Lighting - No Headlight Auto-Off Time Delay

No 60-Second Headlight Auto-Off Time Delay

The headlight auto-off timer in a 06 TSX lets you select a time delay of 0, 15, 30, or 60 seconds. The headlights, parking lights, taillights, and license plate lights all turn off afier the selected time when you pull the key from the ignition switch and close the driver's door. Although the MID and the 0/M indicate you can select a time delay of 60 seconds, you really can't. The 60-second time delay always defaults to 15 seconds. That's because the 60-second timer isn't programmed into the relay control module. The MICU, the gauge control module, and the relay control module are all part of the headlight auto-off timer.
