Default 1994 Accord Weird buzz and ABS light

i dont own this accord, its actually my girlfriend, but she has had this problem since she was a senior in high school (she graduated high school in '02). she thought nothing of it, but i feel there is a major problem since the buzzing continues the entire time the car is on. what do you guys say?

i thought maybe the pump because it kept clicking on and off, or maybe its as simple as a sensor somewhere. its not the fluid level's, they are all full, and i've already checked all the fuses (under hood in abs fuse box, main fuse box underhood, and next to driver foot). is there somewhere on this car that i can read an ECU code, like i do on my legend (located under passenger foot)?

thanks all for your help in advance.

buzz? like a metallic rattle?

if that's the case, a heat shield or piece of the exhaust lining came loose.

no, like the pump clicking on, and then clicking off. more like a *errrrrr.......errrrrrrr" every like 3 seconds.

also, is there a place to check the ecu codes?

if the buzz stopes after the ABS light comes on then it's your ABS modulator check the fluid level as they are known to leak.

Can you go under the hood & pinpoint the location of the noise? Sound like the ABS pump motor which is supposed to run & pressurize the ABS system at startup. It's normal for that thing to run for maybe 10 seconds, then it stops & the ABS light goes out.

You can bleed your ABS modulator to remove air, just having the reservoir full isn't enough. Still, being 11 years old, maybe a pressure switch is bad or ??

Do you know how to jumper the SCS connector for reading ECU error codes? Do the same thing, only it's the ABS lamp that you watch. Long flash & long pause are first, that's not part of the code. Count flashes for 1st digit, short pause, more flashes for 2nd digit of code. Long pause then flashes for the next code. I've got a code list for '95 Integra, I think it might be the same for your car but not sure.

The SCS connector is a small blue plastic 2-wire electrical plug that's got nothing plugged into it. I'm not sure but I think it's buried somewhere behind the ashtray in your car?? I hope someone who actually owns a '94 can help you out.

Bend a paperclip to connect the 2 wires together to each other. Put in that paperclip/jumper & turn on the ignition (don't need to start the engine). Then watch the warning lights flash...
