Default ABS light on after 120mph run and roof question

Hello, iv just taken the car for a drive and noticed the ABS light came on at around 120mph. It stayed on all the way home.

Anyone got any ideas of what i should check? Im new to hondas but iv had a couple of mitsubishis and toyotas.

I have only had the car one week and its my daily drive so i need to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Also could you guys tell me if my roof is sat to high when retracted?

roof looks correct, check your brake fluid level

Cool thanks! Another member said i may need new straps so i took better pics, i think its had a new roof with glass rear screen at some point.

Brake fluid is good, iv found out that I need to jump port 4 and 9 to get the error codes so ill report back after iv done that!

Brake fluid level can not cause an ABS light.

Yes jump 4-9 to get your codes...this also works for CEL and SRS. All three will be flashing codes.

Roof looks high.

If you dont hold that mid bar (The one with the elastic straps) back with your finger, the top will not fold right and it will sit high. Next the top will cut itself.

Is that S2K specific? The ABS light does come on on my other car with lower brake fluid. The top looks correct, the middle of the convertible :edit: top :/edit: is below the trunk level.

Hold that mid bar back until your arm comes close to the secret compartment.

The pic is dark, but to me it looks like the bar is inverted. Never mind where the top sits on modifrys pics. Look at the top where it is blocking the little back window.

My ABS light comes on at 97mph. I am pretty sure I tweaked an ABS sensor when I was changing an axle a few years ago.

It goes back off after a few driving cycles.

My ABS light came on at 120 mph also. Stayed on for a little while, parked the car, started it a few hours later and it went off.
