Default VSA light randomly goes on

So my VSA light came on again today while I was driving to work. This doesn't happen very often, but this light just randomly goes on and then stops.

Any ideas? It's so intermittent that I am just sitting here scratching my head.

LOL ^^

I checked the tire pressure last weekend.....maybe I have a leak? Still doesn't explain how it goes on and then off later....thanks for the suggestion, though. I'll just double check again later.

welcome to my world my friends..as a few people on this board knows..my car has been not so very nice to me since ive owned it..go to Honda..my VSA light was set off something to do with v-tec but they said the firs time the light comes on..their routine is to just turn it off and if it comes back on a 2nd time then to investigate..which i think should be done the 1st time but i dunno..they said sometimes the computer just throws codes for no reason..since its a computer and its not perfect..anyways GL with that

Are you talking about the ! light flashing, or the actual VSA light?

I've notice the ! would flash on hard pulls out of certain turns, and I assume it's due to slight traction loss, but not enough to where VSA kicks in.

LOL I am guessing you work tech support? ^^

Yeah, this happened twice before and it went away on it's own. I guess I'll just have it checked out the same time I drop my car off to get my soft top fixed.
