I have an accord 95 with the alb3 abs system and the warning light often (but not always) stays on after starting (usually ok in the morning). The fault code is 18 - high pressure. Can anyone suggest what might be at fault here or how to fix this problem. I am not aware of any fluid leaks but ill need to take a closer look.

Thanks

 

you probably have a bad accumulator.
Since you seem to know what your doing try the bleed test to see how much fluid you get out of it

 

how do you do the bleed test? does this involve jumpering the pump relay?

 

hook a hose onto the bleeder valve on the abs unit and put the other end in a clear bottle (or measuring cup) Then crack the valve open and see how much fluid you get out

 

I did what you said and got about 60ml of fluid. I then bled the abs system but the warning light still comes on otherwie the system appears fine

 

how much fluid do u get with a working accumulator? cheers

Heres some info that might help you; you should have saved all those service news flyers your service manager gave you Tsk Tsk Tsk LOL

 

Thanks for that. Ill have to test it again but i have a feeling the accumulator is bad, then again i didnt measure that accurately
