Hmmmm...My ABS does that as well sometimes, and then the light started going on. It seems the problem was that the ABS accumulator was leaking some of the fluid. Other than buying a whole new unit for $700, I just keep adding fluid to the lil' hole on the top of the reservoir and it shuts the buzzing noise up and turns the light off. I saw a post on here where a guy put new seals on the bottom of the accumulator and it only cost him like a dollar or two.

It seems like those ABS units are fairly problematic in the '94-'97 Accords. Every junkyard in my area has the ABS unit pulled already.

When I'm at stop I hear a buzzing noise on and off coming from the long cylinder (accumulator) on ABS box .I could not find any leaks.

Verify that your ABS lamp comes on when you start up (bulb check).

If the motor has to run too long or too often, the ABS controller will trigger the ABS light. But usually that means the ABS will quit working. Yours continues to work, and pump itself up when it needs to. (right?) I think that means it's OK.

You can check for ABS error codes anyway. Jumper the same connections like you're reading CEL codes. Just watch the ABS light blinking instead of (along with?) the CEL.

Tribe...
Look at any of the parts websites, at the ABS system. There's a small O-ring where the accumulator attaches to the modulator. It's possible that is the source of your leak. If so, it's a $5 fix. Plus labor to R&R the modulator.
