hey i have a 2001 acura rl and i pushed the vsa off button the button located next to the main cruise controlbutton and when i pushed it nothing happend the button didnt evenlock in or anything after i searched underneath the steering wheel where all thewires are andfound one mysterious green tip adapter wire not connected. so i searched for something that isnt connected but noluck so do you guys think that my vsa isnt hooked up and thats the wire? or where the wire is located to attach to the green one? Any Insight on the VSA will help thank you.

 

The button doesnt click in/out as far as I know. Does the VSA light go on in the instrument panel?

 

Yes the Vsa lightdoes comeon theintrumentpaneldo youguys a have awire under your car that is not connected

 

Honda/Acura car have some extra harnesses for additional features that have not been connected yet. Maybe a feature that a different region Acuras have like daytime running lights for example. Does the green harness have blue tape around it? If so, it was intentionally disconnected.

 

no unfortuantely it did not man im havinspomany pro blems especially with thebrakelight if the brake light comes oni can get it read to see what the problem uis?

 

Your VSA is working properly, I'm not sure about your wiring harness though.

 

damn it now my car pulls to the left alignment is off i go it aligned and a hour later same problem but im the same guy that needs new shocks and struts could this be causing the problem with the alignment?

 

Yes, you're wasting your money getting alignments if you need new shocks and struts.

 

I have the exact same problem. Took it to the dealer they checked it out and could not clear the code. My VSA light and yellow ! are flash on and off.

Dealer says it maybe a voltage problem causing the light to go off.

 

It is not a voltage problem, those idiots don't know anything. It is a crank angle sensor that goes inside the steering wheel, costs about $360 before tax. I have replaced it 3 times and still doesn't work. they told me even if they replace with a brand new one, they do not guarantee it will work , But i am in the process of doing that just as a last resort. Has already cost me $700 and I'm back to square 1. Any updates will be posted. If anyone gets it solved please email me. Hrach05@yahoo.com

 

Maybe so in your case. But it CAN be a voltage problem

 

Even if it is, shouldn't they have found that when they diagnosed it ?

 

When the dealer mentioned to me that it could be a voltage problem I then asked them how long would this take to diagnose/fix. The dealer had no answer for me other than it could take 1 hour or 7. I was not happy with this kind of an answer.

Does anyone here know APROX how long to fix a possible voltage problem.

 

Well I just replaced it again with the part I bought from the dealer, still nothing, the same problem. So I am taking it to my mechanic and see what he can do.
There's really no way to tell how long it will take to find a voltage problem I think. Electrical problems are very hard to find, plus in this case even the dealer does not know if it might even be from that.
