I just picked up my second Acura RL. Boy it's a great car i'll keep for awhile. The AVS light to the right of the Exclamation triangle, also the Check AVS system that comes on in the center over 30 MPH. They reset every time the car sits for an hour. Same with the Check airbag system in the center and red airbag light on the bottom right. Could someone help me? From my knowledge this car has never been hit. Also has 160k

AVS or AFS? Could just need a new battery.

 

Avs

 

Your alternator is going bad. I just had the same issue.

 

Had the same thing happened to my buddy's RL. He changed the alternator and battery and all was well. I would recommend changing the battery out first since you don't know the history of it.

 

What is AVS?

 

Sorry the light is "VSA" Variable speed assist i'm told.

 

Vehicle Stability Assist. You might have a faulty air bag sensor or SRS unit. If the vehicle thinks a safety system isn't functioning, like TPMS, it will force VSA on.

I would get the charging system checked.

 

I did they said it was holding a steady 13.7 volts?

 

If you go in to the menu on the screen, it should tell you the code... for example "Vehicle Stability Assist: 84"


what is that #?

 

The numbers are 112, And 83 for the VSA system. The passenger airbag had a message also saying it has been disabled

 

I'm not sure about the numbers, but the air bag message just means someone or something was in the seat that wasn't heavy enough to make the air bag go off. If you delete that, it should go away. This comes on if I put groceries or something heavy up front...

 

I still haven't been able to get this fixed!

 

what's avs for acura 2005RL

 

There's no avs.

It's VSA.
