    Excellent information! I have a dash full of Christmas lights on my 2010 MDX, so when I go to the shop tomorrow I will ask them to check this first! Probably saved me a bundle of cash!

    Thank you sooooo much for posting this simple instructive video. I have a 2015 Honda Accord and all of the warning lights came on last night and my car failed to start (I was about 30 mile from my home). Fortunately, after a handful of attempts, the engine started but the warning lights stayed on. This morning soon after following your instructions on displacing the VSA fusible links from the box housing, I noticed that all the fuses were intact but there was debris along the blades. I cleaned off the blades with CRC electrical contact cleaner and placed the VSA fusible links back in its designated slot. All the warning lights ceased to be visible. THANK YOU!!!

    I have a 2016 Honda pilot AWD Touring. Same problem. All the lights came on at one time and didn’t go off on restart. I removed all of the fuse bars in fuse boxes A and B. None of the fuses were blown. However, after spraying electronic contact cleaner on all of the exposed contacts, I reinstalled and all of the lights went away. I hope this is some kind of a fix. Thank you for your video. Excellent information and probably saved me a bundle of money. By the way, I found that fuse box A was very dirty inside. It appeared that the rubber seal was not installed properly from the factory.

    I have 2012 Acura MDX, 130K mileage, last week three lights appeared and four messages like Check Trailer Stability Assist, check VSA, ABS and SH-AWD. I already faced issues in winter when fob key was not opening the door lock, fob has new battery so I knew there is something inside the car and now in normal temperature sometimes lock was working and sometimes not. I called CAA and person checked the battery and said battery and alternator is good but your battery is 6 years old, normal battery life is 3-5 years so it is your choice to change it now or later. I decied to change it now but after that lights and messages were still present, even I checked after 10 hours in the night and still lights and messages were present. Next day in morning, after 24 hours, when I started then all three lights and four messages gone. I was really happy and now everything is working fine. Even I checked the Acura self diagnosis and it didn't show any error, all were green. It was just a weak battery problem but the messages were scary :).

    This seems to be typical of honda and acura. All warning lights flash: VSA, ABS, Check Engine, SRS, EPB, etc. Can a weak battery cause this? A bad battery cell? Disrupting all electronic systems, modules and circuits? If the main relay is not blown, can you perform a "hard start"?
