Why is my VSA light on Acura TL?

This VSA light indicates that the system is currently activated, which means that it is actively helping keep your Honda or Acura safe. If this light stays on at all times, it probably means that the VSA system has been switched off. This is easy enough to do, there is a button that says VSA on it.

Can I drive with VSA light on?

If the VSA System Indicator lights up and stays on, it means there’s a problem with the system itself. In the meantime, it’s perfectly safe to drive your car, but the VSA system won’t be there to protect you in difficult conditions, so it’s a good idea to drive with extra care until the problem is fixed.

When does the check AWD warning come on?

The combined warning lights of ‘check emissions’ and ‘check SH-AWD’ come on for a couple of days and then go off. Its been alternating between warnings lights and no warning lights for the past month. I have no automated warning messages delivered through the Navigation system. I just had my check sh awd warning coming on this morning.

What’s the difference between SH AWD and SH-AWD?

When fully connected the power is split 50/50 assuming all wheels have traction. SH-AWD also uses the same arrangement but adds a unique differential unit in the rear that does two things. First, it has a gearset to “speed up” the rear wheels so that when they are connected, they spin 1.7% faster than the fronts.

How does the Acura SH AWD system work?

SH-AWD also uses the same arrangement but adds a unique differential unit in the rear that does two things. First, it has a gearset to “speed up” the rear wheels so that when they are connected, they spin 1.7% faster than the fronts. (The old RL used a variable ratio system but it is no longer used.)

Why does my car go to FWD with SH AWD?

Click to expand… After filling up with the most recent tank of gas, it clicked about 5 times. When the SH-AWD error pops up, the monitor is showing that the car goes to FWD. Other than that, everything else drives fine, so I’m thinking it’s a sensor issue or it’s taking forever to get the bad gas out of the system.
