check engine light / maint. required light

i have a 2001 acura cl with 56,000 miles and the maintanence light turns on and blinks a couple of times after i start my engine, then turns off.

now the check engine light is constantly on and during driving the VSA and traction control light turn on...

anyone know what's wrong?

i checked all fluid levels and my oil was changed recently..

thanks in advance

same answer that everyone else gets...goto autozone or pepboys or what ever and have the code read for free...the data port is below the not an ashtray thing...between the seat heater buttons...until we know the code we cant tell you anything

Maintanence light usually comes on when an oil change is needed, I can't remember how to reset off the top of my head but you can find that in the owners manual. As for the other lights, what typeR said.
