Tim,
If the light comes on after you start driving, it's often one of the
wheel sensors. They get rusty, eaten by road salt, magnetized, or just
beat to heck over the years. If you can determine (for sure) which
sensor it is, just change it. Even by yourself. It could even just be
corrosion inside the connector, or the tone ring is so rusted that you
need to clean the tone ring with a wire brush and then the adjustment
needs to be moved tighter.
If the light comes on _before_ you even move the vehicle (usually after
hearing the ABS pump running three or four times), then it's the
modulator, or low on brake fluid in the ABS's reservior. now it may be
more expensive.
NEVER believe the dealer's expensive quote before you a few bucks worth
of research.

Couldn't agree more. I manage to do most of my own work but have never dealt
with ABS or Honda before.
The light comes back on after a few seconds of just sitting still. I'll look
into it deeper after the weather gets better and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again,

Re: ABS
"NEVER believe the dealer's expensive quote before you a few bucks worth
of research"
Couldn't agree more. I manage to do most of my own work but have never dealt

The light comes back on after a few seconds of just sitting still. I'll look
into it deeper after the weather gets better and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again,
Tim
