Default VSA (traction) not working..

For some reason my 06 S2000 decided it isn't going to let me turn off the traction control.

Everyday since I've owned the car I hit the button and the VSA light comes on and disengages the traction, but today I press the button and the light doesn't come on.

So traction is not able to be shut off in my car right now.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or heard of it?

Into the dealership next week either way so I'll figure it out, but thought I'd ask around first.

Thanks.

are you holding the button long enough do disengage? it's takes like 3 seconds of pressing. however, there is no delay when turning it back on.

After bringing in the car, the dealership is apparently replacing the VSA system due to some type of failure which I will inquire further into next time I speak with the dealership. But thankfully it's under warranty, the part was apparently $1700 or so.

So it wasn't just the LED in the gauge cluster. So if your VSA light doesn't come on your traction system could be fried?

Has anyone else had to replace the VSA system in their S?


Thanks

wow, good to know. when you can, give us more details and even part numbers if you have them on the invoice. it would be interesting to see what they replaced.

Thought I'd add to the thread my car currently sits at 30,xxx miles.

That could be around when other people see this part go too possibly?
