VSA, BRAKE & ABS dash lights on

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!

I ran across these guys on eBay:


I'm thinking of sending mine to them - anyone have any experience with them? Their username is "modulerepair"
Did they fixed your module ?
Same issue here and got it fixed for 400 using a used ABS module part.

For anyone who has this issue: Don't do what the PO did! You have to computer reprogram the ABS module, and bleed/replace your brake fluid. The ABS module replacement could introduce air to your brake system and that is dangerous. For your safety, go to a repair store (bring your used ABS module bought somewhere else) to have it done professionally.

Is there any computer programming that has to be done, or is this simply a mechanical replacement, bleed the brakes, and then done ?

My daughter is having this issue with her 2010 crosstour. The lights come on when she’s idling but if she turns the car off and then back on, the lights go off for a little bit. She’s starting the drive home from Michigan today (Summer job up there), and I’m just hoping that she can make it home so we can get her car checked out here. Unfortunately it’s a 2 day drive. She is saying that so far the brakes don’t feel any different.
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!
Thank you, thank you for this information! Just had a diagnostic reading before taking it in to the dealer and I don't want to pay 1349. which is the cost for a new one on my Honda crosstour. :0(

Thank you I am currently having the same issue with mine.
