Is this normal maintenance? Console all lit up

Hey guys,

My engine is at 143k on a 2001 acura cls. Over the last several weeks, a lot of my lights came on .... I'm not sure if this is normal maintenance thing or if this is something I need to have checked out.

All of these lights are on:
-Maintenance required
-VSA (both the ! sign and "VSA" are on) - I can't turn it off by pressing the VSA button
-ABS
-airbag light

This is sorta trippy. Is this normal for CL's or is something haywire with my ECU?

Thanks home boys

Something is most certainly wrong there. How's your battery, cables & ground connections?
Does you car drive ok? Could be the tranny is toast, or could just be a bad sensor.
Need more detail. Any codes? Most auto store will check them for free.
Has the timing belt been changed? Any other problems that came up in the past?

If it is the trans, yes, normal maintenance on Acura CLs.
