Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 200591 Accord EX Anti-Lock Brakes
Did the 91 Honda Accord EX come equipped with anti-lock brakes? If so how can you tell? Adam > Did the 91 Honda Accord EX come equipped with anti-lock brakes? > If so how can you tell? There is a light on the dash that says either "ALB" or ABS". I think yours will say "ALB". It's one of those lights that comes on when you first turn the ignition on, but before you start the car. If you can't see inside, you can also peek under the car at the front brakes (not easy to see). Look for an electrical wire going to the hub near the CV joint. It will be near the top of the CV joint.

The EX got it for '92. Thanks for the quick replies. I'm getting ready to replace the front left and right CV drive axles and they have different ones depending on if you have ABS or don't.

At least make sure the replacement matches yours in that respect. It's nice to have a confidence check on the length, but that's nearly impossible until you get the thing out.

U.S. levels: DX, LX, EX, SE Canadian levels: LX, EX, EX-R, SE On a '92 Canadian Accord, you would have needed to get an EX-R to get ABS. > Did the 91 Honda Accord EX come equipped with anti-lock brakes? > If so how can you tell? > > Adam there's a chuffing great aluminum box with a ton of brake pipes going in and out, and it has a bunch of wires attached. if your ex has one of those under the hood, you have abs. |
