Great video . I have a 05 that did same thing . I replaced the entire spool valve which that oil pressure sensor came on . And it fixed it. I got the spool valve new for a great price off Amazon. Thanks again

Super thankful for this video, I had the exact same issue and solution. My oil pressure sensor somehow didn’t have an o ring at all. Installed one and the car is back to running perfect.

I have a 2007 Honda Pilot and you described exactly what my issues are with my Pilot. Now I know and this week will order a replacement part and O-ring to see if we can remedy the issue. Thank you once again for your help and saving a lot of $$.

You’re amazing!! Thank you for being so detailed and helpful with price!

May God bless you and your family bro, may God give good health and protect u and your family.. Amin

Awesome video I even liked the quick recap at the end. SUBSCRIBED!

Appreciate the knowledge/experience sharing. Great job. Thanks

Appreciate the knowledge/experience sharing. Great info and thank you for the llinks.

Outstanding. My daughter had been sideswiped and the VSA light / engine chugging started happening right after. We thought it had to do with the wreck, but after searching RU-vid and finding this video, my daughter fixed it in 10 seconds. Oil was very low, she added two quarts and voila! problem solved. Thanks for clearly explaining what is going on.

Thanks man! I am all set to tackle this tomorrow!

Thanks! Gonna follow this and sounds right. Saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of hassle!

Damn bro I watched a lot of videos about this you are very very very very good everybody else was Gilbert Gabbert much love thank you for straightforward directions and knowledge and while may I say you found out it wasn't even the part he was actually a leakage it's possible there is a crack or just needed to be sealed. I hope you have more videos

Great job.... Limp mode is my enemy... but not any more..,. Big thanks!

My 07 Odyssey is doing this exact issue. Thanks for the advice! I really thought my rocker arm was broken and that would have been more than i could have afford.

My oil is black, low, thin like coffee. Lol! Just inherited from my son. Tuned it up. Was running on 3 cylinders. Smoked like crazy. Burning crud in heads. Then VSA light comes on. Thanks to your vid explaining possible low oil. Cool! I'll go add some now. And some gas... Be back with update.

Your channel is helpful, thanks

Thank you, you helped me a lot with this video!!!!!!

This was a life saver, for me it was just the O ring. I replaced the sensor to no fix. What made my engine act up was extreme cold.

Thank you so so much! You don’t know how much this video helped me fix my car

Thanks for your help it was a blessing changed oil great now

didnt fix the vsa but the car run a lot better, thanks

Ive had this problem for over a year. I wish I would have searched for the solution 8 months ago and saw this when it was new!

On the sensor, does the O-ring go around the actual screw part that screws in or does the O-ring go around the Silver Ridge that looks about as big as a half a dollar? Thanks

Hi hun, I had to jam on the brakes and heavy traffic and ever since then the VSA and the Little triangle comes on. I'm watching your videos and they're incredibly helpful. But if you've come across that. Or anything like that shoot me a message. Because I asked all kinds of questions so I can understand. I've had a couple of strokes so that's why I have to ask so many questions. Thanks again hun

thanks for sharing! i owned an used 2009 odyssey and i am getting tired on all the problems that its being giving me

thank you, 2007 odyssey EXL, same code P2647, I checked the oil, it was dark, and dirty, but the maint minder said 20% life left, I went ahead and changed it early 5w20 synth Blend high mileage Havoline and new ST6607 filter, figure why not , change it now. going to have to do that always. so changed it . not long ago changed the valve cover gaskets and intake gaskets and spark plug grommets. The initial driving, after the oil change, maybe 20 miles getting up to 45 mph or so , in town local roads no issues. Still have to keep eye on it. next step maybe that screen and or sensor / o Ring. That sensor you had in your hand I think said Denso. which I think is the OE or about the only brand I would use to to replace it.

Dude you’re very helpful!

youre a gem. God bless you🙏🏿

Te agradezco hermano. En vdd hice todooo lo que tu hiciste. Limpie el vtec, cambie sellos, cambie el sello de la base de aceite, y sigue igual. Ya mande pedir la pieza. Espero sea eso

I got the VSA light after changing the front brakes. Does that light comes out also for brake fluid low pressure?

Could the vtec solenoid and oil pressure sensor on the other side also be causing these kinds of issues?

thank you sm for this video! This helped me sm, my old car had tranny failure so when it started sputtering that was my first fear. Now i know it’s completely different 🫶🏻

Semi sharp turns seem to be causing my VSA warning indicator to come on, vehicle goes into limp mode and engine shakes…it’s a 2006 odyssey with 106,000 miles and I have it serviced at dealership where purchased. I only drive 5,000 miles/yr…really worried that dealership will take advantage of situation. Any ideas…haven’t tried autozone yet for the reader and codes but sure don’t see any similar situations in the comments. Thank you.

So quick question I have a 2010 honda odessy but I notice I don't have no power at times I put it in drive it do not move and in reverse it do not move I would have to shut it down then start it back then it move but after I little drive the power go's again

Thanks Man U save me lots of money to mechanic 🎉

27mm socket wrench was the correct size to unscrew the sensor in case anyone is wondering.

Which o-ring fit. Does it contact just below the threads or around the next level down.

Thanks for the video... replaced the oil pressure sensor and the VSA light has not come back. There was no o-ring on the one I removed; hondapartsnow shows a 13x1.5 mm o-ring, so I ordered one and it seems to large. Still put it on but I don't really think it needs one. Anyhow, all good now thanks.

could installing a SVCM Controller also fix issues, ( VCM Delete )

I just got a 2007 odyssey that has this issue so I will try all of the solutions and see how it works out

Thank you for saving my van!!!!

Thank you for the explanation

Thanks alot! but from honda parts the correct sensor is 37240-R72-A01 not 37260-PZA-003, at least for 08 odyssey LX. also it would M10 so you can select O-ring. Honda sensor is

What number of deep socket can be used to unscrew this sensor? I tried 24MM but it’s a bit short. Does anyone know the correct/exact size? Thanks 🙏

Great video thanks hope you're still monitoring this, does that o'ring fit around that lifted section? Probably a stupid question but, I got a couple from Lowe's that seem to fit around it and tighten it, it still happens though when the car gets really warmed up it'll come on and give me that signal, thanks

How's that amazon part holding up a lot of the other ones are expensive

Well figured out the main issue the VVT oil pressure switch was faulty reading 43 lb of pressure at the VVT spool ( located on the rear head driver side on the 05 on Odyssey) I overlooked it because I assumed more pressure is good lol not for a Honda. My van has 275,000 miles the VVT has never really worked properly since I've owned it a little over a year and it had okay power not very good gas mileage though. It had a severe oil leak coming from the front and rear valve cover so I replaced them did a valve lash, replace spark plugs let me tell you something this thing runs like it's brand new VVT worked excellent how about 2 days check engine light came on O2 sensor bank 1 which still ran perfect not the best gas mileage and the VVT was not working anymore but did not throw a light, not quite sure if it's just a fluke and went bad or if I overlook plugging something back in maybe a ground wire mind boggled about to start ripping back into it. I do not like the way it runs when the VVT turns on and burns oil so I'm going install a 87 ohm resistor at temperature control sensor to trick the ECM

Cars drive me crazy. If I had the money I would never bother fixing it myself, but I'm homeless and sleep in my Honda Odyssey 2008 that I got from a junkyard. I have no choice.

Thank for your help they sensor is 35$ now

This video found the easiest possible repair. What's the next area to check if this isnt the problem?

THANX HOMIE !!!! U SAVED ME A LOT OF BREAD!!!

I have honda odyssey 2007. I am getting exact same issue with VSA light and sometimes oil pressure light flashes. I went to a mechanic for scan. he found code P0344, P0304, P0305. I am not sure what I should do. I went to couple of mechanics - some of them dont know what the code means.one guy suggested to change timebelt (not sure if that helps) which cost $1000. please advise.

Hoping this fixes my issue fingers crossed

Thanks bro ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

Great video

Hi I've Honda Odyssey exel 2006.. recently I change the motor mount after change engine vibrating when it is idle. Could you please tell me what the issue..

Help to find where is the vsa sensor place outside the car i find the front one where is the rear one

So what if the vsa light goes off due to the VTEC solenoid gasket leaking oil onto your alternator, and causing the alternator to fail? Please tell me the easy fix for that. Considering the vsa light can go off for something so simple as low tire pressure, and voltage deficiencies there's almost no easy fix except for this specific scenario...

Had to replace oil pressure sensor on 2007 odesssay , didn't know where it was so went to garage and that mechanic found where it bongs and go him to replace it gonna cost $400 ! Plus laborr ! Then looked on internet auto zone $175 and ather places 200 or more and then found for $ 10 ! Bought that and put in and noore problem ! That was over a year ago and still working fine ! So shop around !

good info, thanks

I have this issue plus white smoke. No indication of a blown head gasket or overheating. Any ideas?

my crv 2008 honda, the vsa light came on and my car started jerking, what could that be, plus my dasgboard flashes sometimes esp. after it rains a lot, and when im at a stand still the car revs up from 1 to 3 and down and again over and over

I didn't notice a mileage anywhere. Do you remember what the mileage was when this issue occurred? Thanks in advance!

Do you remember what size o-ring you used? About to try this fix on my 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L.

Awesome we are having that exact same problem but no obd2 codes vsa light on and engine lacks on power

My vsa light came on yesterday and now my check engine light is on. It stops when I turn off car and turn back on but it seems to get worse. The van sounds a little loud the oil level is good don't see leaks. Wondering if the sensor is just sensitive and turned on the engine light or it worse. Having it looked at tomorrow. Just looking for any advice. Thanks great video

My 2.4l k24 had a vsa check engine light combo and I turned off the car and restarted it and the vsa went away, but the check engine light stayed

VSA light: It came in my wife 2007 Honda Odyssey twice on long distance trips. What bother me the most was the cruise control disengages. I was really pissed.

Thanks!

Hopefully you still monitor this, I have 2008 Odyssey and it’s giving me the VSA with the hazard triangle. When I got it tested, the guy at told me it was a misfire in cylinder one. Thoughts?

Hi, Thanks for the video. I am getting the VSA light with no engine line. I get a small hesitation while accelerating from a stop (or rolling stop) and then i get power back and a bit of a surge. This happens only when vehicle is hot. I just took the Vtec Solenoid valve a part and the vtec screen has some small pieces in it - but not bad. Would you recommend changing the Oil pressure switch? I have never gotten any codes - but i am going to take it again and see if we can find any codes.

Buenas tardes amigo, disuxlpa yo tengo el mismo problema pero ya le cambié los empaques fue lo primero q hice, después mandé pedir la pieza completa , me llegó nuevo y el problema sigue....que podría ser?? Primero con la válvula vieja marcaba el código p02646 y ya después con la nueva me marca el p02647, y se acelera hasta las 3 mil revoluciones..y se prende el check y el VSA ... Ojalá me puedas ayudar...gracias

Hello, I bought this van used from a family member. The vsa light and engine light have been on since I purchased. Currently the car will turn on but only stay on for a few seconds. Leading up to this the problem was the engine was starting to go slower and die. Have you had this problem? Its a 2009

Hey Riggs my name is Manny and I would like to comment on what you discovered for the Honda Odyssey or for any other Honda I was watching your video after discovering about the Vsa system and it came to the conclusion that mines is a little different when it comes to the engine my sensor where you described that might be is not there so I would like to know is there the same sensor that you showed on your video somewhere else on the back of that engine or anywhere in front because I'm sure that most makes and models of the Honda Odyssey is different but everything else is the same is just the way that it's put that what was told to me my Odyssey is a 2006 LX and if you can help me pinpoint exactly my problem then God bless you I don't have a problem installing or getting it going I go above the 3500 RPMs it shifts pretty good I know that I have dirty oil which I have to clean I'm thinking about getting it flushed or just putting in good oil for now cuz I know it takes 10 quarts to do the whole thing for the transmission but then yeah I don't want my transmission to slip since I bought it I haven't changed the oil besides the engine and right now definitely trying to rack my brain into figuring it out until I stumbled upon your video I'm giving it a thumbs up because I do like what I see and you do get to the point and I'm most appreciated if you can reply in an earlier matter if you can definitely find out if there's another sensor just like the one you have on your video thank you

good job

If it was the o ring where was the "pressure" going out to? Wouldn't you have had a puddle under the van if that had anything to do with it???

Mate my civic 2007 is showing VSA on and engine light flashing. Diagnosis is showing p303, I put bad fuel and after that the VSA light came up. Mechanic said gasket is ok compression is fine but he found a bit of oil with the spark plug. No one could really figure it out.

Thank you

We disabled VCM on our 2010 Honda Odyssey. We stopped consuming oil and we saw zero impact on MPG. We get 20.5 MPG average. 157,000 miles. Recommend disabling VCM on the 3.5. Thanks for this tip. I’ll know where to look if I get this issue.

I subscribed

Will the VSA make the van not start at all?. I am having a hard time getting my vehicle to start.

My car is doing this. It says I am 128 miles past due oil change. Is it ok for me to drive 15 miles to get oil change.

You did t talk about the engine shake and what that was or how to fix it ?

Good video but there are many things that can cause the VSA and check engine to come on. I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and have this persistent problem. VSA, Check Engine and vibration. Oil and filter is new. Transmission fluid clear and new, new battery, new Denso alternator, new rack and pinion, new administrator arms, new power steering pump, new serpentine belt, new shocks and struts. I am going to get the codes checked again. First time, no codes came up. Friends are suggesting oil treatment. My car has 186,000 on it. I have a lot of money into it and don’t want to give up on it. I have had prior alternator issues and finally just put in a Denso. No more battery light coming on. But after 30 to 40 minutes of driving, the VSA and Check Engine light come on and I get light vibration.

Leave me a comment if this video helped you make that family truckster work!

Will this work for my 2011?

To back I did not see this video. I had the exact same issue. I had Engine check light, VSA, ABS, Airbag, Error code P2649, P0962, P0966, 0970, 0962, P0966, P0970. Honda dealer said the issue was bad ECU ground. They did not want to explain in depth What causes it. I don't think it was ground.

We changed the thermostat on my 2005 and after that we drove it and it was fine but then the vsa light came on and the breaks aren't working right and it's also revving without us touching the gas, it even revs while it's sitting in park. It wont go over 3,000 rpms when we hit the gas

#BINGO! Very helpful video. Thank U!

Can you tell me how to fix a 2007 Honda Pilot with the same error code?

Our CRV has all this except 3500 rpm’s. Ours is 2800. Anything past 2801 it jerks once in limp mode

Mine comes on at random. It usually shuts off after about 25-30 miles. Is it anything to be concerned about?

Hey rigg I also own a 2006 odyssey van and After getting my radiator and water pump replaced last year to avoid my overheating issue, I now get the VSA light along wit the check engine, and feels like the car just downshifts when I try to accelerate. The shop I took it to doesn't seem to know what the issue is as they couldn't figure out what it is that causes the light to come on and the car to downshift. I also took off the part you showed and didn't see any O-ring on it, and when I asked places like auto zone what type it needed, they told me that part don't use an o-ring. My question is, do I need to put an o-ring on that part or not? Also would the knock sensor have anything to do with the light coming back on? If ya can help that would be awesome.

Comment fixer cette problème de lampe vsa en français svp

So I have a 2011 Honda Pilot Touring and I am having this same problem. My VSA, VTM-4 and check engine light is flashing. I took it to orielys and codes read I have misfires so we changed my spark plugs but problem is still happening. I took it to a mechanic and they told me since I changed spark plugs it could be the coils, we changed it and we have same problem. I took it to a second mechanic and he told me it could be injectors we changed them and same problem!!! 😭 at this point your video is making more sense than what any of these mechanics have told me. My question is do you think what you did in your video would also help me? 😭😭

Is there any way to clean those

Where’s the link to order this

I don't know if this will help anyone but I was able to fix constant P2647 and going into limp mode (after oil change) by disconecting negative battery and turning the key and headlight on to drain capacitors, after that I let the van idle relearn for about 15 minutes turned it of for about 30 minutes and started right up without the code coming up drove it around no codes.

Great video, going to try and fix this weekend. Could you post a link to how to clean the screen? Not sure what to call it to search for video on RU-vid.
