Error Codes on Dash

I have a 9 yr old 2009 Acura TSX with 96,700 miles.I have been the sole owner.

Just yesterday, I start my car and I have my Dash lights up.

I have a CHECK EMISSIONS LIGHT on.
I have a CHECK VSA LIGHT on with TRIANGLE.

So I get the codes scanned to see what errors pop up.

83-1 Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Relation Malfunction

62-1 Battery High Voltage (I just replaced my 2 year old battery the day before with a brand new one???)

61-1 Battery Voltage Malfunction (again I have a brand new battery)

P0341 - Camshaft Position Sensor A, Circuit Range Performance, B1

Any advice before i head to Acura Dealership? During my last oil change in Feb, I was told my Timing Belt was Stretched. I believe that is related to the P0341 code.

(PS. I am currently going through my 1000 mile oil consumption test for the Piston Ring TSB/Burning Oil Issue...I have driven 400 miles left to go before they will determine any repairs, Not sure if this is related.)

Thanks in advance.

Undo the battery for 15 minutes , put it back in and drive around to see if the codes come back. Sometimes it's just a fluke.

^ An alternative option is to disconnect the battery, touch the car's + and - wires for a few seconds - then wait 3 minutes (or 15 minutes - your choice)...

@MrTee12 - did you found what was the problem?

I got similar issues today, on my 2009 TSX.
In addition to EMISSIONS and VSA lights, engine cranks for about 5 sec before it starts and after about 30 sec I get WATER TEMP HOT.
It's all in idle mode and I engine cooling fan stays still

I took my car back after my 2nd 1,000 mile oil consumption test. They said that everything looked normal and the oil was exactly where it should be. My car oil level was at 60%.

I spoke to a Service Advisor about my issues. I will be making another appointment soon to have these issues checked further. I will keep you updated.

I my case I went to dealer and was told that an animal has chewed engine wire harness, requiring replacement of entire engine wire harness. Cost $1018 parts + $632 labor(4 hours)

buy, borrow, or pay someone to use their bi-directional scan tool.

the scan tool will tell you if there is anything going wrong with the ECM/PCM/BCM/DTC errors.

if this means taking it to the dealer, so be it...because then you will know what exactly is going on...only a bi-directional scan tool can figure this out

^that's the thing tho....

the scan tool will tell you exactly what is broken.

if the ECM is broken and needs replacing, the scan tool will tell you.
so, there's no guessing or home remedies involved.
