Currently I have an ABS and CEL light on. I jumpered the service connector to reveal a CEL code 41, but no ABS code. The light just stays lit. I'm new to Preludes and not sure where to start troubleshooting without any ABS codes. Any ideas?

 

the ABS code has to be read with a code reader that costs big bucks, take it to the dealership if you must.....

but, you could just check the level of brake fluid, and if its good then you need to do brake pads....

 

Do you know, is the ABS service connector the 3 wire brown one that is next to the CEL service connector?

Right now the center console is out so I wonder if a dealer tech would pull the code for a 20 on the side or something...

 

werid, i was able to get my ABS code from the service connector

 

Was it the same service connector used for CEL lights or a different one, also what year is your Lude?

 

LOL, after alot of hesitating, I finially decided to start checking random ABS stuff, i.e. fuses, wheel speed sensors, etc. to see if anything obvious jumped out. Well, it did... As soon as I checked the fuse box, I noticed that the 15A ABS fuse, 20A ABS fuse, and the ABS Motor Relay was GONE! Not there at all! After a trip to Hagerstown Honda for a $30 relay and some fuses, the ABS now spits code 4-1 to me. Right Front wheel speed sensor. I checked the resistance of the WSS and found that it was wide open and therefor bad. Dealer says $130 for a new one. Anyone know of a cheaper source?

just so you know, any discount or autozone can usually do OBDI and OBDII scans for you for free. just an FYI. whenever i get a CEL i always go straight there and have them OBDII scan it for me. good luck finding a WSS, i have no idea where to find those cheap but good luck.

I also pulled my ABS code with the CEL connector.

I got a 4-1 which just like you is a right wheel sensor. I havent checked it yet. but I do have a totaled lude with parts that I know the abs worked. so if you check if the left and right sensors are the same I would be glad to get rid of the left one. I need the right one.
