They seem to drain the battery when im working on the car. Is there anyway to temporarily turn them off? Cheers

I test drove the car today after the sensor was replaced and the light went out :D Im so pleased it doesnt seem to be the abs pump. The guy at the garage said sometime a faulty sensor can cause a spike which will show up the pump as being faulty so im guessing thats what happened. Now I need to...

I routed the cables nicely last night. If you remove the 12v cigarette thingy from inside the arm rest cubby hole you shall see a hole underneath it. I used some bendy wire to pull the cables through to that point. You will need to drill a hole through the triangular 12v cigarette thingy housing...

Also can anyone tell me the location of the ABS fuse? The link below shows there as being one but im having difficulty working out where it is. I wanted to try removing and replacing it and of course checking whether the fuse is knackered. http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/15684-fuse-listing/...

Thanks Brian, those all look like things I can try quite easily. I'll give it a whirl and let you know the outcome. Out of interest if changing the sensor has fixed the fault will it dissapear on its own or will it stay on the dash until it is cleared/erased?

The sensor arrvied on saturday and ~I fitted it today. I took apart the hub so I could see how clean things were inside. Al seemed ok. Once I saw the new sensor I knew how much I needed to drill out. I basically matched up the drill bit to the sensor width and it was done in a couple of minutes...

Well spotted. I had a skim read of that post last night but must of missed the point of it as it was late. That in hinesight would of been a better method if i'd known the chances of breaking the sensor were high. This is the first time ive had to change an abs sensor. I was avoiding it at first...

If your light isnt on now id leave it well alone. When it comes back id take it to a garage and ask them to tell you which sensor is at fault if you dont happen to know already? My abs sensor is on the rear so no need to go near any driveshafts for me. I havent inspected the front setup as of...

Thanks Dave. I remember you saying that before now but still have gone ahead and opted to change the sensor. I tried removing it... it broke so ive started drilling it out and removing the remains. Plusgas seemed to disolve the plastic on the sensor though. I also fear that I may of drilled in...

My gizmo arrived today :) I just fitted it and it works a treat :D Im really chuffed with it for the £15 I paid. The other connector doesnt support blackberry but is still useful for camera charging. Some install piccys below...

Thanks Brian. I know what you mean. I think it would be a quick and easy job to replace the wheels sensor anyhow then crack on with this other abs module job. The car isnt used everyday at the moment so I have that in my favour. What I want to avoid is taking it back to the garage to check ive...

Just to give some background info... I have carried out engine swaps in the past on older hondas (CRX, civic) but never got involved in anything newer than obd1. I have a set of the flared nut spanners and some fine sandpaper to hand (800, 1000, 1200, 1500grit). Im confident in doing this job if...

Thanks, that certainly does sound less daunting. Its got me thinking what do BBA reman do to the pump? I found a thread on honda tech showing how to fix an abs module ... http://honda-tech.com/honda-prelude-4/abs-code-1-fix-pics-2830570/ Id be more than happy to give this a go but do you...

I took it to a garage today where they used a scanner on it. They tried with the snap on one but in the end went with the bosch scanner I think. It came up with rear right wheel sensor and abs pump module failure which I was dreading as thats the expensive bit. He said the wheel sensor being...

My chinese HDS thingy arrived a few days ago. I plugged it in and it came up with no codes shown although the ABS light is still on. Can I try clearing the light/code by disconnecting the battery? If not can anyone whos familiar with the HDS tell me if im doing something wrong? My MOT is on...

Cheers for the replies fellas. The clutch did slip slightly yesterday when the engine was cold which was slightly worrying. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the links. I have some of those camber kits for my CRX already.

Out of interest can you or anyone point me in the direction of the rear camber kits? Thanks

Thanks Dave. Do you mean driving style as in hard driving? launches from the traffic lights etc? I only paid just over a grand for the car so am hoping to get 2yrs use out of it before swapping it out. IF the clutch went tomorrow then i'd have no option than to break it. We have a baby on the...

I am wanting to lower the accord with springs. Its a 2.2 diesel but my one concern is that it could have a knock on effect to the flywheel problem. Have any other diesel owners lowered their cars and how would you rate it as a mod? Cheers

Cheers Brian. When I press the VSA button I dont see any lights come up on the dash or on the button itself. Maybe this is linked to why my abs light is on.
