The owner of this 2010 Acura MDX has been waiting for a month for me to make the trip and diagnose his unpredictable 2010 Acura MDX that intermittently refuses to fire up.
The green “Immobilizer” key blinks on the dash when the car is acting up, setting a mysterious “D-2” fault in memory.
This was a tough diagnosis due to the intermittent nature of the problem.
You will NEVER guess what the problem is!

Nice. I feel bad for this poor guy. These things shouldn't happen. Proves that Information is key to everything. Great job as usual Ivan!
Does Keith have a youtube channel?
My Mechanic put 3 AC Delco fuel pumps in my 2000 S10.Still not holding pressure.Work good for about 4 or 5 cranks.Then long cranks.What can be causing it to lose pressure.Wished you can come and fix mine.
OMG, the Keith guy is clutch, I mean talk about random facts and remembering odd cases, that's nuts!!!
It's good to (know) the King of Diag. 😀
Thank you Ivan. We just bought a 2012 MDX.
Wow, that was a tough one !
good job . nice work thank you
Overpriced Honda Junk.
No you would not have figured it out Way over your head
there is a saying,"good people know good people" and nothing could be truer than when troubleshooting an issue. You are NEVER the first person to have an issue
I’m in the electronics field and have been using Deoxit D5 for 30 years! Great stuff.
Nice to phone a Guru when you need it…..Give him a 9 volt for the chirping smoke alarm Damn….Nice one Ivan.
My hunch from scope data was partial short to power but was thinking it likely harness in column area .
Keith saved the day and potentially some dollars for the customer, that a sucky fault but if you went into that kicker panel you probably sussed it unless already called a module and not double checking the call .
That poor guy blew some serious dollar but he took it like a champ. I not spent 4K in repair and service of my old 2000 sf forester in more than 12 years of owning it lol .
nice video thanks
I have always asked the customer about water issues starting right now.
That Kieth is a walking Talking Silver Bullet!
Ivan: there are times , where a quick call to a “smart “ colleague odviously is priceless ! In this case it worked! Kinda , a Hail Mary ! Nothing ventured , nothing lost ! Good call,,,no pun intended ! LOL
