It is possible it may need to be cleared by a dealer. It could be the steering angle sensor or one of the other sensors the VSA system uses. Hopefully just needs to be reset and no sensors need to be replaced. There are a lot of sensors involved but they should be able to tell you why it is on.

These always fail, well in the uk at least and across the Honda range. About £1500 or more from Honda here but there are companies here that sell refurm VSA modules for £160 with a lifetime warranty. Have a google over your way, if not I can share the link for the UK module, not sure it will fit LHD drive though...

wouldn't it make sense to just go back to whoever installed your softtop and tell them to fix it?

Same situation here. VSA light is on and I can't figure out why. Tried the VSA button but no help, The brakes were worked on a couple of weeks ago but this just started today. Fluids levels are full.
Will try a re-flash later today. All comments or advise welcome.

Might be worth it to double-check the wheel sensors to make sure they aren't loose, damaged, or covered in filth. They come out with a single bolt and you can wipe them clean with a rag. I don't know if that would trigger the light or not, but it won't cost anything to check them.

Checked fuses today...they're good.
topped off brake fluid
took it to a Acura dealership (through a buddy), they ran a diagnostic and found out saying that my yaw sensor is failing. Gonna try to swap another S's sensor and see if it fixes it.

I'll check the wheels sensors tomorrow
