    Hi,

    My 1991 2.0 EXI 4WS Prelude has just started to show a strange fault, the
    brake lamp warning light and parking light are lit all the time, and after
    approx. 2 mins my ABS warning light comes on also.

    I have one of the four rear brake lights out )inner drivers side) but it is
    not the bulb as I have changed this.

    Any advice??

    Did you check the brake fluid level in the reservoir?
    Is the park brake all the way off?

    Hi,

    Yes, Fluid level is at MAX, and the park brake is totally off the brake
    warning lamps and ABS lamp only come on after the brake pedal has been
    pressed.

    The ABS lamp will light a couple of minutes after startup if the
    system fails its self check. Do you hear the pump run just after
    startup? It's a sort of a groan for about a second shortly after the
    engine fires. Check the pump's fuse.

    and all OK
