VSA indicator light (traction control) stuck on
Hi Guys (and ladies),
I just bought a 2006 s2k and love the car. Unfortunately the VSA indicator light (!)is stuck on (not the (VSA) light). There are no other warning lights on as far as I can tell. I've checked all the fuses under the hood, the brake fluid level and the tire pressures (including the spare). Before I take it to a honda dealership, I was wondering if there are any other things I should check. The car is 100% stock and has never been modified as far as I can tell (was a lease return).
I've driven the car over a hundred miles have cycled the ignition key and have disconnected the battery for a minute. The light has always been on.
If anyone has any thoughts on other items/features to check for possible problems before taking it to the dealership I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks!

this happened to me when i lowered my S. i ended up busting my speed sensor located near the brake assembly. that could be your problem... may have run over something and it knocked it loose or busted. i got mine taken care of under warranty, so check with your dealership. hope this helps.

VSA piggybacks off of the ABS. It can malfunction and won't effect the ABS so it makes sense. I have the same problem. Its the speed/VSA sensor that goes bad oftentimes on these cars. They are covered by warranty so no worries there.

this happened after i installed my coilovers. it sounds like you guys also have an aftermarket suspension. did they cover it with the warranty even with coilovers on?

Which VSA light is on? The text VSA system indicator or the yellow triangle VSA activation indicator? Just curious as if the text VSA is illuminated there's a VSA problem regardless. The yellow triangle stays on of VSA is turned off or flashes as VSA gets activated by the system.

The triangle flashes when VSA is in operation and a constant On indicates the VSA system is turned Off. Normally you press the VSA switch on the instrument panel to do this and the indicator illuminates as a reminder it's shut off. This is latching relay (or similar) controlled as the system reverts to On when the ignition is shut off so you gotta push switch Off every time you start the car if you don't want VSA. Your car ain't doing this it seems. This could be as simple as a bad switch.
Fuse 48 (30a under-hood) and fuse 6 (15a under-dash) are mentioned in the 100+ pages of trouble shooting the indicator not going off. A place to start.
