hey techs.....i have the abs light on my car on. how do i know whats causing it to go on? or how can i run a diagnostic?

i can live with out abs but it still shows that annoying yellow light.

drive your car over dirt road or wet road and step on your brakes hard to lock your wheels (going about 10mph) and see if the abs kicks on. if it doesn't most likely you have a problem. either way, you still do. on those vehicles, usually it's the abs accumulator that goes bad because they leak, and those parts are not cheap.

MuthaF#^&*!!!!!.....thanks joesue.

now i just gotta find a dirt or wet road.

it could just be a sensor that went out...which i find to be the norm. You can take it some where maybe autozone and find out which code the abs is throwing. It very may well be the accumulator it self but start with the small stuff check the sensors.

I got white stuff on my radiator cap, does that mean my head gasket is going bad?

abs light was on 2 weeks ago, then last week it goes away. i saw some open wires touching my pully so i taped it up. then my abs goes on for the weekend..then as i was driving towards work today it goes off.

yea thanks jaime...but some autozones are a bunch of dumbasses. they have the tool, but we all know they don't wanna help us out and give that lame excuse "our machine isn't working"

but the next time it goes back on, ill give it a try.

my abs light only goes on well sometimes it does when im driving over 90mph but after i turn off the car and then turn it back on it goes away im assuming its the sensor ontop of the axel

hey i got a question i removed my ac yesterday and i just have a question what is the piece under the glove box i need to remove? and how does it look so i can have and idea on what ima remove and one other thing im not gonna need the fan next the the AC compressor right?

[blackcb7]

From my understanding the scanners that they let you "borrow" at autozone don't have the capability of retrieving abs codes.

on ob2 the only way i have been able to retrieve codes is with a snap modis scanner.

david, for our cars jump the connector for the check engine light and it the abs light should flash the code.

From some experiences with the pump going out, its usually a leak on it. I believe its only one o ring that has to be changed. after its changed the codes should go away.

[Davids92Accord]

what about the ac evaporator you were talking to me about ??? thats under the glove box

[blackcb7]

Yeah you can access it without taking the whole dash out.

Remove the glove box. it will be held together with two straps holding it to blower and heater box.


I believe its 4 10mm nuts holding the straps to the firewall.


dunno if you are taking the heater and everything else out, or just the evaporator?

[Davids92Accord]

naw im keeping the heater i just want the AC out thats it

[blackcb7]

after you take out the evap, i'd say you gut the insides of the box and stick it back in.

just the box by itself that way your heater is still fully functionable.

[Davids92Accord]

what box?
