VSA light turns on periodically?

for over a year every so often my VSA light will come on along with the /!\ icon on the dash ... it seems to happen when theres bad weather (rain, or about to rain), but im pretty sure it can happen in nice weather as well.

anyway, ive had it checked out by a mechanic, and everytime i take my car to acura i have them look it over for any problems. nobody seems to see anything wrong. One time i took it there a while ago when the light actually stayed on and they said it could be the sub throttle body (i believe).

however, since the mechanics have found nothing wrong. the lights turning on was dormant for a while, but alas came back the past few times ive driven the car. im sure when i get back in it tonight though it will be off because thats just how random it is.

my question is, could this just be a faulty sensor or something that i shouldnt worry about, or is there a problem i should look out for?

i thought if something was wrong the lights would consistently be on until i either reset the code or fixed the problem. any help would be awesome. thanks guys.

btw its an 02 tl-s

If there is no code and it works its VERY hard to determine whats wrong. Next time the light is on bring it to the dealer (leave the car on) and have them read the codes. Tell them its very intermittent and its on and you want it read because when you shut it off it goes away. It could be any thing from a wheel speed sensor to the computer and every thing in between.
