Default Fifth Generation Accord ABS question.

Good morning fellas!

My uncle has a 1996 Accord EX and his ABS light came on. I have discovered that there is a way to read a check engine light code but does the same apply to the ABS. Is there fault codes for the ABS system and could they be read with a diagnostics tool. The ABS light is on but nothing seems to feel wrong with the car.

You might want to check the ABS reservoir, everytime my fluid level goes low my ABS light comes on. I have a leak somewhere

go here and click on Rescources... it tells you how to get the codes and what each one means. ABS codes are near the bottom of the page.
