Hey guys; so I just a 94 Honda Accord over the weekend and the owner before me did not fill up the ABS, so the light came on. After buying it I fill it out with Brake Fluid and you can hear this noise coming from the ABS but then it goes away. My question is that sometimes the ABS goes away and sometimes it comes back? How do I get the ABS to stop doing that? Do I need to bleed the ABS? If so how?

Thanks;
Ricky

 

Noise when?

Mine has always made a noise when I start the car up and then it goes away.

 

Is it noise from the ABS unit? cuz mines are and then it goes away but the ABS is on and sometimes it is off. So should I bleed the system?

 

when you bleed the brake lines does that include the abs lines? Or are they seperate? My abs motor or pump also hums loudly at times. I have noticed a lot of fluid underneath the unit and have added some. I hope that some parts are replaceable without a whole unit being purchased!

 

Well on the 5th gen, which is your accord, there are 2 reservoir, therefore 2 different system.

edit.

Bleeding the brake lines is when... you feel the brake pedal is spongy. Not responsive. Or when the brake fluid is black or really dark. Or just time to change it. Part of a maintenance you're suppose to do every few years or so.

 

thank you!!
