Warning Lights Chaos: Honda Vezel ABS & Airbag Alert

ABS/DSC system is not working

ABS warning light

Hey everyone! Need some advice on my 2021 Honda Vezel Hybrid (50,543 km). Recently, multiple warning lights popped up on my dash, airbag, ABS, and the whole ABS/DSC system stopped working. From what I've read, this might be related to a faulty lateral acceleration sensor. Had a bad experience with my previous mechanic, so I'm hesitant to go back. Has anyone dealt with similar warning lights on their Vezel? What was the actual problem and how much did the repair cost? Any recommendations on handling this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2018 Honda CR-V Hybrid last month. Multiple warning lights came on simultaneously, ABS, airbag, and stability control. Turned out the ABS/DSC control unit was defective, not just the lateral acceleration sensor. The repair involved replacing the entire ABS control module unit. It's a serious issue that shouldn't be ignored since it affects crucial safety systems. The job took about 4 hours at the dealership as they had to program and calibrate the new unit after installation. Got it fixed at a certified dealer because these electronic control units need proper diagnostic tools and programming. Driving without working ABS and stability control isn't safe, especially in emergency situations. Best to get it checked at a certified Honda service center. They'll be able to run a proper diagnostic to pinpoint whether it's just the sensor or the complete unit that needs replacement. Hope this helps.

Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience. That's exactly what happened to my Vezel too. I'm now considering taking it to a certified dealer after reading your reply. If you don't mind me asking, do you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for the repair? Also, has everything been working fine since the fix, or have you noticed any other issues popping up? Would really appreciate knowing before I head to the dealer. Thanks!

Hey again! Happy to update you! Yes, the total repair came to 1000€ for replacing the ABS/DSC control unit. I know it's not cheap, but honestly, it was worth every penny for the peace of mind. The good news is that since getting it fixed at the dealer, everything's been running perfectly smooth. The lateral acceleration sensor error that was causing all those warning lights to pop up is completely gone. No more warning lights on my dash, and all the safety systems are working exactly as they should. I haven't had a single issue pop up since the repair, the ABS, stability control, and airbag systems are all functioning perfectly. It's such a relief not having to worry about those warning lights anymore! Trust me, going to the certified dealer was definitely the right call, even though it cost a bit more. Just make sure they do a proper diagnostic first to confirm it's the same issue. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for all the detailed info! Just wanted to update you on what happened with my Vezel. Finally got it checked at a certified dealer yesterday, turned out it was indeed the ABS control unit that needed replacement, just like in your case. The repair took about 5 hours because they had to order and program the new unit. Cost me roughly what you mentioned, but honestly, I'm just glad it's fixed now. The mechanic was super professional and explained everything clearly. The best part? No more warning lights! All the safety systems are working perfectly again. Really appreciate your advice about going to a certified dealer, saved me from potentially making things worse with an inexperienced mechanic. Feels so much better driving now without worrying about those warning lights. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront saves trouble in the long run, right? Thanks again for helping me make the right decision!
