Worked for me, although the timing on the VSA button push needs to be quick (don't hold it). Took me four tries-- here's the procedure I used thanks to your video:
STEP 1
Pin 4 and 9
Hold brake pedal down
Turn ignition on
ABS light comes on
ABS light turns off
Remove foot off brake pedal
ABS light turns on
Hold brake pedal down
ABS light turns off
Remove foot off brake pedal
ABS light should blink twice
STEP 2
Ground pin 9
Switch ignition on
ABS light goes off
Press VSA off button quickly
ABS light comes back on
Press VSA off button quickly
All warning lights should be off
Per ModestMaker instruction regarding having to quickly press the ‘VSAOFF’ button in the reset procedure is GOLDEN! Much appreciated! 2007 Honda Pilot AWD here.
Hi Gerard, Thank you for this, my message appeared after a Diag Tool check too. I wrote this out and have added it to your comments in case anyone want to copy paste your instructions and go out to the car with it.
Part 1 Resetting the ABS Icon
Connect pin 9 to pin 4
1. Hold Break down
Turn Ignition ON
ABS light will illuminate
Wait for ABS light to extinguish
2. Release brake
ABS light will illuminate
Press Brake Again
Light will extinguish again
3. Release Brake pedal once again
This time ABS light will blink twice and extinguish for good - confirming the reset
Part 2 Resetting the VSA
Connect pin 9 to an Earth
1. Turn Ignition ON
2. Wait for the ABS light extinguish
3. Select VSA switch to OFF
4. Wait for the ABS light to illuminate
5. Select VSA switch back to ON
The ABS light should now be set and all the warnings should be cleared.
Check by turning Ignition OFF and back ON, all Warnings should extinguish
Wow....works like magic on Acura MDX 2006. Big thanks Gerard. You are God sent.
These icons ⚠️, VSA and ABS appeared after my MDX was scanned two years ago. Every effort to clear them by car mechanic was abortive and the sight of them anytime I enter into my car was like a pin in the ass that needed to go away. Eventually, I stumbled on this Gerard's video this midnight 00:21AM and having read all the good comments here, I could not wait till morning but rose to try this trick which worked out for me. I have an appointment tomorrow with my mechanic on this issue. Too bad, appointment is cancelled. Just on time, Gerard happened to me. Big thanks Gerard
hey , I tried doing this on my 06 Acura mdx , after shorting pin 4 and 9 all I see is my check engine light and other lights blinking , the abs doesn't tho , any suggestions ?
This fixed my 2009 Honda Accord LX-P with these 4 lights on: VSA, "Triangle with exclamation point", "BRAKE", and ABS light. Thank you!
Why does the screen on the panel appeard "NO" instead of the km run must appeared, after i pin the 4 & 9 with paperclip
Just lovely . My car has been sitting in the shop for 10 days. They couldn’t figure it out. finally, this guy come up with a genius idea, and I did it myself for less than 5 minutes booooommmmm .
ME TOO
Me. 3 I have been waiting to get mine smog but couldn't get the lights out. Work like a charm thanks Mr Burke
Did it stay off ?
Thanks for the procedure. Can you please post the steps clearly..
Thanks for sharing this DYI tip on how to reset the ABS & VSA warning lights. I tried this reset process and all our brake-related lights turned off, saving me a bunch of $$$!! We had a leaking windshield that caused the VSA light, ABS and BRAKE lights to stay on after a really bad rain storm (1/2" water on the driver side floor mat). After having the windshield replaced, we took the 08' Accord to the dealership to have it diagnosed; they said the VSA modulator needed to be replaced, for $2045!! My net search on this issue found this video and 2 minutes later, all lights were reset... thanks for posting, Gerard !!!
This literally just happened to me too. I just bought the vsa modulator. Guess I’m trying this out first
@@TheCarventer Well, did the VSA ABS Jumper of Pins 4&9 work, or did you have to replace the VSA Modulator?
Did you had ABS, Brakes in red, VSA and power steering lights showing up in the dashboard?
My 2006 Honda Pilot EX Model in step#2 short pin 9 to ground won't work, then read below comment some pal said YOU STILL NEED TO SHORT PIN 4 & PIN 9 TOGETHER (Note: Pin 9 not short to ground) and it work after 2nd try. In the 2nd attempt you must hold the VSA BUTTON until you see the VSA & THE TRIANGULAR on the dash flashing then go off, you are done. Make sure you REMOVE THE PIN before starting the engine.
Thanks for this. I'm going to try on my 2005 Pilot.
FYI, pin 4 is chassis ground, so you could have left the jumper the way that you had it to pin 9 when resetting the ABS.
Thanks. That made it easier than trying to clip a wire
Thanks! That helped a lot 👍
So what your saying I can leave pin4 as is to reset the vsa light ? 😅
Thats right boyo
I dont use to write comments in UA-cam but this one really deserves a good one! Thanks for your help! Really usefull tutorial! Congrats from Spain!
Just wanted to say to others my ABS light came on my Nissan 1994 pickup and thinking I should check my ABS sensors it ended up being a brake fluid level at minimum. A little fluid fixed the problem.
Any reason why the abs light doesnt come back on a second time after i hit the vsa button?
Just reset the codes on my 2012 Pilot. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!
THANK YOU!! This was a huge help. Was so annoying. Watched so many vids and read so many damn articles. Many came close but I am glad I couldn't do all of them bc I prob would have fried my car LOL.
For anyone out there, this works on a 2005 Acura RL.
Did not work for me.
I did exactly. Cleared the ABS got the 2 blinks…then tried resetting vsa and would not. Same thing happened to me with a full system scan and light came on…was never on before that. Grounded the pin 9 to try to clear vsa…idk what else to do.
Straightforward and to the point unlike other channels where it takes the host 5 minutes talking about nothing just to keep the viewer on to help his channel's engagement. 💪
My abs light blinks 3 times after I complete the abs reset procedure. This is in my 07 my honda element what does that mean?
You rock!!! This freaking light has been driving me crazy!! Fixed. Thank you so much! Stealership wanted $200! 2006 Pilot (took three attempts... probably my fault).
Stealers diler jejejeej bro make my day
Didn't work for me. I only get the warning light on and after driving it for a while the vsa light turns on. Any ideas how to get rid of it?
Following
Search for "Steering Angle Calibration" -- closely tied to VSA and ABS -- if that ever gets out of calibration, the computer doesn't know 'straight'-ahead, and it trips VSA.
Also, make sure the STEERING WHEEL is aligned "straight ahead" when doing the above resets/calibrations
Genius.
All I did was scan this damm 2007 accord and it set the VSA off.
Only this procedure worked, it's perfect, just do it in a speedy timely movement, not too long between the steps. I wrote the instructions on paper.
Thank you so much, this was a real real problem today.
Thanks a lot , by the way this also works for models up to 16! 🤗 Mine is a 2015 Honda crv and works as he described! Thanks again!
Damn 2007 Honda Pilot didn’t work for mine
Thanks for making this video! I used your instructions to clear the triangle/VSA light that came up on my 2007 Honda Pilot after I used a Launch CRP scan tool to clear codes.
is it still on ? I just bought a pilot with it on and I here it's common so it didn't like scare or bother me so I went on with the purchase
If this worked on a Honda Pilot it should work on a 2008 ridgeline right ?
So did this car experience a limp mode where it would rev pass 2k rpm?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have read forum after forum, and they were all BS. They all left out the jumping the pins. Just push the break pedal and just push the button. None of that works, and i was skeptical of that too. I have done enough work to know there should be a little something else.
One of your commenters said that pin 4 is ground. They were right and you dont have to take the jumper out. Just leave it where it is and do the other step without the break.
Thanks! What model Honda was yours on?
Hi
I tried it on my Honda vtec 2007 but it didn’t work. Perhaps the problem is slightly different as the ABS/VSA light doesn’t come on at ignition. It normally comes after 2 mins of drive. I tried the first method of joining pins 4 & 9 and it gave me message on the dash saying “DTC service - PA10 B1008” and nothing else. The ABS and VSA comes on as previously after 2 mins of drive.
I havent tried the 2nd method for VSA reset as I don’t have something to use for grounding. Please suggest what can be used for grounding if I don’t have the clipper.
Pls advise 🙂
Hi great video I have followed the steps but abs light flashing 3 times instead 2 times am I doing something wrong tks 2008 Honda Civic abs light as well is vsa light
this worked on my 2007 honda legend[ acura rl in states ] see also geting honda abs codes without a scanner this worked also join 4and9whitout bressing brake to flash codes 13 was mine nsf front abs sensor
This works but only if you get the correct pins. These are horribly marked and you can easily get pin 16 instead of pin 9. If so you will blow the ACG S fuse (15a) which will give you the flashing green immobilizer key lamp on the dash, and the car will then not start. To test that you have the correct pin, test the pin with a volt meeter first. Pin 16 will have 12-14 volts on it at all times. Pin 9 will not and no reading. Pin 4 and 5 mix up works out for they are both grounds.
This happened to me but i cant locate the acg s fuse i only see the acg
You should have kept the camera on the dashboard for the VSA reset. Also, be more thorough with your discriptions. I am sure people want to know that they must recycle the key to the off position.
Abs is reseting, exclamation mark blinked vsa after eleventyeight times still on. What procedure u spoke about key off
Im glad u told him about that ..cause i was wondering too about the key..and having the camera pointing to the dashboard..he did ok explaining and everything that was good but people want to see what is going on about the steps..and the results..

I just needed to re-set my Element's ABS light, triggered by my NYS inspection. Jumping 4 & 9 and following the steps worked. My BlueDriver failed to do the reset. Thank you.
06 acura tl here. Noticed brake lights would not go off. Brake stopper broke into pieces. Replaced that and the brake light switch. Solved the brake light problem. But then VSA and the /!\ lights came on. Vsa button inoperable. Felt like while trying to drive I had the brake pedal and accelerator pedal pressed at the same time. Scanned codes and 68 and 84 came up. Readjusted the brake light switch. I had it in too far. Scanned again and got the 2 same codes. But the car drives fine. VSA light disappeared but the /!\ light remained. Followed the steps provided by this video and all lights on the dashboard are off. Car drives fine. Afraid to plug up the scanner and run the codes again. Don't want to trigger the dash lights. Thank you! Hope this didn't deactivate the ABS and VSA systems but don't want to press the VSA button again either. Again thank you for this video I was ready to throw a lit match to this car.
Nice one man, I’ve reset the abs with a paper clip numerous times to find remaining lights. Nowhere else could I find anything about following that up by grounding and resetting the VSA. Cheers ☘️
Do you know what cables he used? Are those jumper cables?
@@knightofnights1693 a paper clip and a bit of wire to earth it for the second part.
@@dmcresins can I use copper wire
Thank you for sharing, this procedure worked for my Honda Pilot 2007. I had the VSA light turned on when a mechanic did a full scan trying to find a code for a transmission issue, I have a cheap USB scanner and i was getting code 84, you have to do the two step for this to work, clear ABS then VSA, however, you can perform this procedure by letting the jumper clip on the OBDII connector between pin 9 and 4, pin 4 is ground, therefore, the second step when you remove the clip and bring another ground was not really necessary, you can perform both systems reset without removing the jumper clip, i just did it and the VSA light is gone. Another happy customer, thank you sir.
THIS worked after a mechanics did a full scan and the triangle light stayed on for days after. VSA light would turn on after accelerating past 50kmh. Did this and its gone,, CL9 2007 Accord Euro.
EDIT: Resharing the tips from below, you can skip the grounding part for this car model as pin 4 is ground. Therefore after finished step 1, you can jump straight into the next step!
Hi, thank you for the video. It helped me to fix VSA triangle on my Honda Accord CM2 (2004). In my case the second part of the reset needed to have 9-4 pins shortened too, not 9-GND as in your video. Cheers!
Thanks Daniel 🙏🙏
I'm trying this today..
Just so I understand 'when you say you had to have 9&4 shortened what do you mean?
@@willsr.9154 Follow the video. First part requires you to shorten odb connector pins with wire. Second part of the video says to shorten pin to ground. What worked in my case means to do the second part of procedure in video with shortened pins as per first part of the video - not to ground.
@@danielbarta6707 so no grounding at all just leave it as it is for the last part ? Because the grounding part lost me
@@themcilroyfamilyYT yes, it worked that way in my car.
I have 1 question, I just bought an acura TSX THE GUY TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE MAGNETS ON THE DRIVERSIDE WAS BAD. MY VSA LIGJT IS ON SHOULD I DO WAT U DID IN THE VIDEO SIR.??
WINNER, i have acura tsx/ european honda accord . Had my cat converter replaced and this light came on when car was fixed. Mechanic said has nothing to do with his work. I did this method and worked
Tried this several times on my 2013 Honda CR-V 5AT 2.4L K24Z9 and was not successful in removing any lights. My car was on a hoist just above the ground - does this make a difference?
THIS WORKED FLAWLESSLY I HAVE A FOXWELL AND NEEDS UPDATING SO I CAN'T DO IT THE EASY WAY FOUND THIS DID IT FIXED IT AND A FEW ORHERS IN THE COMMENT SECTION IS CORRECT JUST LEAVE PIN 4 AND 9 JUMPED THEN U DO THE PROCEDURE FOR BOTH THE ABS & VSA RESET SINCE PIN 4 IS ALREADY A GROUND NICE WORK TO ALL 😎😎🍻🍻
I have a 2006 UK-spec Honda Jazz (aka "Fit").
The ABS light came on after hitting a loose rock on the road (no damage to the wheel at all).
Both my old and new OBD2 scanners report "No Codes".
I tried your method:
1. Turn Ignition OFF.
2. Join pins 4 & 9 of OBD2 socket
3. Hold Brake pedal down
4. Turn Ignition to ON (not start engine)
5. ABS light illuminates...
but the ABS light does not then go off for me.
I tried pulling the 7.5A ABS fuse for a minute then replacing it but it made no difference.
Any ideas?
Took me 4 goes to get it but worked on my 2007 Honda Elysion. THANK YOU!!!
It worked on my Accord 2.4 ivtec !
Firstly I changed my gierarsensor unter the driver seat and then I did this prosedure with your video.
After 3 years I did it. Thank you !!
It works !!!
Do Not Do THIS on a 2005 CRV (US)... it will kill your ABS modulator... if you are stuck in "Limp Mode" after doing this, you can disconnect the wiring harness (46P) from the ABS unit and your car will return to normal operation -VSA & ABS
Only way i could get triangle light off was with jumper wire between pins 4 + 9. 4 is ground like others mention. Maybe the problem was i used a broken jumper wire to ground and i didnt test for continuity so idk. Anyhow i turned off VSA ABS Triangle lights on my '04 tsx. They came on when i was replacing front brake calipers.
Used this on my wifes 2015 Civic Si(usa model) and it cleared the warning lights.
Gerard, thank you very much, this kind of maintenance it's was gonna took me a bunch of money since here in Brazil 8th gen Accord's are rare and qualified maintainers are even rarer, even honda dealers would probably suffer to solve this (Sadly, but truly mean it). One detail... At least on mine 8th gen, when pinned 4 and 9, and turned the ignition key on, it showed a code UXXXX on blackout screen, but it was fast so I couldn't record or remember it, and for my luck I didn't need to follow all the procedures described for the brake pedal and VSA button it resetted immediately. Anyway I'm just really glad you solved my problem that easy, no more christmas tree out season, LOL. Again, thanks man... BR greetings
Thanks! I popped a check engine light due to a dead thermostat, mechanic used his snap-on megabucks tool to clear the codes after replacing the parts, and it triggered the Triangle and VSA light. I used Pin's 4 and 9, since 4 is the chassis ground, and your trick worked like a charm! Much appreciated.
Amazing video, just fixed my TSX 04, btw remember to disconnect the wire before you turn on again the car
This is brilliant. Couldn't find this info anywhere else. The car went to a garage for an unrelated fault, they had a snap-on diag tool and it triggered the Exclamation mark, the VSA light would come on when reaching 30mph. I went through this process and it's cured! The garage couldn't work it out. I used the door bolt for GND. Thanks.
I have the same issue, I had a check engine light on for the knock sensor which I ended up replacing with the oem one cause aftermarket still showed the check engine. I went to reset the check engine after replacing it and had my exclamation mark on ever since. They used a snap-on diagnostic tool as well. You think this video will help?
@@angelsantana2184 yes sounds exactly same issue with snap on tools
@@supervitz7178 I’ll give it a shot, thanks.
Hi. Great info. If this reset does not work ? That means I have a real problem ???
I got those 2 warning lights after an OBD scan. The scan found only one old "low battery" error and nothing more. After the scan tool was disconnected from the OBD the triangle with an exclamation point appeared. After 30-40 sec the VSA error appeared too. Will try to reset them with this steps.
Honda accord 2006 hybrid, didn't make it in first try, it worked after 4th or 5th try, it got on after shop used snap on, and they later told me abs module is bad, used on ebay was 400 or 600$ , i got across this video and i can't thank you enough.
Good video. Just did a timinbelt and water pump and the vsa and check engine light came on. 1 code 0344 and it says it is a camshaft sensor. But I didn't touch any of the sensors. Sh-awd also came on. I reset the vsa light with this method. But it comes back up. I have my scanner tool, and it clears everything and the car struggles to start. Once started the lights come on and it runs fine. Have a camshaft sensor on the way just In case
Just about to try this and thought I'd have one more go with the snap on scan tool, and I cleared it, by going into abs and special procedures, follow a step by step, ignition on abs light comes on and goes out- immediately press VSA button ABS comes on again- immediately press VSA button, ABS flashes and its reset, no VSA light, viola.
I have a 2004 accord lx andI performed this test. The abs blinked 3 times and remained on. I took a look at all the sensors and everything appeared okay. None of my scan tools show abs issues but these are cheap scanners. Any ideas would be amazing
This would need more than a simple thank you! Red bottle of wine it is! Thank you soooooooo much and well explained! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
While I don't drink red wine I do love a monster :) I have a page if you would like to grab one ko-fi.com/gerardburke
Either way thanks very much for the kind words, I appreciate it.
Nawara me ayudaste a apagar el arbolito que tenía en el tablero GRAAAAACIAAAAAAS
If your car won't start after trying this check your fuses. I blew the ecu fuse under the hood by jumping 16 instead of 9. Emissions and tpms lights were on and it wouldn't turn over
Thank you!! Worked great on 2008 Honda Pilot,👍👍
Thank you sooo much. I had my wife's 2006 Honda CR-V in for a stuck Intake Manifold Modulator fix and when I got the car back the VSA indicator was on and would not go off.
I searched the web for solutions, and got a bunch of different answers.
I filtered out the ones that sounded too hillbilly and tried yours. I skipped the ABS section since only her VSA was on. Bah-Dah-Boom. I got her car fixed! (With your help.) Thanks.
My Honda CR-V is doing this as well. Want to try it but I am concern I’ll make it worst.
@@JenniferFlores-tt4hu
Jennifer - I thought the EXACT same thing as you, that I would short something out - but it turns out this worked perfectly.
I would only suggest you use a small (as in "thin") paper clip, and a clip-lead if you can scrounge one up. It'll make it easier to connect the ground while you're sitting in the driver's seat. The hard thing for me was finding some metal part under the dash to find a ground. Some people use the hinge on the door jam. If you can't find any wire, cut the ends off an old extension cord and use one side of that. You can split the two wires by splitting it down the middle with a pair of scissors, and "zip" them apart into two separate wires. Good Luck.
2013 Honda Civic Lx ), Need some help VSA & ABS lights are on in the information center I want to try this but my Civic does not have a VSA button so in step 2 there’s no button to turn off any suggestions ? I would appreciate the help I don’t want to bring it to the Steeler ship. Thanks
Honda Pilot 2012 EX-L worked perfectly first time! Thanks for the video
I tried this on an acura. None of it worked for me. And i say that with a heavy heart, becsuse i really needed this to be done. 😢
Success! 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid. The light came on after I had a shop replace the AC compressor and they said it might be due to a faulty ABS module. (I didn't think so) So thankful for this "hack". How did you even figure it out? Definitely buying you a few drinks! Cheers! 🍻
Thank you very much. It's massively appreciated 🤗🙏🙏
I just had this mysterious problem pop up after I holed up a D7 scan tool to my 05 Accord.
After about 4 hours of research and playing with the mid level made in China tool I did find a fix within the scanner. I made a video of how to go through it but not everyone has a good DIY scanner or wants to pay a shop and I was wondering if I can mention your video or show a link for those who don't have a scan tool
Would this work on an Acura TL 2005 ? I have and Abs and Vsa light that randomly comes on as I drive and I turn my car off and on and it goes away sometimes but comes back just as random, any idea thank you in advance
Just reset TSA on my Honda Accord 2011. Light off and stays off!!!! Thanks!
I have a 2009 Honda Civic S. I. And it doesn't work, but there's only 8 plugs on the top, not 9.
Hi to all, 09 does this on and off in different times while driving should i do this process anyways? eavan if lighs aren't on? Thanks
Hi,been having the issue for a while. The VSA and ABS lights are just on. Scared to do this procedure myself
It will do nothing abs code will reset themselves when the fault is repaired and you drive at like 5 miles hours
You can erase the code but it will come back on in a couple mile of running the car
This video is useless and false
90% chance you got a bad wheel speed sensor
And the moment the computer detect than one wheel stays at 0 mile per hour the light will come back on
Great video tks Gerard. Any ideas for a Honda Legend (Acura RL) 1995 model?
When I hooked up with a paper clip it sparked. Could not get the VSA light out and now my car will not start. Any suggestions?
This has been bothering me for 2 years! Thanks
OBD pin 4 is chassis earth, so you can keep the link from process one for process two - joining pin 4 to pin 9 earths pin nine.
What happens when i accidentally use the wrong pins and my car wont start????? Yes i replaced the ACG FUSE but where is the ACG S fuse everyone is talking about?
Good Old Irish Accent Sounds Like My Pops
Its a shame that cars have become such a pain in the ass,you cant even do a simple brake job without warnngi lites and scanners that never work on the issue your having anyway
Thanks for the video. Does this procedure applied to the 2006 CRV too? Because mine has these lights on
Sodding car. Type R 07, changed all brakes and discs and lights still on so I’m using this method. Hope it works.
Edit: Doesn’t/Didn’t work.
Did you experience issue where car blacked out when you tried to start? I lost all electrical after doing this.
I've tried it a few times, Mine blink 3 times and stay on. Any idea?
After using a snap-on diagnostic tool and getting these warning lights after a full system scan. I proceeded to go into the individual calibration settings, and went into the ABS calibration. Do a full reset (it came up twice as procedure not recognised) after the second I called it a day. On reversing the vehicle out of the bay and back in to the yard all fault lights turned off!! Please make sure that all four wheels have turned several times forward and backward on level ground before going any further than what the diagnostic tool has already done, full scan!! If this fails try going in the calibration menu and to ABS recalibration sensors. If after driving forward and backward they're still on and one of the symptoms is brake pressure switch and/or sensor logic then it's a faulty wire in the ABS module. This can be repaired for around £150.
Before doing any pin to pin shorting try all of the above. If all of the above fails then you have nothing to lose. Just remember after having the abs module brake switch/sensor logic the ⚠️ light will stay on permanently you need to do the diagnostic calibration scan (all the ABS and VSA lights will be on again, don't lose faith) just drive back and forth a good few meters and the system will recognise this and reset.
This hack should be tried after all else fails.
What are the steps in details
Thanks so much…..worked perfectly but as you say be sure to make a good ground. I had to try different contacts to get the ground
God bless you and your family and give you more wisdom so that you can help more people. who are going through these problems with their work vehicles
🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏
This do work I am not a mechanic just a vehicle owner this thing works
Thank you for the tip 👌
How did you ground the paper clip I’m really confused on that
Isn’t pin 4 chassis ground? What’s the point of switching it for the step?
Just tried this on my 05 CRV, did NOT work.
So will this stop the vehicle from going limp after i turn it off? 🤔
Didn’t work for mine. Thanks for the video though!
Shorting the pins did not work and put my Honda into limp mode. No power steering
Ok i followed the instructions for this procedure and when the ABS light was supposed to blink 2 times , it blinked 3 times any suggestions to the cause for this and anything for the instructions to fix??
Any information? Same here, blinks 3 times and 2nd step doesn't work
One thing I did not get. PIN 4 is Chassis ground, PIN 9 is SCS (Service Check System). What is the point to connect PIN 9 to Chassis ground when it's already connected there thru PIN 4? Can someone please confirm me the pinout I described is correct?
Your pinout is correct. Some work with alternative grounding to earth on pin 9 for the second step of this procedure, others just by jumping pins 4 and 9 as in the first step.
I just had an mot done which is in the UK on a Honda Civic 2006 the day after the ABS vsa lights were on. Does anyone think it has anything to do with going through the inspection or mot?
Mine came on after they ran a scan to check the alternator so very possible
Does it work if my car only has a 5 pin diagnostic port
Excelent it work!!! Thanks my freinds
I can't get rid of the Triangle. It will not go away. I followed the 2 step process. My VSA light (Button) does not illuminate. Not sure if it is on or off?
Here is what I had to do to my 2008 Honda Pilot to get the Triangle. I did this. Jumped 9 and 4 connection. Turned on the key. When the ABS disappeared, I hit the VSA button. The ABS would reappear then I hit the VSA button again, The triangle would flash 3x and disappeared. The triangle initially appeared when a took it to a shop and they reset the codes for a P2185 coolant sensor 2 error. The triangle and VSA started to pop on after that reset was done so I knew there wasn't an issue in the system.
So I hitting the Vsa once when the abs comes off then the second time when it off?
How do you do it if we have push button as the ignition for the abs
