    Default Common Faults

    Hi All, how about we start a list of common/recurring faults for the NSX here, and also the solutions that we have all found.

    I think I have had a few and managed to repair most so for, maybe usefull for "newbies" to the NSX family.

    1. Internal door handle break, - new fix it thingy from Dali fitted.
    2. Snap ring - new casing available, but I opted to fit new snap ring, from HUK (£3.50).
    3. Slow windows, - re-grease runners?
    4. pop-up head light wobble - Tighten securing nuts via wheel arch.

    Well that's a start.

    Maybe not, but that's a good thing. It's just the usual things that people ask about, TCS and ABS faults, but I have no idea about them!!

    7. Condensation in the rear light clusters - remove and drill a few small holes underneath.

    Red face failures

    8.Crank pulley failure on early cars irrespective of mileage. Age related failure. This will become more common over time it seems. £466 HUK

    I spoke to my mechanic and he said that is not just the NSX that it was common on the early accords or legends. He said that it was nothing to worry about, just like the water pump, inspect and replace if nessesary. He is one of the first guys to deal with the NSX in the UK. He only remembers changing one, and they used to be one of a handful of NSX authorized dealers.

    Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

    N/S wheel sensor = ABS/TCS lights.
    O2 sensor = ECL and oftren TCS lights.

    TCS Light - CEL code 3-4 (VRef Signal)

    This usually relates to the main relay located on the rear bulkhead (near the TCS ECU). Either resolder the joints on the circuit board of the relay or replace the relay itself. This tends to affect early model cars.


    Petrol Filler Flap not opening properly.

    Check\replace the small black (metal) spring near the hinge. Sometimes you can bend this back to make it more 'springy'
