what causes my Honda Accord Eleventh Generation (2023-present) ABS light to stay on

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
• Disconnect the battery for safety.

2. Retrieve and Address Error Codes

• Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle’s diagnostic port.
• Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
• Retrieve and note any stored error codes that relate to the ABS system.
• Clear the codes and observe if they return after a test drive.

3. Inspect and Replace ABS Components

A. Check Brake Fluid

• Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap.
• Inspect the fluid level and condition. If low, top off with the recommended brake fluid type (DOT 3 or DOT 4 as specified).
• If contaminated, proceed to flush the brake system.

B. Replace ABS Fuse

• Locate the fuse box and find the ABS fuse.
• Remove the fuse and check for continuity with a multimeter.
• If blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

C. Clean or Replace Wheel Speed Sensors

• Raise the vehicle and secure it on jack stands.
• Locate the ABS wheel speed sensors at each wheel.
• Clean the sensors and their mounting areas with brake cleaner.
• If damaged, remove and replace with new sensors.

4. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the battery terminals.
• Start the vehicle and check if the ABS light has turned off.
• Perform a test drive to ensure ABS functionality and check for any returning error codes.
