Why would you bother with that?

It's a single light.........So you'd rather have non-working ABS and have it not report it's not working?

Take it to Honda, have them do a DIAGNOSTIC and see what the problem with it is.

Yep, in all honesty the diagnostic is $50 in my area and it's a dealership so they'll tell you EVERYTHING that's wrong with it.

Do that then buy parts and replace things yourself especially if it's a toughy - like the ABS system.

At some point you could just remove the system (few threads on HT how to do this) or try the $1.75 fix if applicable, or swap parts from the junkyard

Un Trained Idiots arise and now Wyotech made an example of you?

Scan tools from Advanced won't work on diagnosing an ABS light...wtf are you smoking?

Look it costs at least 75 at the dealer...would you rather have trained Honda technicians or some no name place touching your car?
