-ABS light: there is a fault code in the abs, scan it (abs is currently inoperable)
-VSA light: on by abs default (vsa is currently disabled)
-triangle light: on by vsa default (traction control is disabled)
Let me save you all a lot of headaches, do not let the car sit for long periods with the battery connected. If it goes dead, it will set codes and can even damage certain electrical components of the car.
Disconnect the battery during winter storage, or use a tender.

Looks like this is what happened to me. I didn't drive the car for a few months and the battery died. Replaced the battery and soon after the VSA and Triangle light came on.
I got it scanned (with a Snap On Diagnostic tool) today and the codes that came up were 66 and 84. One of them is the brake pressure sensor. The mechanic tried to clear the codes a few times but it won't clear. He told me the brake pressure sensor needs to be replaced but it's inside the VSA modulator which is over $1600. I'm bringing it back to him tomorrow so he can try a few more things.
Any other help will be appreciated.
Thanks

i have the same problem 2006 ap2 ABS,EPS and CHECK ENGINE lights ALL OFF
ONLY VSA and triangle ON
tooked to the dealer and scanner said code 81-1: ECU failure: hardware failure
*replaced ABS complete unit with modulator pump and frame
*bleeded the system
*tried to reset the ABS and VSA with this:
1) With the ignition switch OFF, pins 4 and 9
2) Press the brake pedal and HOLD.
3) Turn the ignition switch ON (position II) while continuing to hold the brake pedal.
4) After the ABS indicator goes off, release the brake pedal.
5) After the ABS indicator comes back on, press the brake pedal again.
6) After the ABS indicator goes off again, release the brake pedal.
VSA neutral position procedure:
Do not touch the brake pedal anymore.
1) Keep Pins 4 and 9 jumped.
2) Switch the ignition key to position II (on) again, but don't start the engine. Then after the ABS light turns off, quickly press the "VSA off" button.
3) After ABS light turns on again, quickly press the "VSA off" button again.

i do have codes 92-20..71-10 and 81-61 From SRS but they told me it has nothing to do with VSA
