abs light issue

May 31, 2007 3 Replies

The abs light on my 97 Acura 3.0 CL sometimes will stay on. So, I had dealer run diagnostic and they said it was a leak between the accumulator and modulator. I am an old time mechanic and hot rodder that's done a lot of engine/transmission and suspension work in my time but I have not worked on abs systems. I did some research on google and found that there is an O-ring between the accumulator and modulator. I would like to replace this part. How difficult is this work? Are there any special tools needed? Thank you.

You need to tell us the actual CODES from the work order. All else is speculation. The interpretation isn't what you paid for.

The diagnotic trouble code is 1-8. Could this be an abs sensor code and not a high pressure code. Thank you.

If this guy doesn't fix Acura ABS someone iwll. Usually it is a heatsink that needs to be resoldered on the module?

Also, you can ask this guy questions...

Good Luck, Darren
