Well for a while now I've had the VSA light, Triangle with exclamation mark, and Brake light turn on. The problem is more consistent when the engine is cold, but as of lately all those lights have been turning on more and more frequently regardless if the engine is cold.

It all started when I pressed on the brake and the brake light turned on. I found out the light stayed on for about about 10 min. Later my VSA light and Triangle with exclamation mark light turned on and stayed on. This would stay on until I turn my car off for about 5-10 min. If I were to try and turn it off and on immediately it would just stay on.

Lately, this is happening without me having to press brake at all. It just turns on everytime I turn my car on.

I didn't do any modifications to my car except getting HID lights and no I do not race or abuse my car much. Only like once every 4 months and even then its only for like 2 min. My brake fluids and pad materials are both good. Anyone with the same problem? Any suggestions or idea?

Are you still within the 3/36 warranty period?

The only guess - beyond a sensor malfunction - is that you might have a seized caliper or something else putting moderate pressure on the brake. It could accidentally trigger the VSA (theoretically). I would suggest taking it to the dealer to run a quick diagnostic; check to see if any codes might have been registered with the ECU.

If no one has other suggestions and you end up going to the dealer, let us know how it turns out. GL.

Sure thing will do... I called honda and they told me to take it in to the dealership and get diagnostics on it. After I get the results they will take it up to the claims manager for review. Hopefully everything turns out well for me

Okay well I didn't take it to the Honda dealership, but I ended up pulling the codes for it on my friend's scan tool. The codes which was pulled up was:

65-21 Brake Fluid Level Sensor Switch Stuck On
27-23 Steering Angle Sensor Counter Malfunction
86-01 F-CAN Bus-Off Malfunction
83-13 ECM/PCM Relation Failure

Now... one thing can be causing all these or it can be more, but I have no idea what it might be. Do any of you guys have access to the repair/service manual? or where can I get it for free? In need of real help guys.. Let me know

The brake level fluid level sensor switch has me questioning whether it's related to your other problems. I think it's time you took it to the dealer.

usually if vsa and brake lamp are both coming on this could be a sensor going out or possibly your vsa modulator is going out. it can be costly to replace the
vsa modulator
but definitely needs to be checked at a Honda dealership that you trust.

I took it in for an oil change the other day and when it came back out of the shop the lights weren't off.. by the time i realized this i was already home and did not get a chance to go back and ask the guy what the problem was... i am planning to go this weekend and ask him..

when i do find out what the problem was, ill let you guys know!! thanks for all your support guys!!
