FAQQuestions about the TL manual
Which TL years does this manual cover?
Every year from 1995 to 2014 — 20 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.
Is this the OEM Acura TL manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Acura published for the TL, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.
Does it include TL wiring diagrams?
Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every TL manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.
Does the manual cover TL recalls?
52 recalls are on federal record across the 1995–2014 TL, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Acura dealers.
Why do some TL years cost more?
Pricing follows the manual: 1995–2012 at $29.99, 2013–2014 at $49.99. Newer model years have substantially larger manuals with more systems, control modules and diagrams.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.
How do I get the manual after purchase?
It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
