VSA, emissions, and hill assist lights all on

My 2010 TL SH-AWD suddenly lit up like a christmas tree...it's telling me to check VSA system, emissions system, and hill assist. Car is still running normally. A day later, light is on to check SH-AWD system, plus all the other lights i mentioned. I plan to take the car in on Thursday, but wondering what this could be...all those systems can't be down at once. Things I've done in the last month: AWD regular service, and had winter tires put on.

Hey BigKim11. This may sound dumb,but I had the same thing happen to me a few yrs back with my 09 AWD Tech and I hit the panic button. But it turned out to be the battery. I did the pull over to the side of the road and search for everything (as if I was some Tech guy and knew what I was looking for) and found nothing, till I got home and turned the car off, then restarted it to find the lights were a lil dim on start up then i put jumper cables on the battery and sparked it to find the spark was very low.I called Acura and told them the battery was dead and that one of my head lights was either off or very dim. Took it the next day got new battery and waalaaa problem solved. Tech told me that this is a common prob for Acura batteries. They are very weak and have bad cells in the original ones shipped with the car from factory. Hope this helps.....

^^ Agree with this. Likely the battery. This is what happens when they start to fail. Soon you will walk out one day and the car won't start. Replace it soon.

^^+2, disconnect the battery for a few minutes,the warnings will go away after you reconnect.Have the dealership do a load test on the battery.
