03 MDX VTM-4, VSA, CEL on after radiator replacement

Guys,

The radiator on my 03 MDX failed the other day. It's the famous trans cooler adapter and emptied the tranny fluid. I managed to drive the car back home.

After I replaced the radiator, my instument panel is like x'mas time. CEL, VTM-4, VSA, and VSA Activation Warning lights all came on. Car still drives fine though.

Anyone can give me an idea what could cause this? Thanks.

Report back that the problem is solved.

It's the VTEC Rocker Arm Oil switch connector. I pulled it off when draining the coolant from the engine block and forgot to plug it back in. Once I plugged it back in, all codes are gone immediately.

It's still unbelievable that one connector causes so many error codes.
