This may sound strange, but after I drive over 100 (yes, one hundred) miles w/o turning off the car, the ABS light comes on and stays on. It has done this every time, and it's always about the same distance. I have not checked the codes yet, but from what I have researched, could it be a wheel sensor? Any input appreciated.

I haven't checked the code YET. As you can tell I have done some traveling. And the research is on this forum, as well as from other makes/models forums online.

 

Check the connection to the battery. A couple of times mine went on after launching my car and what happened was the part that held it down to the battery was corroded so when the wheels spun it shook it off the battery.

But your question would make more sense after you read the code. Maybe it'll turn out to be a wheel-sensor code, maybe not. But I can't think of a good reason why a wheel-sensor would be ok for shorter trips, but screw up only over 100 miles.

 

this happened to me and after about a yr my abs eventually broke. with mine it was slowly breaking i guess. the abs motor under the hood would make a buzzing sound for a few seconds then stop. this happened when my car was at idle. the abs light started to go on when i would travel long distances. then when i shut off the car and turned it back on, the light was off for another 100 miles or so. then it slowly started to come on more often, but my abs still worked when the light was on. (i know this sounds weird, but i tested it out in the rain and it still worked) after about a yr. the light was always on and my abs didnt work anymore. i went to acura and its about a grand to replace. so i just drive with no abs and i pulled out the bulb.

 

Sounds like pump over-run or accumulator problems if it's an older Integra. It'll set an error code & turn on the light if the pump has to run too long or too often. But then the system still works.

But LuckyNuts hasn't said what year Integra. Look at the sticky thread at the top of this forum. There's a whole different system for '94-'97 & '98+.

 

Mine came on after I drove over 800 miles in one day. From Reno to Seattle non-stop except to fill up. That was the only time it came on. I don't know what it was. Never happened again. Not even on the way back home.
