i am working on a 92 civic ex 1.6. it has been sitting for 8 yrs and my bro-in-law wants to give it to his daughter for her 17th b-day. had the car painted, i drove it home and replaced/flushed all the fluids, rotors, calipers, brakes, and radiator. after bleeding the brakes, i started the car to drive it out of the garage and the ABS light is on.re-bled the brakes three times and it stays on. after bleeding the brakes and no air in the lines, when i start it up the light is on and the pedal is "spongy ." any suggestions?

 

what are the mil codes did you check the codes ???

I think that you get the ABS codes by putting in the same test jumper used to read ECU codes then turn the key on and watch the ABS light blink instead of the CEL.

There is also usually a bleeder on the ABS valve body that needs to be bled as well as the usual process at the wheels.

 

thank you for taking the time to reply and providing this info. i jumped the plug from the computer and it reset the abs module and restored the pedal.

 

my new task is to remove the passenger side trans mount. I'm not sure which side of the mount the bolt is removed from. the front part doesn't want to budge and I'm afraid to break it. which side do i loosen it from?
