You're more than likely going to have to take it to the dealer. If you want you can try disconnecting your battery for a bit and see if it goes away, but IMO it's not worth it. Why delay a problem you can have fixed under warranty so that you have to pay for it when it's out of warranty?

When that light is on and you can't turn it off it means that there is a problem with the VSA system, either something like a wheel sensor is going bad (but that would probrably trigger the ABS light too) or possibly the acutal control box is failing. When I worked at Acura the "gyro sensor" was a common failure.
