Default ABS Warning '95 Integra

Hi,

My '95 Integra is showing an ABS warning light. It comes on
after the car is moving a few mph and stays on. From reading
other posts this possibly indicates a bad sensor. I replaced
the battery yesterday which didn't cure it so, unlike another
post, it was not transient.

I had both rear brakes replaced two weeks ago due to rust.
Is it possible that caused the problem? I can't be sure if
the problem started right after the brake job or not. The light
is most noticeable at night and I don't drive it much at night.

I will likely negotiate a cheap reading of the code. If the repair
is too much I'll just let it go. I still pump the brakes when the
car starts to slide anyway. All the ABS does is startle me when
it comes on. My only concern is that my daughter also drives
the car.

Thanks,
Gary

Coincidence? Maybe, but if you take the car back to the brake shop and
mention the ABS light came on shortly after they did the rear brakes a good
shop will appreciate the opportunity to see if they may have fouled up the
sensor.

That it comes on when you start moving is a strong indication it is a wheel
sensor that is causing the warning.
