Hi All,

I hope I am in the right forum.

I tuned the VSA off as I was trying to get out of snow.

However, after spinning for a while 30mins to 1 hour getting out of snow the ABS lights also came on.

So now the VSA light is on and the ABS lights are on and i can'turn these light off (the VSA switch does not seem to work now and the lights always on).

Is it still safe to drive and how do I turn them off?

Thanks

The wheel sensors may be dirty from the wheels spinning in the snow/mud and the snow/mud flinging around and caking everything. The sensors probably need to be cleaned and the trouble codes cleared. Remove the wheels and have a look.

If the VSA and ABS lights stay on after that, you might want to go to the dealer to have them check the car.

The car is safe to drive; but, it is in fail safe mode, so VSA, etc. is off. Get it fix as soon as you can though, so the car is functioning as it was intended.

Wild wheel spin sets the code because the ABS system wants to see all of the wheels turning. Since only a wheel or two were spinning the ABS system thinks it has two bad sensors since the rear wheels weren't spinning. Turning the car off and then restarting and going for a drive should fix it.
