ABS Light????

:screwy: I`ve got a 96 Si.Recently the ABS light is coming on after driving a few yards,but not at startup.Does this sound like a wheel sensor?Once it comes on,it won`t go off.Should I try resetting the ecu?The fluid level is fine.I`m trying to sell this car,and I need to get this fixed asap.I`ve already dropped the price $900 in light of this problem.Please help!!!! :screwy:

im willing to bet its a wheel speed sensor... i dont know if a parts store can pull abs codes or not... maybe take it to ahonda dealer and have them check it...

This car is a must sell...I don`t want to sink a ton of cash in this thing...Can a tire and brake guy fix this?...Nearest Honda dealer is 40 miles away.

hey..i hope you get this soon...did you check the break fluid....i have a 92 prelude and it was the break fluid that caused the ABS break light to come on...almost ruined some stuff by not having it in there....lemme know if this works....p.s. fill it up...pump the breaks..drive around a little and then fill it up again.....it will take day of driving for it to realize youve refilled the fluid.

yeah i tire guy could fix it but you still need to know which wheel speed sensor and you have to get the sensor.... you can prolly get them online

Well,

I recently had this problem, except mine would come on and off intermittantly sometimes would stay on for days at a time. Mine turned out to be a float. Maybe this could be your problem too.

Float?Where is this?

I have the exact same problem with ABS. I never bothered to investigate it since I don't need ABS, but I have always presumed that there was a problem with the ABS unit in the engine bay.

I had the codes pulled.It was a 4-1.If I am right,this is a front right wheel speed sensor.I found one on the net for 63 dollars.How hard is this to do?Do I reset the system?And How?

its pretty straight forward, take your wheel off and start unbolting the 10 mm bolts that hold the wheel sensor on, just follow it back up the knuckle to the plug... rebolt the new one one and plug it in, then unhook the battery to reset the system and your done.....
