i have a 94 but im sure its the same. Underneath the glove box look up and youll see two tabs that you can pull out of a little holder. yorus is OBD2 so i think it might just be one tab but pull it out and jump it with a paper clip or something and then click your key to the second click and it should start flashing codes.

Found a blue clip and orange clip. Jumped the blue clip with two slots in it and ABS light went off and did not flash at all. The CEL came on though but did not flash either. The Orange clip has six slots. One of them has power to it when I used my test light. I jumped it and nothing happened with the ABS lite, however it did throw a R/C Mirror fuse under the drivers side dash. The ABS has a seperate fuse box under the hood, checked that with test lite. Every fuse has power except for one 10 amp fuse - the ABS unit has no power at the fuse - the fuse is good also.

I also checked the fluids in both reservoirs and connection at master cylinder.

What next?????

thats weird..it should be the blue clip. how long did you watch the abs light? because if your abs modulator went out (which happens in most accords) then it would flash the code mine flashes. the light flicks off then i wait a few seconds and it flashes once real quick then its done.
