ABS light acting up?
Alright, well lately my ABS light has been coming on when I drive. It doesn't stay on and there appears to be no rhyme or reason to it. For example, today I was driving around and it came on about 20 minutes into my trip. Later when I got in my car and started it up it was not on anymore but came on for about 5 seconds later. I'm guessing there is some sort or short in the sensor wire but I'd like to get some input from ya'll. Hopefully its not serious (i'm broke as hell) but just hit me with all possible causes. Thanks ya'll.
Here's all the diagnostic ABS codes.
(94-97) ABS DTCs...
1 - ABS pump motor over-run
1 2 ABS pump motor
1 3 high pressure leakage
1 4 pressure switch
1 8 high pressure system
2 1 parking brake
3 1 pulser RF
3 2 pulser LF
3 4 pulser RR
3 8 pulser LR
3 12 different diameter tires
4 1 wheel sensor RF
4 2 wheel sensor LF
4 4 wheel sensor RR
4 8 wheel sensor LR
5 - rear wheel lock - R/L
5 4 rear wheel lock - R
5 8 rear wheel lock - L
6 - fail-safe relay - F/R
6 1 fail-safe relay - F
6 4 fail-safe relay - R
7 1 solenoid - RF
7 2 solenoid - LF
7 4 solenoid - R
8 1 ABS function
8 2 CPU comparison
8 4 IC self-check
Here's an article on troubleshooting the ABS. Team Integra ABS article! You should still be able to do this even though you have a 95'.
If you could post up your ABS diagnostic trouble code(s), I could further assist you.

I'll try to do that, but like i said, the light isn't on all the time. it only comes on randomly so i'm not sure if there is any actual problem. if i can catch it next time the light comes on i'll try and pull the code

Well older model Integras have a problematic ABS system.
-Exadar check your fluid level. The ECU should store codes in memory if there's a serious problem. If it's indeed low fluid, consider yourself lucky.
My ABS light comes on and stays on when my car reaches 78-85mph.
it will not turn off until my car is turned off then on again. also for some reason even when the ABS light is not on, my brake pedal/ brakes at times will make a buzz for a sec after i have come to a complete stop.

Thanks.

Thanks.
Well I posted this article above if you ever want to try and figure it out. From what I've seen/read around the internet, owners of 94-97 Integras have a somewhat faulty ABS setup. I've read about numerous pump motor over-runs which require a new accumulator and modulator to fix. This can cost an upwards of $1500 from a dealer. If this ever happened to me I'd ditch the ABS completely.
