Honda reset the computer first time this happened and said I must have engaged the parking brake for 30 seconds or more while driving. 2nd time in 4 weeks this happened the parking brake was not engaged for sure! Now they say they must go on "straight time" to diagnose the fault which they "think" is wiring. The 2nd dealer I went to now says it should take a maximum of 1 hr. time to locate, and that it may not be covered by my "Honda Plus Extended Warranty." Any comments on this "fault" and what it might be, and what I might do, would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Car is with dealer. Will answer tomorrow. Thanks.

how tight is your e-brake when you pulll on it?

 

What year and model? What ABS code?

 

1996 Accord EX. Never did tell me the ABS code(s). Top Secret???

Honda had it for a few days. They could NOT make the ABS light come back on no matter what they tried (so they say.) The Parking Brake light never came on again either. So they ended up replacing the "brake fluid" sensor switch? Don't know why.

I'll bet a had a bad connection in the wiring somewhere and all the disconnecting/reconnecting made the contacts better. Hasn't reoccurred either. What can I say.

 

If the brake light is on while driving, the ABS light will come on after 30 seconds. A bad brake fluid switch will cause the brake light to come on.
