4. The blinking frequency indicates the DTC. DTCS are
indicated by a series of long and short blinks. One
long blink equals 10 shon blinks. Add the long and
short blinks together to determine the DTC. After
determining the DTC, refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index.
NOTE:. lf the DTC is not memorized, the ABS indicator
will go off for 3.6 seconds, and then come back
on.. lf the ABS indicatorstays on, troubleshootfor"ABS indicator does not go off" (see step 1 onpage 19-53).
Th€ system will not indicate the DTC unless these
conditions are met:. The brake pedal is not pressed.. The ignition switch is turned ON {ll).. The SCS circuit is shorted to body ground before
the ignition switch is turned ON (ll).

How to Clear ABS DTCs
Honda PGM Tester Method:
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A)to the l6Pdata link connector (DLC)
{B} under the driver's side of the dashboard.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), and clearthe
DTC(s) by following the screen prompts on the
PGM Tester.
NOTE: See the Honda PG l\4 Tester user's manual
for sDeclf ic instructions.
Cycling the lgnition Switch Method:
Clear the DTC by turning the ignition switch ON (ll) then
OFF at least 20 times.

ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the
vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration
based on the rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel and transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function
1. TheABScontrol unitisequippedwithamainCPUandasub-CPU.EachCPUcheckstheotherforproblems.
2. The CPUS check the circuit of the system.
3. TheABScontrol unitturns ontheABS ind icator when the unitdetectsa problem andthe unit stops th e system.
4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:. lnitial diagnosis. Regular diagnosis
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding and checking wheel sensor signals. use the Honda
PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific operating instructions.

System Description (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valves, outlet solenoid valves, reservoir, pump, pump motor, and the
damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator
becausethe brakefluidcirculatesthroughthecaliper,reservoir,andthemastercylinder.Thehydrauliccontrol has
three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent
four-channeltype, one channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode: Inletvalve open, outlel valve closed
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode: lnlet valve closed, outlet valve closed
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.
Pressure reducing mode: Inlet valve closed, outlet valve open
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
lvlotor operation mode: When starting the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON.
When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.
The caliper fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the
master cvlinder.

Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic
coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit
detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed.

When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes and il necessary, the outlet valve
opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, and the outlet valve closes, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.
