Hi,

We have just bought a UK 04 Honda Jazz SE Sport CVT off ebay. The car
is fantastic, but there is one little fault - the ABS light stays on
all the time. I understand that this is probably only the wheel
sensors, but is there a way to read the fault codes from the ABS? I
have read on here about a blue connector under the glove box on older
models, is this still there for the newer cars?

Cheers,
Chris.

==============================

If somebody got grease / muck on the tone rings, you'll need to clean
them up and the fault may go away. Be careful not to damage the CV
boots. See this PDI document for further info:

Some of it will apply to your year.

Important question: What happens with the light if you get in, start the
car, but don't go anywhere for two minutes? What sounds are you hearing
also?

The light comes on with the ignition switched on & then stays on - it
never goes out. I'm not hearing any sounds from the ABS booster, if
that's where you mean?

Cheers,
Chris.

Sounds like the previous owner had some trouble and unplugged or removed
the fuse for the booster. You'll have to do some searching under the
hood to see what's been done. :-(
