VSA is Honda’s electronic stability control, called Vehicle Stability Assist. If your Odyssey begins to slide, VSA will reduce engine power and activate the antilock brakes to regain control by applying brakes to individual wheels. This is typical of a modern electronic stability control system.

On the Odyssey, VSA comes standard on all models. 2010odyssey

The Honda front wheel drive VSA has a weakness as all these type systems do. When both wheels are slipping you find youself in grid lock going no where. That's when you can try turning VSA off to get some wheel spin. Sometimes that's enough to get you going in the snow again.

ok my question is. I had an accident on the right side of my car and I have the vsa light on that happened after the accident also I have problem with the tramission all these problems started after the accident
