Exclamation 2005 Acura RL VSA light and TPMS Sensor issue

I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out this problem. When I start my car up, just the triangle with the “!” is present and nothing else.
When I get on the highway as soon as the car hits 25 mph, the vsa light then engages. As soon as that happens the car starts riding crappy and I mean like no bushing crappy no matter what speed you are then going. If u drive it over 45mph then the TPMS system light will come on and then when you go to check the tire pressure on the gauge bezel, is says “system function error.” I have had all the tire checked and they are all normal psi range, 33-35psi. Soooo.... I check suspension, steering and everything connected with it like sway bars and sway bar link. Rack and pinion is excellent. New ball joints, axles and outer tie rods. All clear but I have no idea what else it could be??? Maybe some sort of sensor of fuse??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Get the VSA code scanned. More than likely need a wheel speed sensor.

Try this..... https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-...-light-778471/

Trust me, I had the same issue and I did this and it worked like a charm. It took me three times before I could get it right. I thought my VSA position sensors were bad and I even bought them thinking that would fix the problem. But what actually needed to happen was to reset the sensors and that thread explains step by step how to do it. Hope it works for you. Let me know.
