same thing with my car, its the BMC

 

why don't you pull the abs code and find out first what your dealing with. You said you have a light on which iam assuming is your abs light? Pull the code and go from there. It would save you alot of time.

 

+1 start where your car is telling you to start

 

yeah check that abs code, if it was a simple bleeding issue that light would not be on. if in fact your abs unit is out, doug (94lsteg) has an extra one. Give him a pm about it if you find yourself with a broken one.

 

does anyone have a abs code reader i can toss 10$ to to read it? let me know i'll be back to tampa tuesday.

I am not 100 percent but I thought someone on here said Advanced auto parts does this stuff for free.

 

the guys couldnt find my code reader, i found the small 2 prong green one by the ecu but they said they couldnt read with that one. parker

 

the abs light is on because one of your speed sensors($125+) is bad. the abs will not throw a code telling you to bleed your brakes or change your BMC.

 

ok well then try this. I know on the civic obd1 abs lights you can turn the ingtion on. Wait 10secs after the ingnition is on. It should display the code. Like reading your check engine light. The code is displayed only once after the ingnition is on. So do it fast or do it again. Make sure you read the led flash right though(abs light). When you figure out the code if you have a manual go from there.

The abs light doesn't mean, wheel sensor is bad. It could be others. It could be a circut control failure etc.. something alot more technical then just "o its a wheel sensor" besides you would have to find out which one anyways. There are four. One on each wheel.

Remember iam talking about a obd1 civic abs checking. It wouldn't hurt to try it on the integra to see if you can get the code off the dash. But then it might be something simple like bleeding the brakes. Iam just trying to help you figure out what your problem is then just wasting your time trying a bunch of other things. Saves you time. If this is your brake light(red) led that is on. Thats more of a indicator like the brake master cylinder. Usually low on fluid from either a leak, moisture in the lines from not keeping up on maintance like flushing the brake system. Which if bad enough would cause this. And damage the abs system operation and function.

 

You have just prooved to all of TR you haven't a clue. if the abs light is on then ONLY the abs won't work. so if you slam on the pedal and lock up your brakes the abs will not engage. this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the original problem he is having. also 9 outa 10 times the abs light will be on because of a bad speed sensor. they ALWAYS go bad. You should NEVER need to flush the system. the red brake light will only come on if your low on fluid or your e-brake is up. it has NOTHING to do with the condition of the brake system. If you bleed your brakes and the petal is still squishy, your bmc IS BAD. don't listen to people who HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE TALIKNG ABOUT!
