Fail Relay problem stated in the service manual. main 6 sub 4 (fail relay)

the light came on the other day out of nowhere and I never had this kind of problem before (ABS light).

So I checked the code and checked the wiring (black n green) on the fail relay and they all seem to be okay. For some reason the light just won't go away no matter how many miles or times I restart my car etc.

Then all of sudden the light disappeared so I thought maybe it was okay again til I realized the light came back on after couple drives. The light comes up as I put the key into the ignition and click twice and it would stay there til I turn off the car.

any ideas?

thanks

 

I don't have much experience with this but I'll try to help. If you don't get a worthy response here, might want to try the Tech forum.

When you say 6-4, do you mean that is the code pulled from jumping the two wires together and reading the flashes?

 

6-4 (source from the 1994 Acura Service Manual)

6 = Main code

4 = Sub code

That's what it says and at the shops or the dealer they call it 6.4relay or something. Confusing.

I checked the fuses and they all seem to be OK. Only place I wouldn't reach or try to reach is the ABS ecu behind passenger and right side of the rear passenger seat. cause I do not want to mess around with it too much. I stopped messing around with it after the check up on the Fail Relays (look like a jumper cable when you put those 2 together).

anyway, no shops know why and i'm not going to have my car sit at the dealer cause the job is expensive and they tend to drive the car for a joyride.

even at this moment I'm still walkin around my car figuring out while typing.. argh

 

arghhh I hate this!

Just when I thought my car is finally done after my new tires and clutch installed, the ABS came on out of NOWHERE! I hate my car now. Look at this setup and tell me what else is there I can do to it.

 

First how do you know if it is code 6-4?

Second, try this procedure:

friend let me borrow his snap-on electronic sensor reader. I stuck that thing into the ABS sensor underneath the AIRBAG (green harness) and start up the car and it'll tell me the codes. then count the flashes.

that's about it
