ABS and VSA Light On?
#42
Sorry to bring up this old thread, but finally had some good news with this car! The Acura dealer in Wilmington and a private shop could not correct the problem with my ABS and VSA lights. They went out for a few months so I did not worry about it. So of course they came back on about six weeks ago. I have moved to Durham, NC to attend graduate school at Duke University. I took a chance on N-Tune Automotive which is near my home. They figured it out, it was a loose ground wire! We will see how it goes from here.

I don't know what processes he used to troubleshoot, but he said it was not typical to get so many warning lights with just a pump, computer, etc. out. Your mechanic might give them a call at N-Tune Automotive in Durham, NC, he might be able to at least lead him in the right direction. No lights since Matt worked on it. The only problem is that it seems woefully underpowered for 260 HP, but at least it runs with no other problems.

i know for a fact vsa and abs don't work cause it snowed last month and my car would skid under hard braking and wheel spin in wot.
can u provide a contact number for matt at n-tune? im in jerz by the way. i would like to ask how he figured it out.
did ur car always felt underpowerd? u may need a tune up.
i also heard when acura changed trannies under warranty they also swapped ecu's claiming the programming was to agressive for the tranny to handle.
they done the recall on my car as well way before i purchased it. they added the tranny jetkit.

when my trans went the ! light and the CEL went on.. and trans was shifting bad so I was expecting it. I doubt it's ur trans... unless there is a physical problem with the driveability then i'd say check the trans off the list and look in to abs sensor, the abs modulator, or the VSA unit etc.
when lights are on will abs engage???
if not. I'd put my money on a brake related problem. Cause VSA uses the ABS system to work.
If the brakes do work then I'd say the VSA unit.
But I don't see why the abs light would be on if was just the VSA .

Had this problem for a couple months. Took the car in, had the codes read. Rear passenger speed sensor. I got the part and replaced it today. ABS and VSA light are gone. However the traction triangle light remains. Anyway to manually reset this without using a code reader?
