I was perusing one of my CL brochures the other night
and realized the CL-S dash showed a "VSA OFF" on the
dash above the cruise control button BUT mine
has a "TCS" button.

Any other '02 owners out there with this ??

What's the story here ?

Cost saving measure by Acura?

or did they just run out of "VSA OFF" buttons the day mine
was built ?????

 

I guess that was the case if you have a CLS. I would say go the dealer and get a new button with "VSA OFF".

 

yah.u need to go back to dealer and have them exchange for u..i notice that u are having a cls too..not clp or tlp

 

Well I just got back from the houston autoshow & there was a red '03 CL-S 5spd & it had the "VSA OFF" button.
hmmm... I hope it's just the damn button!

Any other why to confirm I've got VSA ?

A fuse or somthing ????

Also this red '03 CL-S auto, it had the 2 stage seat heaters.

I guess just the 6spd looses thoose.

 

did you attend a meet and have a CLP owner swap it from you?

!

 

there's a manifold and accumulator under the hood you could look for, but I'm not certain it'd be easy to distinguish from the abs unit in the cl-p.

I assume your dash has the metallic-face gauges with a vsa indicator (as opposed to the tcs indicator on the black-face gauges for the non-type s)?

 

Yeah! I just was a little annoyed when I noticed the button.

 

LMAO!

 

check your redline 6200 or 6900

 

If i remember correctly,

CLS has a different power inverter because it needs more amps to handle VSA than TCS in a CLP.

so maybe some electrical parts could have different model #s and handling specs. written on the parts.

 

Why don't you just floor the car at a stop and see if the vsa kicks in and controls the throttle, or go to a empty parkinglot when its wet outside.
