Hello all, I have a 94 ex auto accord with the legendary buzzing noise and the ABS light..

I've searched around and found a couple of threads:

From the FAQ section, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=241713 , but doesnt tell you how to fix it.

From that thread^^, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=761192 , but RotaryBzzzz no longer has the fix in his sig.

Does anyone have a write-up on how to do this? Something with some decent pictures? I've never dealt with ABS, and IIRC the helms doesnt tell you how to take it apart..

Thanks in advance for the help

Code is a 1 8 High pressure

Accord forum is a pretty happening place

I never did the rubber o-ring replacement since the problem with mine was the pump overrun failure - I simply replaced the whole unit. It's a fairly easy job that took under 2 hours - just make sure you use a brake line wrench so you don't strip the lines (you're screwed if you do). A replacement unit cost me $200 and from what I can tell is working like a charm.

Regardless of if the accumulator is weeping from under the label or leaking from the 'O'ring at the base, the entire unit has to be pulled out, because the bolts that hold it on are underneath.
Relieve the pressure thru the bleed screw first thing and have the relay out of the ABS underhood fuse panel.
have a roll of those blue paper towels on hand and a couple spray cans of brake clean; the brake fluid will eat paint and needs to be sprayed off and cleaned up within a few hours if not sooner. The unit is held in a cradle and you can loosen the nuts on the sides and slide it up and out after removing the lines, and unplugging the connectors.
The little 'O' ring at the base of the accumulator is P/N 57072-ST5-003 about $2
The Accumulator itself P/N 57018-ST5-000 about $275
