Honda Prelude ABS Lamp
Hi guys,
I've got a late '92 Honda Prelude that has the ABS light come on after pressing the brakes a few times. I've got a few questions: - First of all, is it dangerous to drive the car in this state? i.e. Does the ABS just get disabled and it's not a big deal, or is there a safety issue here? - Second, does anyone have any ideas on what the issue could be and how I could go about diagnosing it? Regards, Glenn. |

Thanks for the info.. In response to the other reply, the mileage is about
140,000 kms (about 90,000 miles), and I'm very friendly with google, this is just the next stop in my search SoCalMike wrote: > Glenn Richmond wrote: >> Hi guys, >> >> I've got a late '92 Honda Prelude that has the ABS light come on after >> pressing the brakes a few times.

I've posted extesively on this in the past here... mostly to do with condition of the fluid in the ABS reservoir, replacement by sucking out the old from the reservoir, and then exercising the system.... worth checking that anyway since bad fluid rots the seals in the modulator. Your symptom, where the system shuts down when you press the brake is more likely a bad wheel sensor. You need to get the code out of the system. -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
