WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION  ).
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then back to ON (II).
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC 11-12, 13-12, 15-12, and/or 17-12 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to next step.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals between the wheel speed sensor 2P connector and the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector. Refer to INTERMITTENT FAILURES TROUBLESHOOTING  .

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector (see step  4 on ).
  7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  8. Measure the voltage between body ground and the appropriate wheel speed sensor GND terminals of the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector individually (see table).

    Is there 0.1 V or more? 

    YES  -Go to next step.

    NO  -Go to 13.

  9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  10. Disconnect the appropriate wheel speed sensor 2P connector (see WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  12. Measure the voltage between body ground and the appropriate wheel speed sensor GND terminals of the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector individually (see table).

    Is there 0.1 V or more? 

    YES  -Repair a short to power in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and the appropriate wheel speed sensor.

    NO  -Replace the appropriate wheel speed sensor.

  13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  14. Check for continuity between the appropriate VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector wheel speed sensor +B terminals (see table).

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Repair short in the wires between the appropriate wheel speed sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.

    NO  -Go to next step.

  15. Reconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector.
  16. Update the VSA modulator-control unit if it does not have the latest software (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT UPDATE  ). If the unit already has the latest software, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
  17. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then back to ON (II).
  18. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC 11-12, 13-12, 15-12, and/or 17-12 indicated? 

    YES  -Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 22P connector. If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ), then retest. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, go to 1.

    NO  -If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, replace the original VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ). If any other DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
