4-2?? abs code ??

there is no specific listing for an 4-2, just 4-1 through 4-8, all abs codes. you probably have a bad wheel speed sensor. Use a multimeter and check the resistance between the terminals of each sensor. front should be between 700-1100 ohms, and the rear should be between 1000-1600 ohms. If one is not within that range, replace it.

4-2 = front left wheel lock... whatever that means.

I was thinking that but I didn't have the service manual in front of me. I looked it up on the Honda Network but the information isn't as complete. The troubleshooting is the same. I would just replace the LF wheel speed sensor, its the most likely cause. Check the wiring for any damage just in case. The 10 mm that holds the sensor in place tends to break when you try and take it out so use a lot of lube and be careful. good luck.
