Fix Honda TCS light on trouble code 84
Trouble code 84 on a Honda is defined as TCS pressure sensor neutral position. This an indication that the traction control system has either lost its base calibration or there’s a problem with the ABS/TCS modulator control unit. Rather that start with parts replacement, Honda recommends performing the calibration. You can do this yourself.

1. Clear all the pending, current and history trouble codes with your scan tool.
2. Perform the TCS pressure sensor neutral position memorization procedure.
3. Clear the codes again
4. Test drive the vehicle
TCS pressure sensor neutral position memorization procedure
Key in the OFF position
