VSA, BRAKE, CEL, car won't run???

I am new here, don't know if this is a forum or not... My 06 tl has 224k on it. Nothing has happened or been wrong in the past, only code my car is showing when scanned is a tranny temp sensor, and o2 sensor. Randomly the other day I was driving down the road and my battery light and air bag light came on, I pulled over, shut it off, tried to restart it. It wouldn't turn over, I took out key waited a few and tried again and it started up fine and even cleared engine light. I proceeded to drive down the road, 5 blocks later, my brake light, battery light, air bag light, abs, and vsa light came on and it acted like it wouldn't go. It barely accelerated. I have been without my car for over a week and it is becoming annoying, anyone have any ideas? Thank you..

Have you checked your positive battery cable for corrosion also sounds like the app sensor may be a culprit here

I've seen that a couple places, I looked into APP failure and it doesn't sound like it would be that but a lot of the forums I saw said they replaced theirs and it was fine. I had an issue with the terminals over the summer and replaced them.

Make sure the corrosion didn't spread into the cables. May need to just replace the whole cable altogether

Thanks, I'll try that first. Just with my luck, was assuming it will be more. Lol

Better this than ecu failure or something

I agree, had that issue in my integra. I'll check battery first then look into that APP? Is there any other sensor that would do this?

It could also be your alternator going bad or the tensioner not giving it enough tension , or the belt

My friend has a nice scanner that said the alternator was fine, because the alternator was my first thought.

What scanner told you the alternator was fine.? your car has 11 years on it, if it's on its original alternator.. It could be suspect. Hell I don't even trust the bench testers at autozone/oreilly because I've brought starters, alternators, and batteries in there to test and they too said "it's fine". yet I replace the failed component and the problem is fixed...

In other words, take it with a grain of salt.

It was one of those fancy snap on ones, lol. I assumed alternator at first, not to mention that it charged all over night and was already draining the battery the next morning if I remember correctly.

Okay so sounds like you may have a two-pronged issue. You may have a parasitic draw from (likely) the HFL: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...nk-fix-900427/ Remov eit.

How old is your battery? May need replacing.

That sounds very confusing to do. I'll have to check when I go look at my car. Of course it waits till I buy ALL new suspension parts...

Don't fix it, just use the video to actually remove it altogether.

We all gotta start somewhere Our 3G subforum is a cornucopia of information. Anything and everything you want/need/ didn't think you needed to know is in there.

if you run into any further issues in the future jump onto google and type in the issue and add "site:acurazine.com" to the end and you'll search only posts on this site. You'll definitely find the answer to your problem that way
