Default ABS light on:(

my abs light and brake light are both on, i am figuiring the sensor is bad but i dont know which one, my buddy's uncle owns a garage but doesnt have the software for the abs scan tool, anyone now ehre to get it, and would the brake light be on as well because of a faulty sensor.


i did not lower the car or mess with the suspeneion i bought the car with this light on.

The ABS thing is up front in the engine bay drivers side. Make sure it's plugged in.

ok i'll check that, does the abs sensor on the S look like the older hondas on the back of the brake pointing at the axle ring or is it different.

There's a wire connected to a connector clip that you plug into a box. Just look up near the drivers side headlight. Just look for anything that is not connected doesn't look right. If everything there is fine, it's something else that's causing the issue.

Collects. Not colects.

maybe another fuse blew and a previous owner was too cheap to buy a new one?

it does sound like a problem is occurring - otherwise they wouldn't have removed the fuse - stick a new one in and keep fingers well crossed.

yeah i bought a new one and the light went out but my brake light is still on. anyone have a list of what causes this light to come on, i know the ebrake, low fluid and a light out will cause it to come on and all those are checked good.

alright well i think its my float causing the brake light to stay on, if i unplug the clip on the resevoir, the light goes out, and i filled up the resevoir, but that wont do it, and my top will not go down without the e brake up so its not that switch, anyone ever had the float go bad?

yeah i replaced 6 over my 2 1/2 years at Acura. the foam just gets hard and sinks to the bottom, telling the ecu that the reservoir is empty. they were like $35.
