Thanks

I have a Type V instrument cluster. Is that interchangeable with other models without any extra work? Eg VW & Skoda ones require reprogramming but Mazda RX8s don't. Do more basic trim levels have tachos and, if not, will a Type V cluster give tacho readings if swapped over? Of the other cars...

Beware, there are thieves about. At around 1200-1300 today the catalytic converter was cut off my 2001 Honda Accord Type V in the car park for a garden centre near me. My car was parked on the end of the front row in clear view of the centre's entrance. I am gob-smacked that anyone could...

Apologies, I only just saw your post. The fault, a dodgy connector, is fixed. It has, though, called up it's brother Gremlin, an SRS fault that doesn't give a recognisable fault code when I short the connector, just a long flash followed by a permanent light and remains when I use the...

Now sorted, I hope. Checking the resistances of the wires showed that the +ve to the sensor had a high resistance of ~15k between the modulator and the sensor connector. Unfortunately I could find neither connector nor wire routing and location diagrams in the ESM so had to trace the wires...

The Gremlin is still having fun putting the light on and off. My manual has arrived. It shows no CU and includes a wiring diagram for fault finding from the modulator connector, suggesting the CU is in the modulator. Now I just have to wait until the light comes on and then find out how to...

Thanks. I think that's not the problem as it should generate a different fault code (the one I have covers an open or short circuit). The ABS light was back on today. That gremlin is having fun. US cars route the RRW sensor through the right-hand under-dash fusebox, generating 2 connectors...

After a day with several trips where the ABS light stayed on I've now had 2 days with several trips where the light has been off. I can't do any further fault finding. The car definitely has a Gremlin taken up residence.

Your flat battery will not be caused by the SRS. The SRS light is likely to just a low battery. Note SRS Fault Codes 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 5-5, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 7-1, 7-2. 7-3, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, 8-4, 8-5 & 8-6: Internal Failure Of SRS or Supplemental Restraint System Unit. Check Battery System...

A 1998-2002 Honda Accord servicing manual in pdf form is available without hassle at http://www.gvrdeu.org/Honda%20FSM/Accord/1998-2002%20Accord%20FSM/1998-2002%20Honda%20Accord%20SM.pdf It appears to be for US models that have substantial differences to UK RHD models so may be misleading for...

Aargh. It's back. So it looks as if I'll be investigating the wiring from the modulator ***embly after all. I've just ordered from eBay a UK service manual on disc and hopefully that will have the info I need.

Thanks. I suspect you're right. I had thought of that, but searches on my ABS modulator's number came up only with an eBay listing for a Carina modulator and separate CU, and without a wiring diagram for the moulded plug I wouldn't be any further further forward. My new sensor arrived and I...

Thanks again. My modulator is in the same place, but that isn't what I'm looking for. That diagram doesn't show an ABS CU, which surprises me. Perhaps it's combined with or mislabelled as the driver's fuse/relay box. I've tried to post images and pdfs but I can't seem to do so without first...

Again, thanks. Measured at the sensor connector the voltages to earth with ignition on and the sensor disconnected are 0.15v for your red wire (Green/Yellow , RRW(+), from pin 19 according to the manual), not the 4.8v that you show, and 0V for your blue wire (Blue/Yellow , RRW(-), from pin 20...
