I have searched the forums and have seen this is an issue a lot. Our 2009 Cr-v VSA light and ! Warning lights come on when trying to shift out of park. We have manually overrode it so we can shift. I have read other threads and they all say it is the brake pedal position sensor or brake light sensor. Are these the same thing? I cant find any parts store that know what i am talking about.
