ACURA HONDA VSA ABS LIGHTS ON DTC 98-1 AND 84-1

Рет қаралды 187,109

Күн бұрын

In todays video we are working on a 2002 Acura RL that has the ABS lights and VSA lights illuminated. This vehicle came from a different shop where they replaced the left rear wheel speed sensor for a trouble code. After replacing the sensor they could not get the ABS and VSA lights to turn off. After much frustration they brought it to me. When we used a scan tool to pull codes we found DTC's 98-1 ECU UNMATCH FAILURE, 84-1 STEERING SENSOR INPUT ERROR, and 83-1 ECM RELATION FAILURE. In this video I will take you step by step through how I was able to diagnose and repair this vehicle. I will also explain in detail how to manually clear the ABS and VSA lights.

I can't imagine a more perfect instructional video. There damn well better be a special place in Heaven for someone like you who has taken so much time and effort to inform the rest of us how to fix a problem vehicle. My 2007 Honda Odyssey has taught me to never buy such a new vehicle again. It's back in time for me with vehicles that aren't so computer controlled with a thousand sensors. Talk about over-engineering. At 78, I can remember a time when everyone could work on their cars and trucks in their backyards. That was long, long ago in the Before Time.

Hey Eric, being a tech also, I just had to tell you that this was a great tutorial! So full of great valuable information and I thank you for sharing. As mechanics, we should always be trying to help each other out and share information with each other and you always seem to do that! I hope you and your family are well. Peace and blessings from Toronto Canada. 👍🏼👌🏼

I found this very interesting in that the scan tool gave wrong information, instead of no information. Thank you for sharing.

Resetting the SAS and ABS lights after repair on many Hondas is a pain. I have found many models that manual reset is the only way. I have found that the Bosch 1350 series has a great reset program for the Hondas. I have reset many for other shops that couldn't with their expensive tools and the $300.00 Bosch was able to do it. Hsving multiple scan tools is a must if you are going to be an Independent that works on many Makes.

I had run across the same thing with a 2004 Accord. I'd just bought the new launch and tried it out on my wife's car, found a code in ABS module, light wasn't on but decided to clear code . Next stat had ABS and VSA lights on with code stored, I thought it was an issue with the Launch software. I found the fix was the same as what you described here. Good job, you would think something this old we would have seen it before, goes to show there's always more to learn.

Needless to say i was not disappointed, you have lots of patience, drive and determination. You took on the problem head on, did not give up where others did, and you won this battle, brother! So kudos to you! I bet it felt great :)

I have an 06 Acura RL with the same problem. I’ve done the short pins 4 & 9 trick to put out the VSA light but the VSA activation “!” mark stays on. Then at 30 mph the VSA light comes back on. This all started when I ran a whole car code check. I’ve tried the other trick where you ground pin 9 and push the VSA button but for some reason, it’s not working (although it did three years ago when I had the same problem). I’m going to try this method soon. I hope it works. It’s really a shame Acura doesn’t have the knowledge to fix this without charging me hour after hour of service tech time while they “try” ti find this (known) problem. Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial.

Thanks. I was looking for some info on how to reset the VSA for an Acura ILX 2016. Right after replacing its dead battery I had a christmas light of warning lights coming up on the dashboard. It could only come from messing around with the electrical connections to the computer in my opinion. So I'll clean up the terminals from corosion, grease them and tighten them up. And if this doesn't clear all the codes, then i'll try to clear the codes with an OBD scanner, if not I'll get a mechanic to do it if it's too convoluted.

A video on the left rear speed sensor install would be cool. I've been driving my 1999 RL for the last 2 years by overriding the TCS (switch off TCS button after start up) because it won't accelerate past 5MPH when turning. Codes for 1999 Acura RL driver rear speed sensor: ABS "1-7" and TCS "4-8" These 99 RL sensors are pricey btw! (make sure you buy the correct year...they vary)
