unless you bleed them backwards. with an abs system you bleed starting with the caliper clostest to the master cylinder and going out. if you didn't have abs you would start at the farthest caliper from the mc and work torwards the master cylinder

juice your a fucking retard yourself. Read my post better. Instead of half ass.

So I guess that since the abs light is on, just replace the wheel sensor. I guess since "9" out or "10" times it is a wheel sensor. Although you are probably right, this still doesn't mean to just go out and buy a wheel sensor and slap in on there. How do you know its a wheel sensor???? Where to fuck did you get that shit? And no shit. If you read my post you would have realized that the brake light is a indicator. )low fluid) which I should have made clear would come on if your low on fluid or low fluid could be caused from moisture in the lines or a leak in the system. Like I said! I didn't say anything as far as o its means to flush the system.

A squishy pedal doesn't automatically just mean the master is bad. Most your replies are just throwing parts and guessing what the problem is. My personal opnion would be find out what the problem is and fix it. Most people fail and trying to diag and problem with there car instead its goes by whats the most common thing to fix by history. Seriously thought you were cool as fuck till you start this shit.


Here let me make this so clear to you like your 3.

The brake light (red light) that says BRAKE!
*low on fluid
*Usually the only time your low on fluid is you need brake service
*You usually don't just add brake fluid to a master cylinder and top it off. This is why i was trying to say its more of a indicator. Could also mean a leak in the system, from moisture in the lines, leaking seal etc.. it depends on other also. Like checking the brake master cylinder. You can't always just assume what the problem is and tell people to go spend some 100 dollars on a part. I could go on and on and on about this. Why though its not benifiting me.

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!

+1 He's right but, if it was your speed sensor on obd1 models most times your Actual Speedometer will malfunction or jerk.
I work at Arlington Honda i see this all the time.
Its a simple fix air in brakes 5 mins to bleed, or see if you could put a damn pedal to the floor thats it !
I cold be able to read the code for you but, i'm in Wash DC

Yea i can see what your saying, you guys basically said the same thing just different words. But, really there is no right answer until the job is complete. Right answers when it comes to the automotive repair comes by trial and error and solving the problem and when its fixed you may have your " right answer" thats the only way to say one of you are correct. There could be one brake problem that could have many variables. But, there was alot of good information put out on this tampa racing forum i am really shocked by the amount of knowledge on this board. crap the junior mechanics out of school can't even find the speed sensor !!!! Shyte yall think you know the problem help this guy out both of you arguing go see can fix it first instead of arguing like school girls.

well now that i'm back in tampa i'm going to try again to see if they can read the code and if not i'm going to see if theres some greese or something on the abs sensors that would make it not read, and then bleed them if there isnt and see if that helps....thanx all
