I need to reset my ABS light in my S2000 [Don't ask] and I don't want to get ripped off with diagnostic charges or anything, I just basically need to hook it into the computer, and reset the computer.

Anybody help a brotha out?

 

Hmmmmm....wish i could help out but thats not my department!!

Are you sure you can't do it yourself? Isn't there a procedure in the service manual to do it? You know, like resetting the check engine light - just pull the right fuse kind of thing.

 

Yah, j00 should be able to reset it j00rself....AFAIK only the SRS light needs to be reset by a dealer with a special t00l....so ABS reset should be doable.

BTW, what did j00 hit this time?

 

LOL, don't worry about it, wtf does AFAIK mean.

I tried to reset it myself once, but I fried a fuse cause something sparked! I thought I killed my imm0bilizer!

B18C-Rsi - Sweet!

 

As Far As I Know = AFAIK

 

try this,bro make sure you have your radio code,remove the positive and negetive battery termanles and hold them together for a min, then leave them disconnected for ten min this might work.If thers a problem it will go back on.

Why exactly are you holding the two cables together?

all j00 need is to disconnect the ground terminal from the battery and leave it off for a couple of minutes...

That doesn't need to be done at the dealer. Yes, you do need a special tool for the job. It's called a paper clip . Basically, resetting the SRS light is a DIY job.

 

Unplugging the negative cable won't work. The ABS information is stored in another place, not the ECU.

 

b19coupe works at a hunduh dealership

might be acura though. i forgot

 

Contact this guy "Hondatec38" (Honda mech and S2k owner)

He will definitely know

 

Shouldn't this be in the S2000 forum?

LOL! Hmmm ... what a bright idea?

 

Now there's a thmart idea

 

u need to diconect both neg and pos on battery

 

You Raaaaaaaaaang?

Press and Hold the select and reset buttons before starting the car. While holding the two, turn the key on and keep holding the buttons until the light resets (when it goes out) Then enjoy your clean, neat, and tidey instrument panel.

Oh wait. You said ABS light. **** sorry mang. Usually ABS codes will instantaniously come back when the circuit tries to prove out. You really need to see what the code is and then I can really help you. Sorry about the maintence required proceedure.

Nah......I'm gonna' steal your flip flops and make you chase me up and down the street!

 

Disconnecting the battery and holding the cables together might clear the code; it allows the capacitors to discharge. The code can be cleared with the PGM-Tester, but there should be an alternate method too. I would have to look up the procedure in an Acura S.M. on Monday (should be the same as Honda), I will be at Fontana this weekend and won't be back at work until then, sorry.

 

Thanks for all of the replies guys!

The S2000 forum sucks, it's all about the ITR forum, y0.
