interface. Usage of the original connectors. Adaptable for multiple ...
