New 2005 Acura RL owner

Hey all I would like to introduce myself and my car. I'm 28 from North Dakota and bought a 2005 Acura RL. The car unfortunately has a salvaged title from being rear ended. It has 126,000 miles and it's being used as my DD. It's got a few problems like the vsa light and tpms error but other then that a very nice car. I'm excited to start doing some research and learning more about our cars. I also have a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 that I have a few mods on to get around 310 to 320 awhp on e85.

As for those errors, have you got them scanned?

Chances are it's a TPMS issue, which also throws a VSA light

Haha I will get some pics of the speed up when I get down to my shop, I keep her warm in the winters. Thanks for the welcomes and i tried hooking my scanner up this morning but doesn't show any dtc's, however in the vehicle diagnostics center going through the nav screen it shows the problem.

Welcome to the club. I had a pearl white/tan car that I loved but eventually wanted more power and replaced her. Still brings a smile to face when I see one on the road.

I wouldn't worry about the salvage title part, assuming the car was repaired well and you bought it right you should be just fine.

I'd start with the TPMS issue first. I know when I would put my winter tires on I would get an error.... it wasn't seeing one of the wheels/tires/sensors but after driving it for a few days it sorted itself out. If you display the tire pressures does it read all four tires? If not, is it limited to one wheel? Are there TPMS sensors in the wheels? Anyway, determine which tire(s) is giving the error and replace that sensor. That should clear up the TPMS issue and hopefully the VSA issue as well.
