Unfortunately for me, my ABS light came on about a year ago, and when I tried to check the code, I found that NO code was stored, the light was just on. This meant that there were no problems with any components, but rather a problem somewhere in the electrical system. I went through every test listed in my Helms manual for that situation, and came up empty handed.
So I removed the bulb from the cluster and have been driving w/o ABS for about a year now.

Most professional race car drivers prefer no ABS. So think of your self as a race car driver.
How much would it be for Honda dealership to fix this?

yeah, on a race track in controlled conditions.
NOTHING is controlled or certain about driving on public streets.

Yeah, I guess on the race track there are no minivans to worry about or semi trucks that only see Tahoes and not integras in their mirrors.
