Default 97 Accord, ABS/Parking Brake Light

A couple of weeks ago, my Parking Brake light started staying on after removing the parking brake, and after about 30 seconds of driving. A few days after that, the ABS light comes on about 30 seconds after ignition as well. I have checked the parking brake sensor switch, and that isnt the problem, as it goes on and off before I start the car when i apply and remove the parking brake. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be or have a reference to ABS diagnostic codes? Brake fluid level is fine, although when I did my brakes last I accidentally removed one of the bolts securing the brake line to the front caliper, and a little fluid leaked out before i resecured it. Would this have been enough to introduce air into the system? Thanks for the help...

Did you try jumping the master cylinder fluid level sensor wires together? Sometimes the sensor will crap out.

my cousin got the same problem wih his 94 EX, ABS light always on, the dealer thought he got problem with his ABS, ... Until finally he found that problem caused by bad battery (and battery cables)... He just replace the battery with a new one and no more prioblem. I don't know bout yours, check your battery 1st, probably got the same one....
