ABS, VSA, Brake, Battery and Airbag lights all on
I've searched high and low as to what the issue might be with all of these lights on at the same time. The closest thing I can find is that a speed sensor may be malfunctioning although the airbag light doesn't seem to be a symptom there. This has been going on for the past couple of weeks.
I can drive 30 miles it seems without any lights popping up but out of the blue the ABS, VSA and brake lights will seem to come on at once. Shortly thereafter the airbag light comes on then the battery. One thing that does seem to be consistent is that when the airbag light comes on the radio system cuts out. At first, I thought there might be a short in my aftermarket Bluetooth device activating all of these lights but even with that unplugged and turned off the lights are still coming on.
I have an appointment with Acura tomorrow to get it looked at but thought I'd check in with some of the experts here in advance. New to the forum here, TYIA for any help.

I should have mentioned in the OP - I actually put a new Interstate battery in last week and it didn't seem to make a difference. Also, I had a new alternator installed last summer when getting the timing belt changed. When I checked both with a multimeter everything seems to be in order and working fine.

This will end up being electrical related, that is all there is to it. Either a bad battery, alternator, or cables/connections. I would focus on your actual cables on your battery to confirm they aren't corroded within the cable jacket itself. Next confirm if your alternator is still charging things correctly. If this is intermittent and comes and goes, this is more than likely a failing cable or connection somewhere.

I am a big fan of Jay Wolfe overall. They have been very good to me over the years. Although for repairs, I have had to negotiate down some of their parts pricing. I had my car towed there a few years back due to a failed battery cable leaving my wife stranded at work. They wanted waaaaay too much for repair and I told them never mind, I will bring some zip-ties and electrical tape and drive it home and fix it myself. Magically their quote came back to reality and I ended up having them do the work instead.
