VSA and triangle indicators are on
Hi!
As I understand it is a well known problem. When I start engine, the "/!" indicator is on, when I drive faster then 30 MPH, the "VSA" indicator turns on too.
I don't know what caused this problem. First time when it happened it was during playing games with OBD scanner. I read all error codes of engine, ABS, something else. And when OBD scanner was connected I took a short drive and these lights turned on. But before that my battery became out of charge and I couldn't start my engine. I charged the battery and took a long drive. No error lights was turned on. After that trip I removed all my wheels to check my brakes and pads. And the next day I was playing with OBD scanner and got this problem.
Now I found one video about Acura MDX 2003 how to turn these lights off without dealer scanner. And I want to ask whether this method works on TL too.
He says to clean error codes first. Error #84-1
Then he says to do:
-Insert both ends of a one wire into pin 9 and 4 of the OBD port.
-Turn the ignition on
-After the ABS lights turns off, quickly press the VSA off button
-After the ABS lights turns on again, quickly press the VSA off button again
-Triangle /!\ light will blink
-All lights ABS, VSA & /!\ should turn off.
Problem solved

it's a common issue on the 3G if you do a search, you'll see that the root cause is typically the VSA switch

Yes! Thank you! I had this idea too. But yesterday I was viewing photos on my phone and saw that I removed the wheels only next day, after my games with scanner.
