Default CEL and VSA activation indicator

I recently bought a stock 2006 S2000 with around 70k miles and after driving for a little bit the VSA activation indicator came on and the VSA button is unresponsive. Soon after that I replaced the transmission, clutch and diff fluids. Recently when I was accelerating in 5th gear at around 6k RPM there was an immediate loss of around 1k RPM (the car was warmed up). After I slowed down I noticed that the CEL and VSA letters were lit including the VSA activation indicator from before. I finished the drive and let the car sit overnight while locating a shop to bring it in to. When I went to bring it to the shop in the morning the VSA letters were gone but the CEL and triangle were still lit. I took it to Ballade sports to run diagnostics and the car tripped the codes in the picture. They were telling me they would have to take the car apart for a couple days to get a better idea of what’s going on. I’ve been looking around on the forums and I was wondering if there was anyone who would be able to provide any insight or suggestions on what I should do. Thanks

If you search on Google for 'S2KI + (your codes)' you'll find tons of threads with lots of information from people who have had the same issues.

I’ve been looking around on a lot of the threads and have some ideas of what to clean/check/replace. Since I’m fresh to S2Ks I was wondering if I should let a shop with experience take it on or is this more something I could handle with a little help from some friends with S2000s

Those threads and website linked above will help you pick out what you can do yourself to try and resolve those issues. It sounds like a lot of electrical/connection issues. Just FYI, the weight sensor for the SRS system (06+ passenger seat) is a major pain in the ass when it comes to aftermarket seats/rails and if I recall correctly, would need to be reset/re-calibrated by a HDS (Honda Diagnostic System/Tool).
