C0062 on Honda by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The ABS/VSA modulator-control unit on 2nd- and 3rd-gen CR-Vs is a common failure that lights the ABS, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), and traction-control / brake warning lamps simultaneously and permanently. The root cause is most often an internal fault in the modulator's brake-pressure sensor or cracked solder joints on the internal circuit board, frequently logging code 66-1. While the safety systems are disabled, base hydraulic braking still works, but ABS and stability control do not. The genuine modulator assembly is very expensive (commonly $2,100–$2,800 in parts alone), making this a high-cost repair, though specialist board-level rebuild services exist as a cheaper alternative.
Common Symptoms
- ABS, VSA, and traction-control warning lights on together and staying on
- Brake system warning light illuminated
- VSA / stability control and ABS disabled (base brakes still function)
- Stored modulator/pressure-sensor code (e.g., 66-1)
- Lights may initially come and go before staying on permanently
How to Fix
Read the VSA system codes with a capable scanner (generic OBD-II may not show the manufacturer 66-1 code). If the modulator's internal pressure sensor / control board has failed, replace the VSA modulator-control assembly (then bleed the brakes and perform the required system initialization), or use a board-level ABS module rebuild service as a lower-cost option. Verify wheel-speed sensors and the brake-fluid level are not the cause before condemning the modulator.

Frequently asked questions
What does C0062 mean on a Honda?
C0062 stands for "Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Circuit." A chassis code indicating a fault with the longitudinal acceleration sensor, which measures forward and rearward g-force during acceleration and braking. The signal is used by ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and on some vehicles adaptive cruise control and four-wheel-drive/hill-descent logic, so those systems typically shut down and light their warning lamps. The code sets when the signal is out of range, missing, or inconsistent with wheel speed data. The sensor is usually part of the same multi-axis assembly as the lateral (C0061) and yaw rate (C0063) sensors, so these codes often appear together and point at one component. Normal base braking usually remains available. On Honda it is documented across 1 model: CR-V.
What are the most common causes of C0062?
The most common causes of C0062 are: Failed multi-axis yaw rate / acceleration sensor assembly, Water intrusion or corrosion at the sensor connector (the sensor is often mounted low, under a seat or console), Damaged, shorted, or open wiring between the sensor and the ABS/EBCM module, Failed ABS module (EBCM) internal fault, Loose or improperly mounted sensor after interior, seat, or suspension work, Low battery/system voltage producing false sensor faults, Sensor calibration not performed after replacement. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix C0062 on a Honda?
Published repair estimates on Honda range from $700 to $2,800 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
