ABS Light Showing On The Dashboard by Demor1: 9:29am On Oct 14, 2022
the ABS indicator keep showing once a while from the dashboard of honda EOD but doesnt affect any functionality of the car.

atimes i will speed up the acceleration to check if it will affect movements in anyway but wont.

i dont know if anyone has experienced such and the eventuality of it

Check if your brake pads are worn out, check the brake fluid to know if it's low, if low bring it to the upper line, if all good then check the abs fuse inside the car compartment. If good then check the abs sensor and wire around your tire to know if it's ok.. Goodluck.. I didn't mention the abs controller itself because your problem no go reach there, hopefully lol

Your ABS doesn't affect your speed so speeding up won't show you anything. But if you speed up and press sharply on your brake. You should feel a sway. That's how you know you have abs problems. But a sway when you match your brake can be something else too (e.g ball joints or alignment issues).
Meanwhile, first check the simply fixes like brake pad and brake fluid. If those are fine. Take off the tires and inspect the abs components. Be ready tho, ABS warning light can be a b1tch, that light doesn't like to go away easily.

Stop doing guess work, scan the car ABS/brake system and post the codes, I’d help tell you how to go about it.

my abs wire around the tyre was disconnected. so, abs shows constantly on my dashboard. my mechanic said that wire disconnected no mean anything much,I should leave it like that. so, we just tie it somewhere around.

even my brake light is showing permanently, mechanic said previous owner disconnected the hand brake, that handbrake doesn't do much as well.

any suggestions?

Your mechanic is an idiot! If you listen to his advice, you would be an idiot too.

Some people have no business owning cars.

Funny how this stupid mechanic talks...

Please don't listen to them, fix the wire and look out for a sensor that goes inside the disk/an opening around the brake disk. If the sensor is no more then you must buy another abs wire that has the sensor. You can check scrab houses for one.. When it is done the abs light and handbrake light will go off

Op it's actually the sensor wire that you need to fixed back. I do have this issue sometimes on my RX 350. Just fix back the wire and the light will go off.
