Right then I picked up a 94 accord for my wife and it has an ABS fault. The ABS light goes of after I start the engine and then comes on as soon as I pull away. On inspection I found the previous owner had filled the ABS header to the brim. I extracted the excess until it was on the Max line but the ABS light is still coming on.

I have read that a 2 pin blue plug puts it into diagnostic mode and then when you turn the key the ABS light will flash out the error code. My questions are

1) The only 2 pin blue plug I can find is under the glove box on the very outside of the car but a previous post says I am looking for one behind the radio and there isn't one there?

2) Might it just need reseting after I put the fluid level back to normal and if so how do I reset it?

Thanks in advance for your time.

nope you had the right plug, its the 2 prong blue plug. pull the connector and jump it with a paper clip. Search for the codes and other information on abs, there has been a ton of talk on it lately

MES connector for an ABS problem???

That was the diagnostic plug and good as gold the ABS light flashed out 4-8 (Left hand rear wheel sensor)

Saved me £40 for the diagnoistics, now all I have to do is fix it

Thanks everyone for the pointers.

lucky yours was just a sensor... on both ex accords mine was the pump buzzing away until it finally quit, it had a leak in pressure somewhere... i htink i have a wheel sensor layin around somewhere, but i would hafta go digging for it...

Well the left rear sensor was reading 500K so it was faulty, I swapped it for one that reads 634 Ohms (with the 600 - 900 Ohms range) and it still gives the same 4 - 8 erro ?????

Is this simply a logged fault that now needs reseting or something else. Your thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated................

Did you try reseting it?

mark48

Well if you mean disconnecting the battery for 5 mins then yes but if there is another way then I don't know how.

Cheers

That should do it. Time to start looking for other causes.
