ABS Help......

Thanks to all that replied to my earlier question on the location of
the DLC for a 95 Prelude.

Here is what my problem is:

After I drive the car for about 10 seconds, the ABS light comes on.
This is like clock work. When I reach the same distance from my house
while driving, the light come on. Typically this is about a block.

The ABS light only comes on after I start driving. If the car is
sitting idle, it will not come on. Once it is on, it stays on until I
turn off the key. Then the patter repeats.

Here is what I have done:

Checked all fluids in both reservoir's
Changed all the pads
Pulled the B2 fuse (recently had to replace dead battery)
Shorted the Service Check Connector. Light did not give a DTC code
Jacked the car up and spun each wheel independently. For each tire I
shut the car off and then restarted. After spinning the rear tires,
no light. After spinning the front right, ABS light came on. I shut
the car off and then restarted. After spinning the front left, ABS
light came on.

Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. I would hate to take
to a dealer for the repair. I am having too much fun doing my self
with a little help.

Thanks in advance,

 

The system has failed its self-check. Is your park brake not all the
way off by any chance? That's a possible cause.

Do you hear the pump gronk for a second or so just after startup?
Do you hear it at any other time? Have you changed the brake fluid in
the ABS system?

Enlist the help of a shop manual. Not a Haynes or a Chilton manual
but a proper Honda shop manual.

 

=====================

Good point, John . . . . Chiltons has mislead me more than once with
incorrect info. :-(

But, they're _generally_ a good manual.

good meaning better than absolutely nothing

 

The fact that the light doesn't come on until the car starts rolling
seems to indicate a wheel sensor failure. Good news if true, as that
should be relatively cheap.
