Default ABS Light ON..insight...

Hey everyone I changed the brake rotor, pads, and bleed the brakes but now my ABS light is showing ON.. The DTC code from the Service Manual is:

Main Code 1

Sub-code 8

High Pressure System...

4 probable causes are

- Accumulator gas leakage
- Changed relief valve set pressure
- Rear outlet solenoid valve late to close
- Changed pressure switch set pressure

Did anyone have the same issue as me? Can anyone give me some insight?

Quoted directally from Honda Service news
"ABS DTC 1-8: ’94–97 Accord,
’95–97 Odyssey
On ’94–97 Accords and ’95–97 Odysseys, when
the ABS self-test detects a faulty accumulator, the
ABS control unit sets a DTC 1-8 (accumulator
volume problem). Before you replace any ABS
components, do these steps first:
1. Bleed the high-pressure brake fluid from the
modulator unit (see the ABS section of the
appropriate service manual). Measure the
quantity of brake fluid collected when the
system pressure is relieved.
• If the accumulator gas pressure is zero,
you’ll collect about 5 cc of fluid.
• If the accumulator gas pressure is low, you’ll
collect up to 75 cc of fluid.
• If the accumulator gas pressure is OK, you’ll
collect 35 to 45 cc of fluid.
2. If the accumulator contains less than 35 cc or
more than 45 cc of fluid, refer to S/B 93-038,
ABS Light Comes On, filed under Steering/
Brakes/Suspension, and carefully bleed the
system.
3. Remeasure the accumulator fluid volume. If
the accumulator fluid volume is still not within
35 cc to 45 cc after bleeding, replace the
accumulator."
