96 Accord - ABS code 1-8 - High Pressure System - ADELAIDE
Hey guys!
long time Honda driver, first time forum poster!
I have a 1996 Accord VTi 20th Anniversary Edition in Sherwood Green and I absolutely love her to bits.
However, I have an issue with my ABS.
Firstly, it was a dead relay (code 1-2). Replaced that, and was fine for about 2 days. Now, my first trip of the day is great, no lights, I hear the ABS pump work and my pedal pressurize, but after that, ABS light on! I keep pulling the code 1-8 (High Pressure System).
Is this a relatively easy fix - are we talking bolt on/bolt off or will the entire assembly with the pump, etc, need to be replaced?
I'm pretty useless at mechanics, but I have a decent understanding of what the parts do etc! My understanding is, that, the computer has isolated the fault to a select area, in my case, the Accumulator (?) I'm not pulling the code for leaks, or any other issues, so is it safe to say that this is my issue? Anyone in Adelaide who could do the repair or point me in the right direction? I've done bit of a call around, and everyone just says don't worry about it... but.. I want my ABS (and the idiot light is getting on my nerves too!!) I've done a bit of googling but I have a weird feeling the US and AU versions are slightly different..?
I'm one to believe that if you look after something it'll look after you, and Honda's are pretty hard wearing.
Thank you so much! :)
