2002 RL - my vsa light has come on along with the exclamation mark warnning light, Also I hear a sound comming from the front brakes like the VSA is being activated. this is all happenign at very slow speeds.

any help appreciated

 

Sounds like its either an ABS issue or a vehicle speed sensor.

 

Lets hope its the VSS

 

thanks for the replies.

I am going to take my car into the dealer this week. I believe(hope) the ABS is covered under the comprehensive warranty - which is 5yrs or 100,000km - I'm currently at 50,000km.

 

tech is telling me it could be an electrical problem becuase they cannot clear the codes and they have never seen the Yaw Rate Sensor go bad - it is a $1200 part!!

looking for some help on this - could it be electrical ?

 

Hello,
my 2002 RL has the same damn problem . I replaced the angle sensor 3 times, still nothing, I took it to the dealer, they said yes tha'ts the problem but if they order the part and change it they do not guarantee it will get fixed. That was a shoker, So I ordered the part anyway to replace it myself and save $100 for replacement. By the way that angle sensor is a tiny round part about 3 inches diameter and costs $360. Any way, I guess I wanted to check and see if there's hope before I get the part and replace it.. What is the status on your car. Thanks good luck

 

I have no new news on this with my car. I have learned to live with it although it is not a good feeling when this goes off in traffic. The dealer never mentioned the angle sensor to me just the VSA module which is $1200 and that it may not fix the problem. Did the dealer tell you that it maybe electrical ?

 

No not electrical. I am picking up the new angle sensor from the dealer today to see if it will fix it. I also have been driving it like that for 2 years, its just that I want to sell it so I wanted to get evertying fixed. I have had many acuras, I am just very dissapointed in this one and reading the posts here, it seems the new RLs have the same problem. I will post any update here. thanks.
