Just wondering if anybody else has had this issue with their ABS. ABS light doesn’t light during self check and the brakes lock. I’ve checked all my fuses, solenoids, pump, harness and all checked out good. Getting power where I need power and have continuity where I should. When I turn the key, the abs light doesn’t come on for the self check. When I take the module off the mount (it’s grounded to the chassis) the light comes on, so I know the light works. After doing so much research I came across that if it doesn’t self check then it’s more than likely the module. Just got another module and it’s doing the same thing. Also no flashing lights on the module to call out faults. Am I missing something?

What model do you have?
RS & LS models have 4 wheel disc brakes, while the GS and GS-R models have ABS.
GS model
Bump. Anyone else have any ideas what to check?
What is self check?
When turning the key to ig2 your ALB light will come on and then go off after it performs it’s self check.

Ok i see what your saying. Rip it out i would say.
I almost ended up hitting somebody cuz they cut me off while it was raining and didn’t like the fact the wheels locked up and the car kept going, getting closer to them. Just want everything working as it should.
Did you happen to check the Helms manual? I don’t have ABS so never encountered this problem.
I have the helms, Chilton and the Acura service manual. Manual says to replace module if everything is good and no light. Replaced module and still does the same thing.
Do you have a known good ECU you can try?
The ABS ECU I replaced was from eBay and they claim it was good. Idk how they claim to know that but I just went with it. I figured I wouldnt get one to cause the same issue.
No, I meant the actual MAIN ECU.
The engine ECU is a known good one that I had to order cuz the original crapped out on me. I’m sure I ordered the same part number ECU as well. I haven’t found anything that ties those two systems together. Are they tied in some how?
Might be. I was only able to fix my fuel priming issue by replacing the ECU. But it looks like you’re already on a replacement so hm…
