ABS, VSA, VSA-OFF lights all turned on and stayed on...

as I was driving to work this morning... I'd washed the car last night but then I'd taken it out for an errand, and hadn't seen the lights on then... but they turned on this morning, and after I parked, I restarted the engine but the lights stayed on... There was no noticeable degradation in performance in either acceleration or braking, and I know what VSA feels like and it didn't feel like that was on either, so I'm quite confused.

I called Acura and it looks like I'll have to take it in and they'll give me a loaner car or something? Damn, that's such a hassle... Anyone have any experience with this? Maybe one of the dealers have run into this problem before...

Somebody did have the VSA light on constantly. I believe it was a faulty plug on one of the hubs of the wheels.

I learned that if the wheels aren't under load (like up on jack stands) that you can't rev the engine.

Did you by chance use a lot of cleaner or a high-pressure hose on the wheels? If you somehow got water in the wheel sensors, that could easily explain this issue.

I didn't even clean the wheels cause it was just a quick rinse... but all three lights are on, and I do suspect something to do with the sensors...
