Heres the problem, I had new tires put on my car 2 weeks ago and left the tire store with no issues. Drove home with no light coming on.....left my house later that night and within 6-7 miles my ABS and brake light came on. It does this every time now without fail. Its off when I start the car and after so many miles they both come on again. I had it checked by a relative who is a master tech in GA. The computer threw up a code that said some thing like excessive wheel slip or something to that effect. That however is no where in any ABS diagnostic code list any where including the service manual. I have searched the best I know how to find a clue to my problem through multiple forums and good old google with no signs of help. Would go back to GA to consult with my cousin but that is just to far to drive for now. If any one can offer some insight it would be appreciated. I didnt get any codes pertaining to sensors being bad so I kinda have ruled out needing to check those....

I have a nickel on one of the ABS sensors in the wheel hub having gotten misaligned or damaged during the wheel installation.

Your cousin used a generic reader, Honda uses different definitions than what is displayed on universal code readers. This difference is carried through on ALL coded systems from Honda, from the SRS, to the ABS to OBDII.

Your best bet is to remove the wheels and simply check and make sure everything looks honkey-dorry.
