I have a 94 prelude si and I wanted to know what code I have been getting since I am new at reading the codes, thank you in advance.

 

It looks like a code 30.

 

what would a code 30 be?

 

I'm sorry, I think it's actually code 3 cuz I'm looking at a manual right now and that's what it says. Code 3 has to do with your ABS pulsers.

 

I somehow think it is code 1 because there has been articles about it on the internet but i dunno

 

Code 1 is pump motor over run. Which causes the ABS pump to run a little longer than usual.

 

Yeah it looks like a code 1 to me also. Code 3 is like blip...blip...blip all in a row.

 

does anyone know how to fix this problem or to test it?

 

Helms manual

 

I just went to go check my abs fluid and it is above the max line could this trigger anything?

No. You mean your brake fluid right?

 

yeah but you have to put brake fluid in three places and i did not want to confuse anyone, so i just said abs fluid.

Oh right, the reservoir on top of the ABS unit? I forgot about that one

 

this ABS thing is confusing, I just came back from taking out brake fluid from the abs reservoir and still no dice. Do you think by changing the brake fluid to new fluid it will fix it?

 

some of us still have abs <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Hawkze_2.3 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

Uh, taking it out of the reservoir won't do anything. Your problems could be caused by air in the system or dirty fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and does go bad over time...I changed some on our Chevy a while back and it was BLACK after the 9-10 years it had been in use.

I would either get a Helms manual and follow the procedures in there or have a good shop do it.

Hehe

 

sorry about this but how would air get into the abs reservoir? And for some reason the fluid looks clean.

You're right it's very unlikely, but stranger things have happened

 

you can't see moisture, correct?

Nope. It's absorbed by the fluid. Both are generally clear.

brake fluid turns dark with moisture. If your brake fluid is dark, and not relatively clear like new, REPLACE IT.

Water reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid, and if it gets low enough and boils..... good luck stopping

 

I would get the helm's at kragen, right?

Not likely, you will only find crappy Haynes/Chiltons at local auto parts stores.

Get a Helms from helminc.com or eBay.
