ABS fault on my 92 Del Sol

[trentski]

Hi guys my abs light is on and I was wondering if any one knows how to diagnose the abs systems faults. Is there a led system that flashes a certain amount to determain exactly what is wrong or is it the type that will have to be connected to hondas computer to determain the fault. If its the old skool led system can anyone give me the fault codes and tell me where i need to go to find the ecu.

cheers in advance.

have you got ABS working though ? does it lock up ?? i havn seen a del sol that DID have ABS stil lworking LOL..

[trentski]

it used to work but failed awhile ago now i want it to work again, is this a common failing thing in the del sol

[ECU-MAN]

short the SCS connector for the PGMFI system and watch the ABS ligth

post your fault codes here

[SMI-33K]

check your fuse they always blow

Ok now i know what you are asking me to do but i have no idea where the SCS connector is, i thought it was in the engine bay like on most of my old cars but could not find one. Where is it?

[ECU-MAN]

on the passangers floorwell kick pannel

its the two pin connector in the green rubber holder

you just jump the same plug as when you check the CEL's ?? ABS light on the cluster ?
or do u use the other side of the plug that you dont normally use ?

[vinnY]

^ same plug

[trentski]

ok i got 1 flash a pause then 2 more flashes

[vinnY]

front left sensor I believe

[lsvtec]

hey champ pretty much every del sol has the abs light on in the cluster, just a common fault.

[vinnY]

^ I don't get it, are you telling him not to worry about it or that it's an easy fix?

[lsvtec]

well ive got that light on in my del sol and it doesnt make a idffernence to my car.

[vinnY]

question is does your abs work at all and have you bothered to even check up the error code?

[ECU-MAN]

Main Code 1 and Sub Code 2 = ABS pump Motor

[vinnY]

^ oh so it's 1-2 not 12? guess I was figuring it was the same as my ek

[trentski]

ok so the pump motor has issues, does anyone know if this would be an expensive item to replace? ECU MAN thankyou very much for your help.

it will make a difference, it means your brakes will lock up and not do what the ABS system is designed to do which is to not allow the wheels to lock and skid.

i know a trick to avoid the problem ;)
unplug that warning light from yr cluster and train yr right foot up lol

[ECU-MAN]

you need to check the fuses in the ABS fuse box on the LH Shock tower.

you can unplug the ABS pump relay from within the fes box and bridge the relay pins to force the pump to run, see the photo below. if it runs then you have a fault in the relay circuit for the pump

its a tricky one, yesterday i pulled all the fuses then put them back in then i heard the pump run but still the light stayed on, now this morning i tried what u last mentioned buy trying to make the pump run and it would not run. Now going through the original owners paperwork its actualy been faulted in the past and error code 12 (ABS motor circuit) so now i am unsure if its the circuit or th pump cause i heard it run yesterday but now cant force it to run by shorting those 2 pins under the bonnet.

[ECU-MAN]

do yo uhave the correct two pins ?


also clear the codes from the ABS and see if it comes back ( im sure it will )

[trentski]

Yeah i am certain i have the right 2 pins i had a look at the pic u posted and i tried it with ign off and then on and nothing, also how do i clear the codes mate?

[ECU-MAN]

bridge the SCS, turnt he ignition on wit foot on brake pedal, when ABS ligth goes out depress the brake pedal, then the light comes on press te pedal, then ABS light blinks twice. thats it

new oem abs pumps are about $1500, had the same prob with my brothers crx.

[trentski]

ECU MAN i have not reset the fault codes yet i have no seats in the car, the being recovered so when i get em back i will let u know the out come


and 1500 for a pump thats quites expensive lol.
