I took the left rear wheel off the car And put it back on and the light came on. Whats up with that? If you have any ideas please let me know it has been 5 days since it came on,and it still has not went off.

check the ABS sensor wire ,its clipped on the lower control arm,the same location for a camber kit.if the wire is ok then its beyond my knowlege,next possible cause is the fuse for the ABS,according to my shop manual.

you could have messed up the speed sensor for that wheel, or the wire. Take your wheel back off and look to see if any thing looks weird or not normal. I did this with my Ford Expedition I had. The sensor was pushed back so I rebent the mounting braket for it. Hope that helps.

The ABS indicator light is staying on to indicate a failure in the ABS unit. Most likely the speed sensor on the wheel to which you were working on.

Certain ABS codes are required to be stored in non-volatile memory thus they will never be cleared EVEN if the battery is disconnected for a long duration. This is required for safety purposes.

I would recommend that you get the DTC code retreived before attempting to clear ABS codes as proper operation is critical to safety. This can be done with a honda PGM tester or by shorting the SCS connector on the OBD-II connector to ground and observing the blink rate of the ABS indicator light.

Anyways, there are two ways to clear ABS codes: 1) with the honda tester or 2) by turning on and off the ignition switch twenty times in a row.

You're going to have to take it to the dealer, the only way to turn the light of is to reset the DTC (Diagnostic Troble Code) and the only way to do that is if you have a Honda PGM Tester module. You can clear the codes by turning the ignition key switch to ON (II) then Off at least 20 times, but if you have a problem; which i think you do, the light will come right back on because the computer is throwing a code back out.

Go to the dealer and get it straightened out because you don't want to screw with the ABS system. Just don't tell the dealer you did any work on the car.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

What solar is saying is correct. If there is a problem still in the system then the DTC will just get set after your reset any error codes and the ABS indicator light will stay on.

my car is heavily modified and i dont want the dealer to void my warrenty[ excuse my spelling]. do you think they will? I may just haft to leave the light on all the time. My car acts fine and runs and brakes the same. I just wish i would not have took that dam wheel off. thanks you guys for the help![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I think it was noted on this thread before; unless you modified the brakes the warrenty will not be voided on your car. Just take it to the dealer, I dought any mods you did to the engine messed up your ABS system. Take it to the dealer...........take it to the dealer............take it to the dealer.........
