Default ABS light on constantly

Hello all, been a little while since I posted last, (course that means I got her fixed the last time too!) My car is a 1995 Accord 4-door, 5-speed. Anyways, my ABS light has come back on again. A few months ago I put a RR Speed Sensor in it and thats all it was. Now my question is before the sensor was put in last, the ABS light would wait to come on until I got past 10mph, then the relay would click and the light would come on. Now when I turn the car on the ABS light is on all the time, I dont need to move the car at all for it to be on.

I would love to try to pull a code, but Im not sure what pins of what connector I need to short again. Is it the 6 pin orange that says ABS on it, or is it the same 2 pin blue as the SRS and the MIL is? If it is the same 2 pin then the ABS light does not blink at all, the SRS and MIL are both flashing, but the ABS light only stays on constantly. I would think thats bad news if the light wont flash a code for me, unless I am jumping the wrong wires.

I know all the older Hondas like mine have problems with the ABS modulator. I just need to make sure what connectors I need to be shorting.

Also is $100 bucks good for a junkyard Air Bag Module? Thats the code I got from the SRS light flashing, or I found on ebay a new module with both driver and passenger air bags with it for around $380. I wouldnt really buy car parts from ebay, so our junkyard may be what I go with. Just checking with everyone else!

Thanks

i had the same problem when i got my 94 accord ex turns out it was due to had wrong axle installed. once i swapped out to the correct axle never had the light come on again

that is a horrible price i got a full set couple weeks ago on ebay for like 140. that was both bags, module, and clock spring and all was in perfect shape. most of the people selling those parts are junk yards anyways. why not save a couple buck. some will even offer a refund for defect

Well that is very interesting, since I just put a drivers side axle in the thing not two weeks ago. I will give that a try, and see what happens!

well you can tell visually if it is the correct one or not.


none ABS don't have splines



with abs have the splines


also if you recently replaced a axle might want to check and see that the sensor didn't get damaged and the clearence is correct.
