VSA & ABS light DTC code reading & speed sensor part #'s?

Car: 2005 TSX 6MT w/Nav

I've been searching for a couple hours now and haven't found all the answers I need, so I figured I'd post it up here.

Early last week I noticed that the VSA, ABS and BRAKE lights all came on one day while driving. I pulled over, shut the car off, turned it back on and they were off. Then on Friday they all came on for good. Last night on my way how the /!\ jumped in on the party.

I jumpered pins 4 & 9 on the OBD connector and recorded a video --
link: dmbfan36_23 2005 TSX DTC code video (49 seconds)

From the video it looks like I have:
Check engine: 12-6 (old code)
ABS: 8-3 (old code), 8-6 (old code), 11-2 (NEW code)

A month ago I replaced the driver side seat belt buckle to clear the SRS light. I noticed the codes designated above as "old code" at that time, I figure they're unrelated to this issue.

The new code is 4 fast blinks (which I understand to be 10) plus 1 more slow blink and then 2 more fast blinks. Is this code 11-2 or 112? I see in the service manual (link: 1st Gen Acura TSX - VSA service manual (pdf)) that code 11 is an open right front wheels speed sensor. 112 is "Internal Power Source Stuck OFF". There doesn't appear to be an "11-2" anywhere, so I'm wondering if it's really 112?

Next question... I can't seem to find the part numbers for the wheel speed sensors. I checked http://www.acuraoemparts.com & http://acura.bernardiparts.com. Anyone know the part numbers?

Thanks, in advance...

Update: This morning I got in the car and drove 25 miles to work... the lights stayed off the entire time. I even switched VSA off a couple times and the /!\ went on as expected.

The G203 grounding bolt is rusted, not sure if that's the culprit (which could cause the 112 error based upon a Honda service bulletin I found for 03-07 Accords - see attached PDF). Or perhaps it's a dirty/failing wheel speed sensor. I'm guessing/hoping that the VSA module itself is fine... a $2K repair job would suck.

I can't help you much but I have a 2005 honda pilot and have been trying to find out what ABS error code 83 is. Perhaps you know since you stated you got this code, granted it is not a pilot. I have VSA light on after bearings were replaced in car and shop doesn't want to admit to causing it. Thanks
