First of all I would like to thank anyone who is willing to help me with my fix!


I have an 04 Acura TL 103k.

All 3 lights are on my dashboard, My car still runs normal besides I get horrible gas mileage. I had my battery check out and its great and I added brake fluid, and I changed my brake pads. After all this 3 lights dont budge. I read through the manual and all signs point towards breaking system. I dont want to take to a dealership,theyre a ripoff! Ive read other user forums on this site about the same problem. My tail lights still work everything works its just the 3 lights that seem to pop up everytime I crank the engine.

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!

Take it somewhere to get the codes read. My mechanic replaced my throttle body a few times, and this didn't fix the problem. I then read on these forums about an "app sensor" causing this problem. Mechanic removed and tested that part - it was bad. Replaced with a new one: problem solved.

same thing happen to me, replaced app sensor solved my problem.

^^^^ Did you guy also have the brake light on when the APP sensor went out?

OP, if the car has never gone into limp mode, I'd be guessing VSA and/or brake system issue instead of APP sensor. Worst case scenario=VSA modulator control unit (~$900 IIRC).

As already mentioned, your first step should be to take it to an auto parts store and get the codes read for free.
