I am sad to inform fellow civic owners that we cannot do burnouts with peddle dance VSA disable and e brake. Very saddened at the moment. The E brake disengages.

The warning lights that pop up afterwards seem to be a result of the computer getting confused by the fact that all 4 wheels are getting different speed readings, i.e FL: -10 mph, FR: -12, RL: 4, RR: 6.
The fronts are spinning backwards at different speeds (unless you have the Si with the LSD (i think))
The rears are moving forwards, or at least not the same as either of the fronts, and it seems like the computer just gives up and admits defeat once that happens.
Did reverse donuts on slick asphalt after a heavy rain, all the lights came on, i checked for flats and alignment and everything was good. drove for about half a mile and the lights all disappeared.
its a totally different kind of fun doing reverse donuts in a fwd car, like pushing a shopping cart backwards, very unstable.

Did vsa ever come back on? Did reverse donuts and all my lights came on, drove around in the parking lot for a bit to test everything out and all the lights went off. Now I'm wondering if vsa is still disabled.

Yes my VSA still works. My tires are getting bald and the TC light comes on whenever I floor it. 2 weeks ago I had to recalibrate my computer / Driver assist systems so idk if that helped "bring back" my VSA.

I'm not worried about my tire cuz I don't do donuts a lot. How did you go about recalibrating your computer / Driver assist systems incase I have to do that?

My tires are going bald from just regular driving. 37k on Stock continentals. I do high speed cornering alot and didn't rotate them for 7k miles so that contrubted to the low lifespan.

I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, reconnected it, then the Car recalibrate itself while driving
I'm sure there's a thread on here describing in depth, and yt videos.

If figured that was the move, I just drove around and everything reset as far as I know, my next move was to disconnect the battery if driving around didn't work. Glad to know I was taking the right steps.
