Hey Guys,
I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX with 4 wheel disc and ABS. My problem is, after you take off and hit around 60 mph. the ABS light comes on. However after you shut off the vehicle the light is reset and no longer shows. Do you think it still has a code saved in the system or not? I was thinking maybe it was one of the wheel speed sensors but it'll probably be impossible to figure out which one. Any ideas?

 

You need to find the exact code that is causing the problem.
I had a problem with my 94's ABS years ago. I could hear the ABS pump coming on way to often but the light never stayed on. I believed the dealer when they said "as long as the light doesn't come on it is ok". Well they were wrong but it was too late for me and my warranty. When I took the first long trip the light did come on after 45 minutes...code was "pump over run" or something like that.

Honda agreed to pay for a new modulator/pump and I just had to pay for the labor...around $200 or so.

Too bad now my car has only $113K and the engine is making a strange noise tapping noise when hot around 2000 RPMs......they still can't tell me what the cause of it is. May be rod or main bearings...

the code is there if the light came on, jump your scs connector and count the abs light flashes on the dash. post the dtc

 

damn maybe someone abuse that accord. My abs light comes on sometime when i turn the car on, stays on then i shut it off and back on and the light is gone. but lately it keeps happening too often like 10times a yr. is the light giving me a hint?

 

Have you checked the brake fluid level in the ABS resevoir?

Are you sure that the clicking/tapping at 2000rpm isn't your valves or detonation?

 

Last weekend I decided to check and adjust the valves myself:'

I found at least three of the intake valves were on the tight side. I adj them and also at least 3 to 4 others that were somewhat loose. The engine is running nice and smooth now but when the engine is hot I still here some tapping when in PARK and raising the rpms.

My local dealer does not know what is causing the noise...possible main or rod bearing play. Maybe when the car was built they didn't use the correct bearing clearances? ...just like the valve adjustments were not correct? Can a valve tighten up with age....113000 miles?

Hey guys, ABS code showed code 48, Can anyone here identify that?
