Diagnose 2010 Acura TL with newest Honda HDS

Nothing is more frustrating than getting in your vehicle to take a ride and discovering it can not be operated. My 2010 Honda Acura TL broke down last night when I was about to tour around the city with my girlfriend.
The Check Engine light on my dashboard turned on without any sign. Even though I have never planned to work on the car myself, when that Check Engine light came on, it could be a serious problem with my Acura. I was feared if I drove it to the nearest car repair shop to get the error codes red, it could cause damage to my engine or other Honda HDS.
Usually it was not that serious, but I preferred not  to take the risk. There was a car washing shop about 500 meters from my home. I rushed to the shop and asked if they had any Honda HDS that could work with my vehicle. The shop owner told me they just had some new arrivals and one of them was able to read and clear error codes with Acura.
The device was named Honda HDS. Well, as a Acura owner, it was almost impossible not to have heard about the tool. At first, I was worried whether I could handle the tool or not since I had never used one before. The shop owner jokingly said, diagnosing a vehicle problem is not a matter of fixing it or not, it was basically having access to a handy tool, and Honda HDS was the one. So I followed his advice and bought one.
The software of this Honda diagnostic tool I bought was the newest V3.002.032 version. The tool is quite easy to use. After entering the VIN number and fill other blanks with my vehicle information, the device started to troubleshoot problem. My car rebooted after I erased the error codes.

Another thing I love about this Honda HDS is that it has listed a System Selection Menu clearly. By using the menu, I can not only find out the Check Engine light problem, but also some potential problems in other systems. It is very user-friendly.
