So the other day this week, I took my 4th Gen TL Tech Package to get all new tires mounted and balanced and an oil change. I picked the car up when it was done and drove immediately home which was 5 mins away. Upon parking my car, the ABS and VSA lights came on and the monitor notified me that the ABS is not working and also the VSA .

So I immediately called the shop who did the tires. And told them that it came on and they said to bring it back and they will scan it to see what is the problem. And he tells me that upon scanning my car, about 30 codes were pulled and tries to tell me that these codes had to have been going off before which my car has not pulled any lights at all ever. And they said they can run a scan more and maybe recalibrate the sensors but is it something they did or broke or is something going bad

The codes that pulled are
81-1 ABS control unit failure
61-1 Battery Voltage Failure
83-1 ECM /PCM Relation failure
25-1 Yaw Rate Sensor Failure
27-1 Steering Angle sensor failure


What do I do ?

 

A low charge on the battery can cause a number of codes to pop up with the 61-1 being the most telling. Chances are when the tire shop worked on your car, they may have the left the key in with the engine off causing your battery to drain. If you've got a battery tender at home, charge it up and restart the car and the codes should disappear.

 

Okay cool. Thanks alot man Im definitely going to try that today and let you know how it goes

 

Sooo sorry for the late response but I was on vacation and finally got to the car and charged it up and the same ABS and VSA codes are on sooooo what else can it be ?

 

is it a stored code or is it the orange ABS light on the dash??

 

Its the orange ABS light. Orange VSA light and and orange exclamation mark . And the AcuraLink keeps notifying me that the ABS and VSA is not working. Car seems to run fine but I just want to figure out the lights .

 

check out the sensors at the wheel well....
perhaps they were disconnected and not reconnected during your shop visit

 

And if it isn't unplugged or so. What's my next option ?

 

perhaps there's a cut in the wire?
perhaps the ABS sensors are bad?

 

have you tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnecting the battery to see if the lights go away?

 

So just a quick update. I took the car today to get looked at. At a local firestone. Who then advised to take it to acura itself. Because they are assuming maybe the ABS module is bad or going bad as to why the lights are on. But they are also not 100% sure if that really is the fix for it all. Soo seems like I'm shit outta luck lol
