Hey guys,
I have a 2007 AP2 with a Clifford 50.7x w/ Remote Start (might be helpful info)
So I searched this problem about a week ago and it suggested that an alignment would fix it.
I just got an alignment yesterday and the VSA, Caution, and E-Brake light sporatically come on and off.
If I try to turn off the VSA nothing happens (light wise, not sure about traction)
The only thing I can think of is it is because my front tires are bald on the insides from negative camber after I dropped it 1.5"
Sometimes just the E-Brake light comes on for a few seconds then goes away, but there is no dinging noise indicating the ebrake is up.
Anyone have any ideas?

Is your brake master cylinder topped off?

Did they f@#k up one of your wheel speed sensors during the alignment?

I didnt think about that. Ill check when I get off work. Thanks man


I explained that this occured before the alignment as well. Good thought though.

Just to cover our bases here; by alignment we're talking that they checked camber, caster and toe correct? (some people don't realize)

Have you tried looking under the center console to check your ebrake connection? Could be loose/tripping out? Same with the fuse? Do you feel VSA, or does it just light up? If it was just the VSA/Caution light I'd be more worried. If anything it seems like there's some sort of faulty electrical/sensor going on. It would seem to me, something is thinking the brake is being engaged while driving, which would trigger VSA/Caution, but since there's no real slip it's not actually engaging it. At least, that would be my thought process in boiling it down

I and my friend BOTH have this same problem. I was told the sensor goes bad and Honda replaces them under warranty? I am uncertain though and I havent taken my car in, I hate the VSA and never found a use for it anyhow.

I'm not sure if this is useful info, but I can "create" this situation with my car. At my first drift event, instead of drifting, I kept doing a 180 and going backwards, and this would cause all 3 of those lights to activate. It would go away after I restarted the car(sometimes), or after a period of time (5-10 minutes).

it might be also VSA or/and ABS fault (i think in S2000 those systems are combined in 1 unit).

This is normal though, all MY06+ exhibit this problem on track after spinouts. It will take a restart and a few minutes for the brakes to return back to normal. (Drives some people crazy)
