SRS, TCS and ABS Light ON?? dealerships response....
Well my srs, abs, and tcs light are on currently....
"ABS and srs light is one because vehicle had lower aftermarket springs causing a wheel sensor to be broken. Even if we replace P (??) sensor--sensor will brake again do to springs"
EXACT QUOTE...WTF
Well i miss the 05 TL i had a loaner and they replaced the tranny and the PCM (what is that)?
but now i need to solve this fuckin problem....its wierd when i brake because when i lightly brake and brake HARD everything is fine...BUT when i brake normal the steering wheel is shaking so BAD....FUCKIN HATE IT...where can i take it any solution?
And what is this wheel sensor that the dealership is talkin about?????

A speed sensor, which if broken, renders ABS and TCS useless - that's why the light comes on and the systems are shut off. The SRS light means your airbags won't deploy and your seatbelt pretensioners won't work. In other words, your car just lost all its safety technology. I'd get all this fixed ASAP. If your modifications damaged a sensor, then remove the modification.
And braking normally with bad vibration means your rotors are warped.
Edit: I'm sure you meant that the ABS and TCS lights are on because of springs. The SRS light has no tie to that stuff.

And PCM stands for Powertrain Control Module, a.k.a. ECU.

the speed sensor is usually located on each wheel, or sometimes just one. they vary but if you take the rim off, and look, you should see like a gear on the spindle with a metal looking thing perpindicular to it and thats the pickup, they are magnetic. now, i am giving you the generic version, acura may be different, i ddin't pay much attention to it this weekend when i did my brakes. for this to be damaged by your car being lowered would probably mean you pinched the line somewhere, so maybe your shocks and your speed sensor lines are too close and need to be relocated. i don't think you actually are damaging the actual senor unless you really fubared that install. check the lines and the shocks and see if anything rubs.

There is no way lowering it would damage it unless like RickRousch said, durring install of the springs somehow it got damaged or the wire got pinched or something. Id bring it back to the dealer and tell them they are full of crap and to prove that the springs are the reason it went bad. The springs arent any where near that sensor.

I had another question, is there anyway that the lines could ahve been stretched by any chance?

How did it get riped is the question. Who installed the springs? Its possible that the damage happened at that time. You may beable to resoldier the wire and heat shrink the wire to keep it safe and protected from the elements? not sure without seeing the wire. You may have to replace it?

Put it on ramps and look for torn wire on back of backing plates, could have overextended the wires abilty to stretch
"Mechanic" hung caliper from wire instead of using a wire coat hanger, and sensor wire broke. Thats happened to me
Get one from dealer about 35 was the rumor on similar post last week

and, unless i'm doing something wrong, the unit returns PASS: NO CODES RETURNED.
So, how do I reset this TCS and ABS light?
Side note: went to the dealer and they said my extended warranty has EXPIRED (wtf!) so I'll have to call HOA Customer Service on Monday
