I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX 3.5L V6 with 152k mileage.

Recently, when I started my car the ABS, VSA, EmergencyBrake signs lit up on the dashboard. I turned car off and on, and it remained. I then just left it parked overnight and wanted to see it in the morning, once I started in morning the lights went off, I was relieved. But now the lights came back on again during the evening.

Attaching a picture here - Please ignore the TPMS sign, as this had always been present (unless it’s relevant too)

A few recent event notes: all 4 tires are brand new, installed them like 4-5 months ago. I do have engine oil leak on the vehicle that ruined my alternator so I had to get a new alternator and replaced Valve cover gasket set (engine oil still leaking :(

I recently had mechanic scan it with the lights on dashboard and these are all the codes he found there so many, very concerned and not sure which one to priories in fixing as money is tight right now

I would do a Ac ripple test on my alternator diodes. Connect voltmeter to alternator Battery post and a known good ground.Set on AC scale and run engine at 2000 Rpm with all accessories on. Your maximum allowable AC voltage is 300 millivolts ie .3 volts.if this test exceeds 300 millivolts, I would replace the alternator. Better yet, if you can duplicate the symptom, unplug the electrical connector on the alternator and take it for a test drive. See if problem goes away with the alternator unplugged. You say you have recently replaced your alternator. Did you have any of these issues before you replaced the alternator?

Last week I saw an auto electrician and they narrowed the issue down to the ABS Control Module needing replacement due to the VSA solenoid codes.

I got the part from eBay and installed it yesterday, so far it seems like the sign is gone, not trying to jinx it but it seems the issue for me was the ABS Control Module.

Thanks for the help guys :)
