Default VSA switch?

Hi, i have a 2001 accord euro r (cl1 chassis) and i know for a fact that it has VSA because it has the yellow "!" on the dash and the yellow "VSA" on the dash aswell. I would like to turn it off as i know it limits the power to the wheels but i cant seem to find a switch or anything. Is my car year too old for a VSA switch? If so how would i go about turning it off? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

2001 Accord V6 in the US and Canada supposedly had the TCS system and the on/off switch was located to the side of the driver's lower dash.

For newer Accords (e.g. 8th gen), the VSA on/off switch is also located on the side of driver's lower dash.

So check if you have such a switch at the similar location as shown in the image for the 2001 Accord V6.

I am aware of that with your initial post. As there are not a lot of available resources for the euro spec. Accords here, I am posting where it is located on older and newer U.S and Canada Accords. It would make sense that the on/off switch be located next to the driver.

On my 2009 Accord, I shut it off when I want more power on a take off, in dry conditions of course.

nope (sorry for the late feedback), it's confirmed i do NOT have a VSA switch to allow me to turn it on and off at will. However my car DOES have VSA for sure, has the VSA light and the "!" light and i can feel and see wen it kicks in. So i guess we'll have to get into the "under the hood" solution of turning it off....

Any idea?
