Car Forum / Acura Cars / June 2006ABS light on 98 Integra GSR
ABS light just came on on my 98 Integra GRS, 70k miles. Friend had a 99 Accord and they told him 1000 to fix. Anyone have any ideas?? > ABS light just came on on my 98 Integra GRS, 70k miles. Friend had a 99 > Accord and they told him 1000 to fix. Anyone have any ideas?? You don't need to fix the whole ABS... Just a part or a few. Try going to the Acura dealer and ask them to test out your ABS on the Integ. It will only cost about 100 or more. Then, you can buy whatever part (s) you need! Ebay has ABS part real cheap. I mean dirt cheap... > ABS light just came on on my 98 Integra GRS, 70k miles. Friend had a 99 > Accord and they told him 1000 to fix. Anyone have any ideas?? Does the light come on when the car is just started, but *stationary*, or immediately after it starts to move? This is an important distinction.

This is an important distinction. Since you have a newer model Intergra, you'll need to get the error code from the ODB-II port. You'll either need to buy a scanner or go to the dealer and get the error code. Report back to us the error code.

This is unrelated to the wheel sensors. Get the error code read by someone with an OBD-II scanner.

Could still be a wheel sensor. My '98 Ody ABS light was lit all the time until my mechanic replaced the wheel sensor. Hasn't come on since. Don't ask me why but the light has suddenly gone off. It has been raining like crazy in NY the past couple of days. What are the chances the rain/humidity fixed the sensor? >>> "TeGGeR®" <tegger@tegger.c0m> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > time until my mechanic replaced the wheel sensor.

What are the chances the >rain/humidity fixed the sensor? I don't know about the rain, but sometimes the wheel sensor gets obscured by a flake of rust or something which later falls off. Tegger is right saying get the code while you can. Then (safely) test the system (easy while it is raining) to verify that it is working. If you can feel the ABS pulse the brakes and the light stays off, save the code and forget about it. >>>> "TeGGeR®" <tegger@tegger.c0m> wrote in message >>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> time until my mechanic replaced the wheel sensor.

Anyone have any ideas?? i have a 99 acura CL and my ABS light came on to and they sad $1000 to fix but there was nothing wrong with my brakes and about a month later the light went off. so make sure it isnt the lights loose or any thing before u spend $1000. |
