Before i starting do my bushes, my ABS light came on and i have no idea why.

I was under the car today and whilst looking under the cars at the rotors/wires etc all seemed fine.

I took it to a garage to get the code read via a 'Snapon' reader, though it didnt have the function to read ABS for < 2002, => 2002 had this option but it didnt work.

Is there a paperclip method?, i know there is for ECU fault code reading via this paperclip method, but i never got this to work in my UK car. I think the ABS/ECU reading via paperclip is for JDM cars only.

Please help until i have to folk out

 

Is this what you mean? :

yep, that link states ecu code reading. Im after ABS

But i dont think it works on model year 2000 uk cars, or een any uk cars

 

Only the JDMs have the more advanced ECU with paper clip support.

You'll have to go to Honda like a chump.

 

Was the car sitting on idle when it came on aj, Only honda can read abs codes as i found out the hard way .

Long story short mine had air in the system came out on its own in the end .

 

haha

Damn, this is what i expected have to get bummed by honda.

Seriously back when i bought the car, i know i have said this several times but i'd of prefered to have a JDM not just for this reason but for a few others too.

 

Hi mate, kinda yes i was sitting in the car about 2 weeks ago waiting for my GF in the chippy.

I was bored and was watching the rev counter (i blipped accelerator once or twice) had noticed it come on, i dont know if it was to do with this but it wasnt on the day before.

Air in the system?, did honda's diagnostic system find this out? - actuator??

 

So what are the few other reasons??

I have a JDM but all i know is my car is worth less than a UKDM.....

 

Surely the ABS fault might have generated an error in the ECU log?
It does on other cars.

 

at 8 years old that difference will be negligible.
