my Honda Accord ABS light is on and traction control disabled what should I do

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and securely parked.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock or short circuits during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Wheel Speed Sensors

• Remove the wheel corresponding to the ABS warning.
• Locate the wheel speed sensor and inspect for damage or dirt.
• If damaged, unplug the sensor, remove the mounting bolt, and replace with a new sensor.
• Torque the new sensor to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 8-10 lb-ft).

3. Check and Refill Brake Fluid

• Locate the master cylinder reservoir.
• Inspect the brake fluid level; if low, refill with manufacturer-recommended brake fluid (usually DOT 3 or DOT 4).
• Replace the cap securely and ensure there are no leaks.

4. Repair or Replace ABS Control Module

• If error codes suggest an ABS control module failure, remove the module by disconnecting the wiring harness and unbolting it from the mounting bracket.
• Install a new ABS control module and reconnect the harness.
• Torque the mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications (check service manual for specific values).

5. Reconnect Battery

• After repairs are complete, reconnect the battery terminals securely.
• Start the vehicle and check if the ABS light remains illuminated.
