2012–2018 Acura ILX ABS / VSA Module Repair Service

If your Acura ILX ABS warning light or VSA warning light is on, the issue is often caused by a failing ABS / VSA control module. This module is responsible for managing the anti-lock braking system, vehicle stability assist (VSA), and traction control. When internal electronic faults occur, these safety systems may be disabled and warning lights can remain illuminated.

Module Repair Lab offers professional Acura ILX ABS / VSA module repair for 2012–2018 model years. Your original module is repaired and returned ready for reinstallation, restoring proper braking and stability system operation without requiring dealer programming.

What the ABS / VSA Module Does in the Acura ILX

The ABS / VSA module continuously monitors wheel speed sensors, brake pressure input, and vehicle dynamics. Using this data, it modulates braking pressure to prevent wheel lockup and works with stability systems to help maintain traction during braking, cornering, and sudden maneuvers.

When the module can no longer correctly process sensor data or communicate with other vehicle systems, the ILX disables ABS and VSA functions as a safety precaution, triggering dashboard warning lights.

Common Acura ILX ABS / VSA Symptoms

• ABS warning light remains illuminated
• VSA warning light stays on
• Traction control disabled message
• Brake warning light appearing with ABS/VSA lights
• ABS or VSA fault codes that return after clearing
• Loss of anti-lock braking functionality
• Intermittent ABS or VSA warning behavior

Why Acura ILX ABS / VSA Modules Fail

The ABS / VSA module on the Acura ILX is mounted in the engine bay, where it is exposed to heat, vibration, and environmental moisture. Over time, repeated thermal cycling and electrical stress can degrade internal circuitry, leading to communication faults and processing errors.

Drivers may first notice warning lights appearing intermittently, especially after longer drives or during temperature changes. As the internal condition worsens, the lights typically remain on continuously and ABS/VSA functionality is disabled.

What Our ABS / VSA Module Repair Service Includes

Bench Testing & Failure Verification

Each ABS / VSA module is bench tested to confirm internal electronic failure consistent with ABS and VSA warning symptoms. This helps ensure the issue is within the module rather than caused by external sensors or wiring.

Internal Electronic Repair

Repairs target known internal failure points within the ABS / VSA control module that affect signal processing and system communication, restoring proper operation of braking and stability systems.

Post-Repair Verification

After repair, the module is tested again to verify stable communication and correct operation before being returned.
