Kind of suck to have a fast car when you can't even go as fast. I'm just afraid this trouble might persist on a track which is worst. I'm thinking about driving real fast on the freeway on monday before I go to the dealer to have it checked. Hopefully there won't be any traffic to stop me from going fast. The light should come back on for me to hit the dealer.

Did you check to see if you have a loose fuse?

I did sustained driving over 80MPH for quite a while (20+ minutes) and did not have this problem, at speeds up to 125MPH.

Just got back from the dealer today. They do not know what's going on. Today I hit the freeway at 90MPH and light comes on. I exit the freeway to make a U-turn. Took the regular streets to the dealer and as I drove there, damn light went off. I took this car to the dealer and they do not know what's going on. I paid them $10 for a 5 minute look at my car (diagnostic). Basically worthless since I already "check" my car. I'll just learn to live without the ABS system when going fast.

Take a look at this post by "sime":

They found 2 faulty ABS wheels sensors on his car while doing another job. You don't have to have a light before you diagnose a problem.

I understand you don't need a warning light to have a problem. Dealer doesn't...I brought the car to the dealer and they said they didn't find any problem. Since I wasted their "5 minutes," they rediculously charge me $10 just for a quick look. I'll just drive the car until something does happen and I'll go back to the dealer to scream at them...

It may be time to find a new dealer.

Yes find a new dealer...though not a Honda dealer, a Saturn dealership was looking at mine for 30 minutes, said that they couldn't find anything wrong. They washed my car and said have a good day. No Charge.
