VSA Light Came on and does'nt respond to VSA Switch

Hey whats up guys, my VSA Light and the "VSA trinagle sysmbol" just came on my 04 tsx, it doesnt turn off when I press the VSA Button, and its been on for about 2 weeks now. I even changed the VSA Switch, but it still stayed on, atleast I know its not the switch. Car still runs fine. Has anyone here had this problem, and how can I fix it.

Quite possibly its a faulty brake switch. You might not have brake lights right now, either. Its cheap (around $10) and easy to replace yourself. It's located high on the brake pedal linkage and just has a 1/4 turn plastic retaining nut thing holding it in, and a small electrical pop-off connector. You likely have to remove the lower dash cover (near your shins, right in front of the pedals above your feet) but thats only a few phillips screws and a few pop clips. No problem.

I had my brake fluid changed at the dealership a few weeks ago (along with the coolant and the manual transmission fluid). A day later, both of the VSA lights were on -- the one that says VSA and the exclamation point-in-the-triangle symbol. (The brake warning light was on, too.) When I checked under the hood, the brake fluid was low in the reservoir. I added brake fluid up to the Max line and all three of the lights went out and have been off ever since. When I reported what had happened to the dealer's service manager, he confirmed the obvious: low brake fluid can cause the VSA lights to illuminate. (This is because of the relationship between the VSA and brake systems, natch.) I'd say checking your brake fluid level would be worth doing.
