I disconected the battery to do some interior mods... and when I reconnected it my VSA light was on and also m check engine light. My check engine light is on because I need to replace my TPS sensor but why the hell would my VSA light be turned on all of a sudden? anything bad I should worry about or any clue on what it may be and how to fix it. Also Should I buy a TPS sensor and replace it myself as aposed to bringing it to the dealer? The voltage is just reading low. Thanks for the help.

VSA light might just be an old code saved in the computer. Did you ever have the OPDS replaced in the seats? There's a good writeup on how to reset it using paper clips, but I don't have the link.

no I never reset the OPDS Replaced. Ill do a search for that. what about the TPS sensor? any suggestions?

No I never replaced the OPDS in the seats. Ill search how to reset. What about the TPS sensor.. Worth doing my self? I took the airbag out, can that have anything to do with it.

If the OPDS was never replaced, I'd suggest taking the car into a dealer and getting SRS code checked out. If it is in fact the OPDS, it's covered under waranty. Either way, it's $80 to check the code, and you'll have the peace of mind of knowing the what the problem was.

Why did you remove your airbags?

When I saw the VSA light on my CL come on, it was followed by a violent downshift from 5th to 2nd. And a trip in to the dealer for a new tranny once the VSA was on and the CEL was on.

I removed the airbag on the steering wheel becasue I was getting it wrapped in new leather. In order to make it look right the airbag needed to come off in order to make the leather reach throught the cracks between the airbag and the actual wheel.

My throttle body sensor is reading low voltage. The dealer wants to change it for 300 installed... waaaaay to much. were can I find one and do it myself?

$80 to check a code!?

You can buy a scan tool for that!

The VSA light can come on during all sorts of trouble codes. I have no clue why but it happens frequently. My primary O2 sensor went bad and the CEL, VSA, and ! lights were all on.

The helms will show you how to replace the TPS

Bobbydoedoe

or local auto stores like pepboys or autozone where they will lend you the tool for free

Thanks steve. I just needed to knoe where to buy one.. the install is the easy part. I alrady had it scanned and the only problem was the TPS sensor was reading low voltage.

A regular OBD-II scanner won't give you info on the SRS light. Possibly the more expensive ones. Autopart stores can't check SRS lights.

You're the only one to mention an SRS light. He said his VSA light was on.
