HomeLink(R) Sysetm - Passcode Resetting

Resetting the HFL Passcode in an '05-06 MDX

Got a '05-06 MDX owner who's lost or forgotten his or her HandsFreeLink (HFL) passcode? You need to clear the old passcode with the HDS before he or she can add a new one. There's just one small hitch, though: '05 MDXs can't talk with the HFL; they don't have B-CAN.

To get the job done, you've got to pull the HFL unit out of your client's vehicle, remove the HFL unit from an '05-06 RL, '04-06 TL, or '06 TSX, and install your client's unit. Once you've done that, connect the HDS to the 16P data link connector (DLC). From the System Selection Menu, select Body Electrical, Hands Free Link, Inspection, and then Passcode Clear. Follow the prompts.

The HDS clears only the passcode. All phone entries and paired phones stay in the system. When you're done, disconnect the HDS and reinstall the HFL units.
