does it say ABS or Brake? im not sure about a car with ABS, but without ABS, if your BRAKE light comes on without the e-brake up, then you need to change or fill the brake fluid.

thanx for your help but it's ABS not BRAKE light on. I'm not that dumb heheh j/k.

either way I'm not going to pay some specialist 80 bux to pin some connectors and read a blinking light. the problem is i don't know which pins to short. I know it's doable i read it before in a manual, just that i don't have the manual. Can someone help out?

I would like to know the same thing. I am considering a purchase of a 1993 Honda Accord EX wagon w/ABS and I noticed that the
"ABS" light was illuminated. I want to know if it could be a costly repair. I think some of the ABS parts are quite expensive. It does need brake pads replaced at everywheel, but that does not have to do with ABS.

If it's the main unit or the brain its going to be EXPENSIVE. but if it's just a sensor thats a simply uplug and get a new one. I just wan't to know which one is broken on my car

Probably the expensive part on this car. If it is anything like the last car I bought - it will be a money pit.

I wish I had of kept my 93 Camry LE w/212K that was in mint conditions.
