HELP!!!!!! 2009 Acura tsx VSA LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POWER STEERING LIGHT

Hey guys so it's been 3 weeks I've been trying to figure out what's going on with my 2009 Acura tsx. My vsa check engine power steering and air bag light is on and also abs and tpms. The gauges don't work in the cluster ethier the only thing that works is the gas gauge the rpm speed and heat do not. Trunk does not open car lock button does not work and front inside lights do not turn on ethier. Try to plug 3 different types of obd scanners all read linking error so I'm not able to pull up the codes. I'm going crazy help please. Car was wrecked on pessenger side I replace the fender and side veiw mirror

yikes, sounds like you bought a fucked up car.
with the limited amount of info you gave, the only thing i can think of is...look at the fuses. check to make sure all fuses are intact.

A low voltage can cause all those lights you spoke of to come on. What would cause a low voltage? 90% of the time, a bad battery. How old is the battery in your vehicle? Probably best to stop by an Auto Zone or Advance Auto parts and get a FREE charging system test.

Check the fuses with a meter, not your eyes, once you get past the battery check.

Are you sure the battery terminals are squeaky clean - on both ends?

No, not really. If the wire was hot and shorted, it would blow the fuse. Not much else.

Sometimes, there comes a time when our car is beyond our ability to repair and we have to grit our teeth and return back to the dealer. Trying to do an arm chair diagnosis with your car, does not always work. We all try to do the best we can, but there is only so much being thousands of miles away. Let us know what happens.

First problem is no comms w/ PCM. Unless you are up for DIY, you need pro help w/ expertise in comms issues; grounds, power, and wiring.

good luck
