Default gad damn abs!

recently swapped out my rear drums for discs on my 97 coupe, only problem is the new trailing arms came off an esi and so didnt have the holes for the abs sensors. obviously my abs didnt work and i had that damn light on the dash all the time. managed to get some ek trailing arms and so swapped them... AGAIN. got hold of some abs sensors, plugged it all in but the abs light still wont go off and i nearly skidded into a volvo today, tried unhooking the battery to reset the ecu memory but still nothing... any suggestions?

ABS or not, crap tires will let you skid into anything.

Did you try resetting it?

Disconnect your negative battery terminal for 20 seconds, reconnect. See if the light is still on.

if the light is on, this is a hard fault.....i believe. which means it's an active dtc, and i don't know how to get them out of a honda, because i've never had to

Put the drums back on and leave it as it was intended so that the ABS will work?
