wut up peoples. i gotta quick question .............. i was driving the other day and i heard this song i really like so i turn it up and i was sitting at the stop light and then suddenly my "VSA" light came on as well as the Triangle light and they stayed on so i drove up to taco bell and stopped and turned the car off and then started it again then the light went off>????? i dont understand what the hell it was . i drove off again and then they came on again and then i did the same. turned the car off and then back on and then i never saw the light come on again. can someone tell me what the hell that meant cause i am clueless and i dont understand. some one help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

happened to me once. dunno hasnt happened since. oh wait when my tranny died it came on

 

did u accidently press the vsa button?
cause if u didnt another way it goes on is if u lose traction
i think...

 

Could be a problem with the VSA system or thousands of other things. The VSA and "!" lights come on at times when the ECU throws a DTC.

 

This happened to my wife recently while she used my car (I was away on a trip). Both the VSA and the ! lights came on. She pulled over and called me. I figured crap, the trans is gone and asked her if D5 was flashing. She said no. Had her turn off the car and restart it, they came on again. I had her push the OnStar button and have the car towed (yeah OnStar). The dealership said the gas cap (she put gas in the car) wasn't tight. To my knowledge I thought only the Check Engine light would come on if the gas cap wasn't tight. The dealership reset everything and it hasn't happened since.

 

The VSA and ! lights will go off when something related to the emissions system (including the gas cap) is malfunctioning.

 

That's bizzare. Isn't that what the "check engine" light is there for? I guess every ECU and car company is different, but that makes no sense to me why the VSA light would go on for a gas cap - they are completely unrelated.

 

i guess acura put a lot of thought and planning into what should trigger their warning lights..... ......


i agree.....that would throw me off completely...

 

Who knows some days....

 

It happened to me too. I took it to the dealer and they said , there was a bad steering wheel sensor. they changed it and that took care of the problem FOR 4MONTHS !! the light came on again yesterday . SO i guess is back to the dealer

 

typically the check engine light goes on with those lights. i dont know why it didnt

 

so nothing under this catagory falls under the warranty? oh well i have an appointment for friday. so i am kinda pissed off cause i dont feel like paying for anything else to be done to my car

 

??? it depends why the light is on. it may if you aer still under warranty. i think the egr is covered till 80k? not positive on that. ive had issues with that twice. the only way to know what it is is to bring it some where to have it tested. places like autozone will test for free. have it tested then come back with the code

 

i had my egr replaced and fixed just last month. guess what? the TCS and engine lights came back on, bought it back and it read, "insuffient flow - EGR". why is it that once the fuckin dealers touch my car, im back there within a month? guess imma be driving the tsx around again..

 

guess what guys on top of that my tranny is actin up AGAIN this will be my second tranny and i am not taking a fukin enterprise rental again i want a acura rental this time. and i need to find out cause my mileage is over 50k its like 56k or something like that so i dont have the basic anymore. but i appreciate all the quick replys and helping out of you knowledgable fellas. cause this was ridiculous.

 

odds are they didnt take the intake off and clean it then
