ABS light goes on & stays on after 2min drive by cybercool
Apr 30, 2008 (6:30 pm)

Hi all,
 
Can someone refresh my memory and and tell me when the ABS light goes on what does it mean and is it expensive to fix. Will a brake job be totally unrelated to an ABS job? My thought was if I had a brake job done it'll fix the ABS lighting problem.
 
Thanks
Cybercool

The BRAKE light means there is a fault with the BRAKE system, the ABS light means there is a fault with the ABS system. They are pretty unrelated. The brake light will come on for a loss in brake pressure (busted line, bad master cyl, low fluid) which all have nothing to do with the ABS light.
The ABS light comes on for problems with the speed sensors, problems with the computer brain, or problems with the hydraulic actuator.
 
No, getting new brake pads will not fix the ABS light.

No bleeding or draining should be necessary.
 
The belt deflection is:
 
BELT DEFLECTION [1]
 
New Belt 9.5 - 11.5 mm (0.37 - 0.45 in)
  
Used Belt 12.5 - 16.0 mm (0.50 - 0.62 in)
 
 OR you can use:
 
BELT TENSION [2]
 
New Belt 700 - 900 N (70 - 90 kg, 154 - 198 lbs)
  
Used Belt 350 - 500 N (35 - 50 kg, 77 - 110 lbs)
[1] As measured between pulleys with 22 lbs (10 Kg) of force. A used belt is defined as been continuously running for five minutes.
[2] Using tension gauge.
 
When using a new belt, first adjust the deflection or tension to the values for a new belt, then run the engine for five minutes and readjust the deflection or tension to the values for used belt.

Don't Shift, Don't Turn Engine by bubuyog3

My Honda was driving fine yesterday. This morning, I could not start it-- the key would not turn and the shiftstick would not move. My ten-year old son was fumbling inside the car yesterday but he denied touching anything except the garage door opener. What happened? What to do?
 
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Try turning the steering wheel one way then the other while turning the key.

Glad to hear it worked!!!
 
When you mentioned your son was in the car, but he didn't say he touched anything, I thought maybe he grabbed the steering wheel, gave it a twist, locking the steering wheel but also locking it under torque. That can lock things up until you turn it.
