I would check the brake fluid level. If it is low the ABS light will come on.
Hope that helps!

If its not the abs reservoir level,then pull the ABS code from the service connector.

When you start the car you will hear the ABS modulator do a self-test (buzzing noise for 1-3 sec.) If the Modulator (In Right Front of engine bay w/ lines coming out of it and fluid res) does not build pressure, it may continue buzzing for 15 s. and then set the ABS light.

The rebuilt part from Acura is unfortunately $700. You can find them out of salvage cars off Ebay for less than $100.

I just bought a 94 GSR w/ this problem and will be fixing it with a part out of an 01.

Thanks Closer..
Thats the problem i have too...the self test goes off for about 15 seconds coming from the ABS Modulator. I hope i don't have to fork out much to get this fixed. Ill try filling the res first.
