I ran across these guys on eBay:

Pardon Our Interruption...

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.

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!

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.

I just came upon this problem for a customers car! The abs module is bad but they can have either loose connections inside but when all 3 light come on at the same time it’s normally module issue. Great job finding one for so cheap everything I’ve seen was 350+ but I got one from a local junkyard and it did the trick!

My emergency brake, ABS, Lane change warning, frontal collision warning and vehicle stability light all came on at the same time. I do know that when these lights are on, the abs, lane warning and frontal collision systems aren't working. They do go off once in awhile but usually the lights are on.. I wonder if the same module will take care of this. A reputable mechanic told me it could be $1 - $3,000 at honda. It was just beyond his scope. Any thoughts ??

I just watched this video before getting on this page. I hope it helps

Somehow this thread never made it to my feed, until now. I have a 2012 CT EX 2.4L. My ABS and traction control lights are on. Rarely they both turn off, and they are never flashing. I have had a couple hard braking situations, and the brakes did lock up, as in no ABS. I also read comment #20 by "dandrzejewski" and ordered the ABS module for A LOT less than what the Stealership wanted, hopefully I can find something for the traction control at a much easier price as well.

My 2012 EX-L developed the same issue. Took it to local mechanic and they identified the failed VBS module which will cost around $2,500 including the part, installation, reprogramming and a brake line flush. Yikes. The problem gets worse in that the part is on “perpetual back order” with no date for its availability. That diagnostic cost $120. Reluctantly I went to the local dealership. Therein the price of the part was reduced by about $200 but the part remains unavailable. Double Yikesl. Even if the stork dropped a newborn module into my crib I can’t install and program the thing. So can we pressure Honda to fix this situation in some Way? Are they listening?

Did they fixed your module ?

The link for the eBay place was helpful. I got a mechanic to remove the module, mailed it and they repaired it. It's been installed for less than 12 hours but the lights are off and haven't returned after an hour of driving.

 

[14EXLCTSW]

No but I did buy one off eBay for $1300. Brake an abs lights still on though, ldw and fcw system failed gone. I believe I have to bring it to Honda to have it reprogrammed. Everything else checked out to be ok. Will let you guys know.

In the thread someone posted the eBay link for a repair. I used it and sent my model for repair. Had my mechanic put it back in and lights are off. Didn't have to program it or flush the brake lines.
