VSA, BRAKE & ABS dash lights on

Ok folks - I received no input on this one so I'm kinda thinking it's not a common problem.

The best price that I could get for the part brand new was around $865, so I went used.

I used car-part dot com to find a brake module for $75 shipped from car with 35,xxx miles (they had a couple, and I had a choice). The module is on the passenger side of the engine bay with 4 brake lines going out, and 2 going it. 3 mounting bolts for the bracket. It wasn't terribly difficult, but you'll need some extensions and swivel sockets to do the job, which only took an hour.

The used part did the job - I hope this helps save someone else some significant cash, because Lord knows that any Honda Stealership will charge $1,200 plus for the part and an hour or two of labor plus diagnostic charges.

To be fair, we did use a professional scanner to read where the faults were coming from, so we didn't just "guess" at what needed to be replaced.

I sure hope this helps someone out there!

So I have a 2012- EX-L
Same exact problem... had a friend of mine try replacing the wheel sensors.. which needed to be replaced because they were welded in on the front wheels... but of course that did not fix the issue.. he did some further research and found exactly what you said and research says it’s a issue with many Honda’s.... he can fix it but I just checked and I still have the extended warranty.... so I’m taking it in... we will see if they will cover it before I have to come out of pocket.

So.... I took it to the shop.... it was covered by the extended warranty.... so thankful because total was almost $1700.
Thing is I had to wait till they got the part and then when picking it up there was another crosstour parked right beside me... as I was leaving the owner came out and I asked what did they have fixed.... THE SAME EXACT THING.. abs modular... and the starter.. theirs was a 2014. Said they also had the modular replaced in their 2010 they had a few years ago. Both were covered by the extended warranty.
This was at Carmax... they had to send it to another shop to have it programmed... got some new tires .. riding like it’s brand new

For a few weeks these 3 lights come on for no apparent reason: VSA, BRAKE, and the ABS logo. Sometimes they stay off, sometimes on. No noticeable difference in how the car runs (but haven't had to hit the brakes hard or slide in snow/ice).

Tried flushing the brake fluid (was dark) but lights didn't change. A friend has a professional Honda mechanic friend who read codes and my VSA Modulator Assembly has gone bad. It's $865 from cheapest online Honda parts place I can find (so far), and I'm trying to find a used one. The part number is 57111-TP7-A01 in case anyone else has this issue.

Will keep you all updated and I welcome suggestions for lowest-priced Honda parts!
