NEED HELP!!!

I have 09 Accord 4 cyl Auto. My Tpms Light has been on since summer , never really paid attention in summer but NOW in WINTER I need to remove the traction control and I can't. I'm getting stuck at every street corner or little hill.
I have non original mags on the car with no snsors, not the problem because last year I could have pushed the traction control button and it was off.

Need help!!!

So you don't have TPMS sensors and wonder why it's on? You need to have TPMS sesnors in your wheels and then verify they're working properly with the TPMS system.

And why is traction control causing you problems? You should have TCS and VSA enabled when driving in snow. I'd be more suspicious of what tires you have installed being the issue.

the issue of being on is not the problem, it's that I can't remove the traction control anymore.Last winter it wasn't an issue I pressed the vsa button and the car advanced better( when in alot of snow) this winter same tires and rims and now the traction control stays on. Maybe reset the TPMS ?? can that be done?

If you have no sensors installed then your vehicle will think something is wrong with your tires. If something is wrong with your tires, related systems like VSA and even ABS will not function properly. Install some sensors in your winter rims and this will solve your problem.

the thing is last year, the vsa was easilly removed by pushing the button, and now, nothing no reation when pressing the vsa.

Sometimes it better NOT having the TCS on. For example, when you need to go up a really icy hill and have to get a run at it. You just rev the crap out of it and spin all the way up, but it's better than having the TCS on and taking away your momentum.

In order to disable VSA, the TPMS must be working properly. So, get your TPMS sensors installed in the wheels you are running now and get the TPMS fault taken care of.

you might of damaged the button-slight possibility
other than that take it to honda to check the data list
but running without tpms shouldnt be a problem

are you sure you were running no sensors last winter? im 100% sure that the vsa will not disengage if the tpms light is on for certain hondas.
