93 Accord ABS lite & whining sound??????????
I have a 93 Honda Accord EX Auto. The ABS lite keeps coming on-this is
probably a wheel sensor but is there an easy way to check this out? Also I have a whining sound coming from the front left engine compartment-it starts around 30 kph and rises ( louder ) with engine speed, not tranny speed. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Thanks. ================== When does the light come on? Idling, moving, braking? What makes you think it's a wheel sensor? Have you been careful to rotate your tires according to the manual? Slip your distributor cap off to make sure there isn't any red 'dust' inside the distributor. If there is, the bearing may soon fail, taking out your Timing Belt. A google search for 'honda distributor bearing failure' should explain. 'Curly' |

On my 97 there are two connectors under the glove compartment. One is
a 3x2 connector and the other is a 2x1 connector. Both are for the ABS brake system. The 3x2 is designed to mate with some fancy diagnostic system. On mine, you short out the 2x1 connector and the ABS light will flash out two number. The factory service manual will tell you how to interpret the code. Look around the internet based on the code and you might find something as the facrtory service manual is a bit to technical (for me) to determine the problem from just the code. I found a nice article from the SAE that identified 3 likely causes based on the code which ranged from just putting draining and topping off the fluid level to replacing the entire unit. |
