If both the vehicle stability assist (VSA) and check engine light (CEL) illuminate at the same time in Your 2007 Honda Accord, it indicates that the car's computer has detected an issue with the system responsible for maintaining stability during driving. While this is the general theory, the likely cause could simply be a loose gas cap. Yes, really. If you've taken a turn too quickly, you may notice this happening. The VSA signals wheel slippage or uneven wheel speeds, particularly when turning, which can lead to tire spinning. The VSA works to prevent excessive tire spinning to save fuel (hence why a loose gas cap can trigger the error) and can be confused by sudden cornering maneuvers that differ from normal highway driving. Another possibility is that your engine is misfiring, a common issue in Hondas with V6 engines - a problem that led to a class-action lawsuit against Honda, resulting in the company covering all necessary repair costs.
