You could also have a disconnected, damaged ABS sensor.

My rears keep ripping the wires. They get smashed in between the suspension and the body.

I've given up fixing them haha.... ABS sucks anyways.

do the paper clip procedure..the abs system has codes just like the cel. it will tell you what is wrong with the system.

whats this paper clip procedure???? honda wants 50 bucks to check my abs codes and im trying to figure out which of my abs sensors are bad...i got them with my brakes and the guy just threw them in the box with the rest of the brake parts, so its garunteed atleast one is not working...i hate that abs light, i want it gone so i can pull my fuse for the abs and know it will work when i reinstall it (if i reinstall it)

its probably one of the abs sensors...those things go bad occasionally and they suck to replace because they always crack when you try to take them out of the whole and than you gotta drill it out

I took 3 of mine out and soldered/epoxied them...they work perfectly.

i checked my wireing and it looks good. i noticed when i turn off the engine and then turn it back on, all the lights reset, but if i go past 40mph the abs and brake light turn on.

Ill to the paper clip check tomorrow.

do you have a blown strut/ live in an area that has ALLOT of hard bumps?

i had a blown strut that i was driving around on for a while and every now and then the abs light and brake light would come on, but go away after a restart.

come to think about it ive been lowered on my stock shocks for 5 years. i think their blown. that can cause for the lights to come on?
