I will assume that the 09+ Fit's have two TPMS warning lights (like every other newer Honda):

1) Icon of a tire! showing that a tire is low
2) TPMS light

1 = low air pressure; 2 = TPMS failure (sensors bad/missing).

I believe VSA (traction control) *cannot* be disabled when light #1 is on. However, if light #2 is on, can VSA be disabled?

I ask because I want to run snow tires and I don't want to shell out the extra $200 for TPMS sensors, but I do want to be able to disable VSA. I can live with the orange "TPMS" light for a few months.

Anyone had any experience with this?

I've done some more searching...seems like traction control (vsa) cannot be disabled with either instance of the light being on.

What a PITA.

That's shitty, I had no clue since I have a manual, but that's interesting either way.

The VSA/TCS definitely can not be turned off when the TPMS light is on. I have not been able to turn it off since getting my winter wheel/tire package on the car.

I'm not too worried about it, but it makes snow driving a little less fun.
