I have been having issues with my VSA light coming on and after, my car started vibrating and driving really bad.
I thought I was gonna have to go to a mechanic to get it fixed.
Today it was worse than ever and I watched a few complicated videos.. and then I ran across this video..
I went and got an oil change and my oil was really low... been running perfect since..
Thank you so much!!
🥰
thank you so much for posting this video!!! I, Too, was about ready to pay the dealer for a diagnosis. they probably would've charged me to "fix" all items that came up with codes. Yours is the kind of REAL help I'd be happy to pay for!! Thanks again!!
Had the EXACT same situation... Was 3 quarts low!!! Thanks for the video!!!
Your a blessing, you just saved me lot of money..thank you
Thank you -- that's exactly what the problem is! Appreciate your terrific video!
Yesterday, the wife picked up the kids fr. school and sad the VSA light came on & she couldn't go faster than 20 mph and it was shaking. This video saved my bacon. Dumped two quarts of oil in & it worked just fine. Changed the oil out later that night and everything is working great now.
Went and got an oil change and engine flush and PROBLEM FIXED! Thank you!
thanks you saved my engine:) I was low on oil
Thanks for the information...my Honda Pilot was doing the same thing your video saved me trip to the dealer.Thanks again!!
Sontanna Godwin I understand you posted this a year ago. If you have the oil changed at a lube shop or yourself make sure to use the recommended weight oil for your vehicle. I believe it’s 0W20. Verify that for sure. These vehicles are very susceptible to losing oil and a low level or wrong viscosity can give you these issues you’ve stated.
Dude, you solved my problem, thanks. I knew I had a slow oil leak but I guess it was worse than I thought and I was very low on oil. But I wouldn't have thought to even check the oil level without this video. So, thanks. We had the same symptoms - VSA warning and CEL (multiple cylinder misfire). I was ready to tow it to a shop! You prompted me to check the oil and, yes, it was embarrassingly low. Topped it off and (at least so far) she's running great. :o)
Besides the obvious oil leaks the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) tends to consume oil quite a bit. When it shuts down in eco mode from 6 cylinders down to 3 is a common issue with low oil between changes. Nice video.
2006 Honda CRV. Got the Check Engine, VSA, and Exclamation warnings as I made a left turn to pull up to a curb to drop someone off. The car started shaking and wouldn't budge - the wheel was tight and if I lifted my foot off the brake, it would stutter and shake. I turned the car off and restarted it which only left the check engine light (no VSA or exclamation). Car runs "fine" but the CE light is unnerving. I found this video and checked oil levels before I left work. It seemed low because just the tip had dark amber coloured oil. When I finally did the oil change that night, a substantial amount still came out of the engine (go figure), but I couldn't tell the exact amount. The CE light was gone after the oil change! Three days later, it hasn't reappeared! Thank you so much.
The owners manual said to turn off the vehicle and restart it to reset the VSA system.
My oil is fine any other ideas on what could be going on??
Wow this is really working for thank you and thank very much for this video you save I was paying month ago my honda odyssey and there was not lights on but after week com up 2 lights check engine light and service light I was worried I thought I get bad car and bad lucky I really appreciate for this
Thank you so much for help I was trying hard to find out what happened after watch your video found out there was no oil it was really dry because of leaking.
Appreciate you
Dude. I have the same codes with the rocker arm. Seriously thank you. I'm getting an oil change asap
Thank you for helping
Thanks for the info, I have the same problem
I just got an oil change 3 days ago, and this showed up today. Any insight? I drive a 07 crv
Had the same problem. This fixed it so far.
Great 👍 👌 it works good for me... thanks
Thanks, i will have to do this tomorrow.
I drove my car yesterday and today I found the VSA light on and the car wont start?any ideas of what could be? a week ago i saw I had 30% oil life, maybe this is why?
You just saved me $700
Went to dealer and they said I needed some rocker arm pressure switch and I just added oil and everything is working fine
I got the check charging system light and it’s causing the gauges to go crazy and vas light to to turn on and causes the van to run rough. Any ideas?
Thks........................ very helpful...................
The wrench indicator is called the maintenance minder indicator.
my cousin has a 2005 honda odyssey touring it has over 360k miles and its timing belt has NEVER been changed. she bought it new in 2005. IT doesn't burn oil and its quiet as any 2017 vehicle on the road. i mean its just a miracle the timing belt hasn't broke yet.
That is very, very unusual. Good for your cousin! Wow!
Awesome!!!! Thanks!!!
I did changed oil change nearly a month ago... does it mean I need to change again?
so what happened with your card this happened to me too I bought a Honda Odyssey 2005 and they said it had good oil in it when I bought it I check the oil regularly for the first couple weeks and then kind of stopped checking it then all the sudden my carhad that little light with the engine light come on so I check my oil and it was like almost bone-dry how that went from maintaining oil to not maintaining oil so quick I can't understand. I put the proper amount of oil in it then a few days later this VSA light came on. I don't have the skills to change the oil like you do I'll have to bring it somewhere and get it changed I checked it yesterday and it was at a good level. What was going on with your Odyssey why did it suddenly loose oil
Thank you .
Sadly I’m junking my Odyssey 2006 this week. I don’t know what’s happening to it. I think it’s an electrical problem?
2010 Odyssey EX-L, I’m at 30% oil, I started it up, VSA, triangle with “!”, and check engine popped up, turned off car and started it again, only check engine light one
Thank you for the video. So what is the wrench light for? I am also getting a TPMS light as well.
Check your tire pressure for tpms light
The wrench light means u need an oil change duh!

If you have a V-Tec engine, it is common for the engine to use about a quart of oil. It doesn't burn it though. I had this same issue and took it to Advance Auto Parts. Needless to say, my camshaft position sensor is bad. Some people have told me that it could be a stretched timing chain, but on these engines, the chain is supposed to last the life of the engine. It is probably showing low oil because of the anchor on the side of the engine. My lights come on in low outdoor temps.
+Brandon Alloe They aren't chains and the belts are supposed to be replaced every 100k but mine lasted 130k before I replaced it
+camMDR Belts are not on a V-Tec. Belt is rubber and chains are metal. If you read your Honda manual, it does not have a service interval for a chain because it is meant to last the life of the engine, but they do stretch.
Brandon Alloe V-tec just means valve timing electric control....it is just hondas version of variable valve timing and there are a bunch of engines that have this. The vast majority of Honda engines have timing belts to replace at 100k, and this is about the 3.5 Honda engine, which is found in a bunch of cars including the accord, Acura TL, Odyssey, Pilot, Acura MDX, and Honda Ridgeline. You may have a different honda engine that is older and has a chain, though.
Dear I have Honda odyssey 2006 & yesterday I got a engine check alarm then i did diagnostic with the auto lab he said 2 sensor faulty. P0135 ho2s AF Sensor B1 S1 heater & P0155 ho2s AF Sensor B2 S1 heater, How i can repair it & where i can buy it as i am living in Qatar
The title says VSA & & Check Engine light (And Vibrations), did yours have vibrations? You didn't talk about the vibrations. Mine doesn't have the wrench & it reads 80% oil life. This started on my way home last night, I have work today & my mechanic doesn't work on Sunday. In the meantime I'm gonna to gather as much info as I can. Any info is appreciated ☺️👍
Wow! Just checked. She’s bone dry and just had the oil changed two weeks ago.
Lol
Thank you! I have same year but 2005 exl model with eco drive. And there is a recall on some burning oil internally. Something to do with eco drive models. Might want to check that out. I have three same problem with my oil burning. No smoke. I'm gonna check with my dealer. Thank you so much!
So what happened? I have the same model.
Everyone has the same problem and low oil level, what if i have the same but oil level is good???
Did u ever find out what it was im having the same problem
I just starting having this issue yesterday and today. Oil level is fine.
Spark plugs and wires. That solved the problem.
Okay so my car is doing everything you said except for showing a wrench and the oil was just changed is there another reason why this could be happening
Did you end up figuring this out?
I need help its need new oxygen sensor but dont know which one i guess there is 3 for honda odyssey
Ill see if that works for my vehicle currently dont have A OBD2 tool mine broke ill test thos out
all hondas have oil indicators. its always a red icon.. you can see it above the tach when starting up
That is Oil Pressure, not oil level.
The most common oil leak is the oil filter housing gasket. It’s $20.00.
my abs trianagle warning light and vsa light on honda accord type s 2003 model how do i turn them off thanks
put wire 4 to 9 pin ;) and next you need delete ABS fault code first and then VSA. I made that and that's works without special scanner.
What's a decent SCANNER
the same problem happened to me , nothing to do with the oil , there was a piece of elastic band stuck in the throttle ,when we removed the engine was so healthy , always check it before anything else
your red oil indicator dash light appears when you started the car...this is happening to my 2009 and oil was recently changed, not low on oil. for cars with VCM, this happens sometimes due to the engine software TSB, so see if yours needs to be updated, and dirty spark plugs. spark plugs replaced and engine software updated last year, and a year later, now we have the same issue. dealership to look tonight, will comment on what the issue was when it's fixed.
What was the problem ?
What were codes when your check engine light was on?
Why on Earth would the VSA vehicle stability light come on when there is low oil?
Honda technician said that they throw the VSA code pretty much every time something else goes wrong.
I swear
Because if it was just a 'low oil' light, the average soccer mom would ignore it.
If it makes the van run like garbage, they have no choice but to deal with it.
quite ingenous actually.
i have code 84 and 75. what is it mean? vsa and /!\ light
Wow my lights came on and I checked. I placed 2 quarts in just now and the light went away. The oil is not even reading in the stick yet
Hi, i never had a honda odyssey before and I see they still in the road after 150 and 200 thousand miles. What I learn after buying one was the VCM system is not so grate. Burn oil, make vibration when switching to ECO mode after some time and engine mount wear out. This is why you probably here now trying to understand what is going on with you car. So, my 2009 odyssey was blinking engine light and VSA on. Bring it to mechanic and say the spark plug was the problem Change all 6 and now is fine. I search more of this VCM and is for sale some wire harness to solve the problem, maybe not definitely but will help a lot. The name of that is VCM NOZZLE 2 let find more about this and together let see if Really works. I will install it i let you guys know if really work.
Did it work?
Hi, yes did work. Its been a while by now and no problem. Really works. Takes away the vcm light but some time you will see it back and then go. When the temperature out side the car is hot she came back but not for long. So for me definitely did the work.
VCM muzzler?
@@SignedOff402 still working good. Not a problem. Any questions in particular?
It’s oil ring leak. A known service issue that Honda will do nothing about. You have at least one fouled plug. If it’s just one you can just keep changing it. $3500-5500 to repair at dealer. They don’t build Honda’s like they used to
Mine doesnt have low oil, it doesnt need an oil change for another 2,000 miles. But I am worried about the catalytic converter because I just listed my car for sale and cannot afford any expensive repairs before selling it - which will drag my price down and that's not good because I need to sell this van!!! It's a Honda Odyssey 2010, this should not be happening! I take excellent care of my vehicle, I just like to speed.
What did you find was wrong with it?
My 2010 odyssey is doing the same. Just got an oil change last month. Just noticed a cracked hose on the power steering.
Cannot afford any repairs nor a new 🚙 at the moment, sure wish the economy would get back up. 😔
hey I have a lights on my Dash VSA ABS and brake how can I take it off this is a 2006 Honda Odyssey

encontraste el problema de ensendidos abs brake yo tengo el mismo problema y no e podido resolber
Thx for watching pero no hablo espanol. Lo Siento.
I had this problem (07 Oddy). Your engine is low on Oil. I had a leak. When it got low....the VSA would illuminate, the car would shudder. If you restart it may clear. It also comes on in wide turns. It becomes difficult to drive, it wont shift gears, it heats up. My clue was the oil can flashing. I had to do this until the oil leak was found and repaired (mine was the filter on the spool valve assly).
VSA is 'vehicle stability assist'. This has nothing to do with oil level. VSA coordinates anti-lock braking system to encourage the vehicle to track straight during slippery conditions. The check engine came on because of running low on oil which caused other issues. IF vehicles are using excess oil a host of root causes need to be investigated.
The owners manual says to turn off the vehicle and restart it to reset the VSA system.
Turns out this IS a warning of very low oil. Mine was over a quart low when this happened!
I took my van to the mechanic to fix power steering issues and later while testing the check engine light turned on!?! Wth are they doing?!?
i have same problem.. vsa n check engine show n rpm will cut on 3..then off n start engine..vsa will clear but check engine still shown..but after drive around 5-10 minutes,vsa warning will appear n rpm back cut on 3..still find to solve this problem...
Did u solve your problem mines having the same
xBizarro Editing my 2009 accord coupe v6 has the same issue. Did you figure it out?
Your wrong the VSA light comes on as you read in your OBC codes its the rocker arm actuator which is stuck on bank a, what does that mean, your oil has nothing to do with that code. and i have had this issue and have changed my oil twice it doesn't clear. it will always go away and come back later.
my oil level says 60% and the check engine code threw a p0301 misfire cylinder1 theres barely any oil on the dipstick and i had a oil change two weeks ago
What happened finally? Im currently in the exact same situation and I try to figure it out
Didn't work for me. Same thing happened. Checked oil. Half a quart low. Added 1/2 quart. VSA and engine light both still on. Van is riding really rough.
Did you find out what wrong? most of the time, the oil pressure is low... if you replace the oil or add oil, the problem will go away. In your case, you might need to run diagnostics to see the error code.
Our car is the 2nf most expensive item we have, change its oil every 4000
This is partly caused by excessive oil consumption on this 3.5L engine. I swear, I'll never again buy another Honda.
The problem isn't Honda. It is just this particular vehicle. The Accords and Civics are extremely reliable but Honda seriously dropped the ball with their van.
My Honda Odyssey vibrates intermittently and it is always at around 2000 RPMs. Two mechanics have failed to identify what's causing it and now the check engine light is on. I'm losing my mind because even though it's 11 years old it should have several years left!
I had the same problem it was fix very weird. They changed the part #15826-RDV-J01 Is a filter part of the v tech sensor. Other malfunction at the same time was the automatic doors wont work properly .After they changed the little gasket all problems had gone. Oil change is everything 2006 Odysey EX

Photar - From the Southern Continent My Honda Odyssey Had The Same Problem And The Specialist In AutoNation Honda Told Me The Engine Mount Are Bad. That Is Around 1,500 Rpm Start To Shaking. Sorry For My Inglish
They have warning lights for everything including farting on the leather seats. Yet they don't have a low oil pressure warning light?
Also…your driver side door is open!!! 😮
Mechanic said oil is fine , we changed the pressure switch the one of p2647 code
He changed timing belt, plus took care of oil leak. And the vsa light and engine light remained on, and worse..
I can't even drive , as soon as I turn on my 2007 Honda Odyssey it turns on and vibrates scary. I have no idea now. I'm devastated I need my car
Mine says 15% oil life I'll get my oil change Friday and see. Here's hoping
Nope, not in my case. I've got the VSA light on and the Yellow Triangle of Doom on but my oil is fine. Someone somewhere mentioned it might be low brake fluid. I'll have to check that next. Or, they say sometimes it just comes on. Then I've got to watch a bunch of videos on how to turn those two warning lights off. Maybe it would help if I checked for codes, first. That's an idea.
Did you fix the problem? Just did an oil change but still VSA and triangle still there.
@@mannycarrillo8782 I changed the engine oil and filter AND transmission fluid but still have the VSA and Triangle of Death lights on. I tried that procedure using a paper clip in the connector but didn't have any luck there, either. There's a scary video about the cause of those lights coming on. Behind the right, front headlight is the ABS module and within that module is a very delicate wire that has a tendency to break - and cause the VSA and Triangle of Death light to come on. It's a pain to get at that module and it is expensive to replace it. It seems like somewhere I've run across a video about unplugging the ABS system but I might be confusing that with some problems I'm having with my 1994 F-150. I think the warning lights have left my VSA in a constantly ON mode. Maybe there's somewhere to unplug the VSA. I don't think the VSA and Triangle light will fail me on a NYS Inspection so I've kind of let this slide while I work on my other two vehicles.
Thank you for the response, i will have to check that abs module.
@@mannycarrillo8782 Any luck on the VSA and triangle? Mine comes ON when I drive along with the check engine light (no wrench). My repair man says it could be wrong with the VSA module which can run into 1000s. Wondering if anyone has an idea
VSA stands for vehicle stability assist. Nothing to do with oil pressure. Traction
True....
Tim, Am I in some sort of twilight zone...What is everyone doing with oil changes and VSA lights? Maybe I should check my tire pressure when the oil light comes on......NUTZ!
Finally someone knows what they talking about.
Ahh...light came on while rainy out. Traction makes sense!
Hey smart ass.. Vsa has nothing to do with oil is correct but vsa light up with cel meaning there a code that are related to oil.. Exl and touring model has eco mode and it oil driven.. Low oil caused the valve to not let switches back.
I've read the comments that the VSA has nothing to do with the oil. That may be true, but changing the oil absolutely fixed my issue. Give it a try. 40 bucks vs. 1000's.
How do you fix VSA ?
I have same issue on my Honda Odyssey 2013. Oil was almost gone (dont know how). I did add 4qt of oil but the engine light still keeps flashing and car still vibrates. How long does it take to get the oil in effect? Do I need to drive for some time to get the oil working? I am worried if there is some secondary issue due to lack of oil and driving will cause more damage.
Shakil Sankeshwarkar so what happened to your car did you fix it. Can you let me know please
i had yellow tri light on then engine shut down parked it next day started it tri light on again engine running mooth so send it to dealer .
these Hondas must burn a. lot of oil- low oil seems to be also my problem, after 1 qt of of new oil the light went away
by the way in my case the VSA light went on cause 1day i was traveling 6hrs away and i saw my oil percent at 10% so i assumed that all i had was 10% oild so i went ahead and 5 more new quarts of oil in my engine. i was told that i put 5 on top of an old 5quarts. the 10% only meant that i was closer for a due new oil change it does not actually mean that your low on oil. SO GUYS DONT ADD OIL, GO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I DROVE 3HOURS IT FELT LIKE MY ENGINE WAS KIND OF GETTING READY TO DIE I WAS GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR I COULDNT GO MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR THEN WHEN I PULLED OVER TOOK A 5 MINUTE BREAK, THE CAR DROVE REGULAR AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I WENT TO CHANGE MY OIL AND PUT THE REGUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL 5 OR 6 QUARTS. AND EVE R SINCE RAN SMOOTHLY. THE VSA LIGHT WAS GONE. SO I THINK IN MY CASE I OVER FILLED IT WITH OIL.
SOMETIMES THESE FOLKS THAT LIKE THIS GUY HAS THAT -200 MILES PASS DUE he might of instead of changing the oil added a quart here and there and that is what caused his VSA LIGHT GO ON SO THIS GUY HERE ISNT EVEN SURE. CAUSE THAT LIGHT GOES ON ONLY WHEN ITS OVER FLOODED WITH OIL
Not true. Mine went on bc I was low on oil. The best thing to do is to use it he oil stick and actually check the level of oil before doing anything.
You are quite naive to cars if you thought that. You shouldn’t be driving one since you cant maintain it.
Just curious “I” who are you talking to? Are you calling me naive to cars or the guy who commented above me?

Look that your car is overheating

I have all these lights on and am -999 past oil change and now after driving it for a little while the "D" for drive starts blinking...Does anyone know what this could mean?
Emma DeMarr that has to do with the transmission computer...had that same problem with an older Honda accord...check into it...
All odyssey’s like to eat oil my start after 100 000 and now 153 000 still working but like oil don’t know why all services done in time and people don’t check dipstick sawed few Honda’s dead because off it
You VCM has ruined your engine. It is causing your to burn oil prematurely..
These vans are Garbage !
Buy a Toyota Sienna they will lnever let you down
You obviously have no idea what your talking about. My 2002 Odyssey has 230,000 miles and the only work that's been done to it was replacing the fuel pump relay.
i have same problem.. vsa n check engine show n rpm will cut on 3..then off n start engine..vsa will clear but check engine still shown..but after drive around 5-10 minutes,vsa warning will appear n rpm back cut on 3..still find to solve this problem...
