abs fault
Hi guys. My wife has a Honda accord which is causing me a headache.
The abs light comes on after driving for about 1 mile. So I took it to the Honda dealer for them to check it out. I was told "it`s the nearside rear road wheel sensor ! (I also have a Honda accord ) I replaced the sensor with one from a donor car., again after driving about a mile the abs light came on ?? I then decided that because the abs on my car is working fine I removed the sensor off my car and fitted it to my wife`s car . you would think that will solve the problem. WRONG the light cam on aftre driving about 1 mile. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks Accord 1993 -- Posted at author's request, using moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Thread archive: http://www.AutoBoardz.com/abs-fault-ftopict250229.html |

You also might have a fault in the wiring or connectors between the sensor and the ABS controller, or a fault in the ABS controller itself. I've repaired several Volvo 850 ABS controllers that had cracked solder joints in them, it causes intermittent failures at first which tend to then happen more and more often with time; no reason that couldn't happen other cars. A sensor fault just tells you that the controller cannot read the sensor, it doesn't mean the problem is with the sensor itself. |

Its a pretty hostile environment down there by the wheel & the wiring on a '93 is going to be less then factory fresh by now. |
