Default Hi

Well I don't know if this will help, but I got my 96' Integra broken into recently and they completely screwed up my steering column. After the wiring and everything was fixed, the ABS light was still lit. So I asked my mechanic if he could make it go away. He stuck his hand under the dash, and pressed some sort of reset button and the light went away. You might just need to get it reset somehow. I don't know if this helped somehow, but its just an idea.

I would suggest you to disconnect the main fuse( which you can find in the fuse box under the hood) for 5 minutes, then reconnect.Hope it'll help

Probably similar to my '95 Integra... ABS has it's own little fusebox, & you pull fuse 1B or something...

But if you haven't fixed the problem, the lamp will just set itself right back on. Jumper your service connector like you're reading ECU errors. Watch the ABS light blink:
long flash & long pause - this isn't the code yet.
short flashes = first digit of code
1-second pause
short flashes = 2nd digit of code
long pause
next code, or the same code keeps repeating...

If you disconnected the battery cable and the abs fuse and it still comes back on then there is a problem with the system, 90-97 accords have had a lot of problems with the abs system. Some of the problems are 1] If you remove the resovor cap and look inside of it and see metal shavings then the abs pump is bad 2] If the resovor is really low on fluid the the tall canister next to the pump is leaking. Either one of the problems will not effect your braking system. You can remove the abs fuses to disable the sysem and just ignore the light [ put a postit over the light so you dont have to look at it]. It is really expensive to replace either one of these parts.

Is it really so difficult to read the error code? Then we won't have to guess.
