    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!! I have a 2019 Honda Pilot and the dealership charged me $80 to tell me the issue was a $1200 camera replacement. My fuse wasn’t blown but just taking it out and reinstalling it fixed my problem!

    Thanks Man, my wife’s 2015 RDX this morning did this even thou there was no issues yesterday when she used the car. I pulled out the links that you suggested but saw no bad fuses but I turned on the car and no warning lights all gone. Thanks I was nervous because her car was even sputtering and that stopped to.

    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"?
