95 Prelude Vtech Abs Light Won't Go Off
I Have A 95 Prelude Yhat The Abs Light Comes On It Does Not Come On When I First Start It It Will Come On About 30 Seconds After I Start Driving Any Suggestions Thanks

Check your brake fluid in your master cylinder.
|
Fluid Is At Right Level
|
Check the ABS code its giving you.
|
where is the jumper wire at on the prelude
|
Behind the center console on the drivers side.
|
I would guess a abs sensor or pump overun like lack of fluid or bad pressure switch where the pump will start spooling for 2 mins after you start to drive and buzz until the light comes on. check the code the SCS connector is in the center console behind the radio on the left. I would guess a code 1 as it's common code.

It Does Not Come On When I First Start It It Will Come On About 30 Seconds After I Start Driving To fix this simply remove the wheel speed sensors and clean all the surfaces, then reinstall with the correct air gap. If this does not remedy the problem, it could be caused by a bad wheel speed sensor. Most other ABS faults will throw the light on startup or after the brakes have been depressed going down the road. |

This is a common issue that will arise with ANY ABS system. It is (normally) caused by the wheel speed sensors getting dirty and not being able to read (i.e. dirt, debris, grease, RUST, etc on the hub... it is a magnetic sensor).

My girl's 95 SE has the same problem... The light only comes on after the car has traveled on the road... Like 10 feet or so... I've downloaded the manuals, and it appears it is not the ABS system itself, cause as Lynxx has said, it is usually caused by the sensor not being read... Originally we thought it was the fact that the rear-right wheel caliper was "siezed" slightly, meaning it would cause the wheel to rotate with some interference, which would cause the sensor to read the wrong value, or not read at all... Tell tale signs were the smell of burning brakes after a long drive... Well, I replaced the caliper, and it still has the same problem... So, I'm going to check this weekend and I'll post up what I find out... |
the best way to go about it is to read the trouble code as any other way is just a guess wasting $$$ ...
