Default VSA & Traction Control Light Stay On

I have started my car a few times this week and noticed that the VSA Light & Traction Control Triangle Light stay illuminated. Sometimes turning the car on and off gets it to go away. Any suggestions? 50,000+ miles on a S2000 is uncharted territory for me. LOL! Thanking you guys in advance.

Not one response? Someone has to have or had a similar problem.

If the VSA light remains on, there is a fault in the system and a code will be stored.

Thanks as always Billman. I will have to have my local shop pull the code.

^ I always respond to these because I believe the lights you were talking about mine was doing the same thing. restarting the car would make it go away but it would randomly come back. What it ended up being was low brake fluid, just low enough so at the right angle/braking the BRAKE light would flash causing those two indicators to light up.

So in short, check your brake fluid too just in case.. I know.. Random.

That is so funny, the little things in these cars. I will check that in the AM. Thanks for the insight.

It may be possible to get the codes via the blink method.
