VSA and /!\ lights on - I got codes too, please help

Hi everyone, it would be great if someone could help me out here. I'm getting both lights on after my car was towed. Its kinda embarrassing but my wife took my car keys and left me at home with spare keys that apparently didn't work (couldn't find my good spare keys). I attempted to turn the car on and the keys did not work. I towed it to the nearest auto shop and they confirmed these keys were not for this car even though they opened the doors, etc. I then got my good keys and was on my way...

Today, I took it in to a auto shop to read the codes and they managed to pull 25-1, 64-1, 83-1. Any idea what this means? I appreciate any input on these ... tried to search the forum with these codes but had no luck. Thanks!

are those brake codes?
normal codes have letter number like P035
use google to search them

I would suspect damage to a wheel speed sensor wire during towing-tiedown

From: Baja, México.
Those codes are ABS Related
Probably a Damaged ABS Sensor when they Towed.

are we talking about the same part? a wheel speed sensor ~50$?

I know you can damage a wire doing a brake job wrong,,
the wire is small and vulnerable

Start with a visual inspection of each wheel
Test the ABS, at 35-45mph on slippery surface, and stand on brakes- what does it do?
work at all?, one wheel locks,,

Thank you everyone for your input, I did a quick search online and I got the below explanations on each code. The guy that pulled these felt pretty confident they were accurate Acura codes since they had the program for it.

25-1 Yaw rate sensor failure
64-1 Sensor supply voltage failure
83-1 ECM/PCM relation installation

I actually need new tires and took my car into the shop today - I'll report back, thanks!

Ok just got back the lights are still on and the Mechanic didn't find anything. I'm just gonna try to drive it for awhile and see if the lights turn off. Thanks again everyone and please feel free to drop any additional suggestions.

pull the CLOCK fuse on passenger end of dash to reset the ECU and clear codes

those things have not failed- its false or misleading codes at the least

did you guy ck the speed sensor wires?
tow hook can snag one and tear it loose inside connector!

Pulled the fuse but it didn't reset. Is the reset instant? Lights are still on but maybe I need to drive more on it?

I dont know if the speed sensor wires have been checked. My mechanic didn't say anything about those. I think I may just take it into an Acura dealer and see what the problem is. I was just really trying to not pay the $117 diagnose fee. Thanks!

dont go to acura yet
look up a brake specialty shop in phone book,,,
they can fix it for what acura wants just to guess whats wrong!
then charge more to fix it! what a scam

ask your mechanic was was chd--speed sensor wires or not--wtf did he actually do?
vehicle was towed--there are certain areas to look for damage from that

the clock fuse resets ECU for all engine functions- may not clear ABS codes
Possible the brake shop needs to use special ABS code scanner to reset after fix
most regular scanners wont give up real ABS codes

Good suggestion, I'll call around and see if someone else can see my car. Thanks.
