Hi! I'm looking for an ABS pump for my 1993 Prelude Si-VTEC.

Is it making a whine noise, then stopping and the ABS light coming on? If so, there's a fix.
It involves a partial strip down and a clean. I'll try to find it and post the link.

Hi. I'm not sure there's whine, but the ABS light is on. I looked up the dash error code months ago, and that indicated a problem with the ABS pump. I showed my mechanic a print out of a web page that details how to clean the ABS, and he's agreed to try it. But just in case it doesn't fix it, I thought I try finding a used replacement as well, just in case cleaning didn't fix it. Then he could just swap it out rather than my car be in bits in his garage while I hunt for a replacement.

Yep, sounds like a plan. That is indeed the link too.
Mine has come on recently, I'm led to believe its as a result of not being driven a lot, which would make perfect sense in my case, as it doesn't do a lot of miles anyway and was off the road for about a month with a battery draining central locking issue. Thankfully its a piggyback type system so not the be all and end all, but I'd like to get around to cleaning mine in the near future.

Also, that's a good write up/link on possible repair.

Hi. It was back in December when I checked the code, but I'm pretty sure the code was 1. I live in Chatteris, which is between Cambridge and Peterborough, kinda.
