My damn ABS light keeps coming on... Just started today, If I turn the car off it goes off.. But if I speed up to like 80 it'll come back on. And last time it happened the brake light came on also.

I got tons of fluid, my e-brake wasnt up... WTF? Anyone got an answer? I was thinking maybe one of the abs fuses are blown... but I don't feel like looking... lol

although its extremely unlikely, another cause might be that some peice of dirt has damaged or is disturbing the sensor. But theres probably something worng with the sensor itself

Yeah, if it's under warranty don't f*** with it. If you try to fix, they will just say you messed it up and then make you pay for it.

but will they give me problems with having some mods? I have drilled brake rotors also.

Hummm.... I don't see how drilled break rotor would affect an ABS sensor, but I am not sure what they woudl say. I would change back to the stock rotors, see if it still happen, if it does then take it in. I did that when my head lights gave me trouble, I even told them it didn't have the factory headlights in it, they siad well we can't do anything about it then. SO I took it home changed back to stock head lights and the passenger head lamp blew out and they replaced all the wiring for me.

my honda dealer here told me only a turbo/supercharger will void the warranty. If they feel that a modification that you have added has caused the malfunction then they have to prove that it did so.

would low tread tires in ran or slick pavement cause the light to turn on??

Hmm if there is slippage maybe but most likely the sensor is bad or somthing hit it

Yeah, maybe if you break faster than normal people, it might trip the ABS. If that's the case you should hear something pulsing from the front of the car when the ABS is activated. Then when you let your foot off the brake the light should turn off with in a few seconds. But if it stays on, that's bad.

yea... the light stays on. Maybe I'll wait to get my new tires mounted and stuff before I do anything about this abs sensor thing. See if thats the problem. BTW the light only comes on when I go over 80. I can hit wet spots and icy spots under 80 and the light doesn't come on.

Don't go over 80 then.

Here's a thought, are all your tires properly inflated? A Diameter difference could cause the ABS system to think there's a problem, because the wheels won't turn at the same speed. Longshot there. I'd take a look at the sensors first.

ehhh... maybe a long shot, but it's a free long shot that can be checked in couple of minutes.

Mine also lights up when I install my drag 14's in the front and keep the 17's at the back, the ecu switches it off due to different readings in speed between the front and the back. Are your tires the same size on all 4 wheels?

No... Problem solved! lol!
