ABS light comes on when I get up to 50 or 60 mph. Doesn't come on if I don't got that fast.

Speed sensor? Anything else it could be?

Do you have any idea how exprensive that **** is?

 

What code does it have stored? That might narrow it down a little.

 

My friend's 5th Gen does the same thing, but his does it when he gets up towards 80mph. He has upgraded brakes, but that shouldn't make any difference. So I would also like help on this matter.

 

I didn't know OBD I could tell you anything about the ABS.

Now where's that thread on how to jump the code thingermabober......

 

Your right, it can't. But the ABS control unit will store a diagnostic code if it detects a problem. Retreive the code the same way you would for a CEL.

 

I have never done this. Is this with the jumper and whatnot. I have remember the threads but never really paid attention.

 

If the light is coming on at that high rate of speed, then its speed sensor related...

may not be the sensor(s) itself, but the fact the pickup clearances are to great causing the sensor(s) inability to send a proper signal back to the ABS control unit... a bad wheel bearing would also do this, but that would a pretty noisey wheel bearing....

 

I replaced my wheel bearings with my brake swap.

 

With a jumper in the diagnostic plug? please clarify.

 

If you try to perform ABS diagnostics on a Honda vehicle by jumping the diagnostic connector, and the ABS light illuminates, but will not flashcodes, here's a tip that maysave you some time. First item to check is the Charge Warninglight. This light should be illuminated when the ignitionkey is on with the engine notrunning. If it's not, then you may be on the road to a quick fix. On these vehicles, Honda uses the Charge Warning lightcircuit as an input to the ABS controller. Based on the input of this circuit, the controller determines if the engine is running. In this situation, if the engine is running, theABS controller will notenter diagnostics.When the ignition key isin the Key On, EngineOff position, the ChargeWarning light bulb circuit is grounded by the voltage regulator in the alternator. This results in the bulb illuminating.Since this same circuit acts as an input to the ABS controller, the controller would "see" 0 volts onthis circuit at this time. Once the engine is running, and thealternator is charging , thevoltage regulator will no longerground this circuit. This causesthe bulb to turn off, and the ABScontroller will now see system voltage on this input circuit(Refer to diagram #5 ). If an open circuit occurs past thesplice junction in this circuit, thenthe Charge Warning bulb will notbe grounded in the "Key On,Engine Off" position. This willresult in system voltage to appearon the input line to the ABScontroller. When this happens, theABS controller will think theengine is running, thus preventingentry into ABS diagnostics.The vehicles that use thiscircuitry are: Accord1991-97 Civic1992-95 Del Sol1994-97Odyssey1995-97 Passport1996-97Prelude1990-96

So if the charge warning light is not on when the key is is the iginiton on/engine off setting then I can just jump the diagnostic plug.

if it is then I have to do what? I don't really see how that helps me.

 

That's what I got from google...

I do not have adobe installed si I couldn't really see the diagram he was talking about. Hope you find out what is wrong...

check fuses...doubt its the problem though, cause then the light would be on all the time.

 

Yes.
