I have a 2013 Accord EX L V6. This applies to Civics around the same generation too.My dash lights started coming on about 2-3 years ago. At first it was intermittent, but then ABS, power steering, LDW, FCW, and the traction control light all started to stay on. I searched but never sound out what it could be. I had a diagnostic ran at a dealership and they told me it was the "brake module," or as a salesman said; "modulator." It's an expensive part brand new. ~$900+But, this part can be repaired. Found a guy on ebay (abs_pros) who did it for like $210 total after shipping. Great response and return time.There are several people who do this but this guy does a flat rate. You can pull the part out and cut it open to see for yourself. (Like I did) Ihad another guy on ebay try to tell me it's an "extra $50 for more testing," because I opened it already….. here are some pics. My TPS and TCS lights are still on. Those two lights are a different problem to my understanding and TPS can cause TCS to come on. I will have to fix those the next time I get tires put on. If you know something different, let me know. Also pay attention to these two metal pieces that connect to the other side. Here's the video that taught me about this issue. https://youtu.be/OjKOwYlEaMI
I also drove around with the part removed. ABS wasn't working anyways. I just covered where the part goes with a plastic bag to keep dirt and dust out. Pay attention to the two metal connectors that connect to the other side of the module. Removing and installing this part is kind of tedious. Be as delicate as you can be.
