Interesting.. I've had a couple times where I would get a bunch of lights on my dash all at the same time like Check Engine, ABS, Traction Control, etc. The problem went away on it's own and I figured it must be some intermittent sensor on maybe the Canbus or sensor data line pulling down that bus/line which would cause the ECM to think multiple problems. Well if it happens again, I will take a look at this module. Lucky for me, I have 30+ years of soldering experience so shouldn't be a problem..
What soldering iron did you use? How did you ensure the wires weren't touching each other? Did you use the insulation from the Cat5 Ethernet cables? Congrats!
If you don't have the ABS light on and only have others like Steering, LDW, FCW, Traction and TPMS it's probably the VTEC Solenoid Valve Circuit. Try fixing that before touching the ABS module. That was my case. After replacing the valve all lights are gone. And BTW, you can actually replace it yourself not difficult. Same for model 2013-2016
Maybe I should go to a Honda dealer and ask one of the workers to find out if the ABS module for my 2013 Honda Accord is under recall or warrantee, so I can possibly avoid paying for the repair.
Did u get abs light on the dashboard for this? I’m facing similar issue with all the lights except I don’t have abs light and engine light. Likely it needs to be reset by a Honda tech professional scanner or any kind of scanner that would do the job to reset it.
So you did have abs light on your dashboard. I thought about fixing my abs module too but not anymore since I don’t have abs light on my dash. It just simply means I’m having software issue somewhere else and the abs module is not involve with it…I finally figured out on this that it’s actually my steering wheel sensor need replaced also cuz I only replaced the clock spring last time I did the job. The steering wheel sensor as u may know is attached to the clock spring behind it.
So i replaced the abs pump due to one line not getting brake fluid to a caliper. I re installed my old module due to the car not starting with the one that came with the pump. Now i have all kinds of lights. Would it need to be re program?
Love your videos Is it safe to go through eBay. I had a electric laboratories say you need to reprogram it and it could be dangerous when it rains (locking of the brakes).
hello, I have a question, my accord has that problem, it's a 2013 EX-L, it has to be the part specifically for the EX-L or it can fit from any other from that same year, something like an LX can work for my car even if the donor is not EX-L? Thanks
I opened my module up and tried to solder it. I couldn’t get the solder to stick to the connections. I took it to 2 different cell phone repair shops and they couldn’t get solder to stick either. Is it a specific kind of solder? Is anyone else having this problem too?
I had success removing the coating on the board and contacts and using new solid copper 26 awg wire(from cat5 cable). Original wire is welded on and will not accept solder. I had 4 broken wires. Replaced, reinstalled and no codes.
Thank you brother for clarifying the problem that it happened in my country, this car model has all the problems, and the service center refuses to take responsibility. They want customers to pay a lot of money to fix this problem. And there are more and more customers who have this problem in Thailand. I thought, like you, that it was a bad design and that Honda should have to recall to fix this problem, but it hasn't happened yet.
RB Igot all the brake lights on at the rear. I checked the fuses. They good. I checked the brake light sensor. They good. I got the trifecta’s but the abs light turns off but push the break and it turns on. What should I look for 😊
@@RBTheMechanic thx - I have VSA light and randomly power steering light kicks in, never had ABS light. Any idea what could it be? Planning to scan for the VSA codes.
@@RBTheMechanic seeing two codes 81-20 and 85-01. Battery was recently tested and showed needs to be recharged(alternator is good), can it be bad battery?
I still am amazed that so many people pay through the nose for 'quality' Japanese cars, when a Chevy or Ford will outlast them and require 1/5th the maintenance. I've made a good living working on Jaguar and Land Rover 'quality'. Leaking Nissans with trash go-cart transmissions, and yes, the classic Honda and Toyota electrical systems.
I've owned all 3... chevy , Ford, Honda . They all have their problems and I've replaced a transmission on my f150, Tahoe and accord... no car manufacturer gets a pass when it comes to repairs. It's a pick your poison type of thing with cars, if there was a perfect car everyone would be driving it
They make my favorite motorcycles but outside of that I'll pass... They make great generators great lawn mower engines motorcycles like I said but If I want a car I'll drive a Toyota or a Ford
Sir thank you very much for this video. Great explanation. I am having the same problem. Lights are on (ABS , traction control…) however they go off when temperatures are low and it’s cold outside. I went to Honda and they confirmed my fear, ABS modulator. I haven’t fixed it yet but they only did diagnostics. $1700 for a part and $ 250 labor. Just was wondering if you have any opinion why this problem is not there when it’s cold outside like 40 degrees Fahrenheit and do you suggest I sent part to be fixed ? Thank you
Thank you so much for your response! I heard you said eBay for repairs, could you please suggest particular name of service/business on eBay that I should go with ? Thank you again
