Well, if an ECU reset doesn't clear it, it could be a real problem, right? The ABS sensor on that wheel might be damaged.

Try not to double post.

If you go to the second page ... the little 1,2,3 at the bottom of the 'Under the hood' forum, you'll see your original post with the solution.

To summarize: the ABS light will not reset until you have fixed the problem ... ie - replace the bad sensor on the corner that was damaged ... simple as that. Your dealer may check the code for free (mine did) if you ask them to. It takes less than 5 minutes.

There is a procedure for doing this. It can be found in the Helm manual. Try it.

I reset my SRS light using that procedure. By the way, I used a jump wire where it says to use only the special Honda tool, and not a jump wire. My car did not burst in to flames, nor did my airbags explode. However, YMMV.

Or they may not (do it for free).

Did you ever think that there's an actual problem (other than a faulty speed sensor) that's causing the ABS light to turn on? If you just wanted to avoid the problem and reset the light so you don't actually see the light, why not just cover the ABS light with black electrical tape?

Fix the problem and the light will turn off by itself.

Also, it may be more than just a bad wheel speed sensor. If it were just that, there would probably be a DTC for "faulty VSS" or something along those lines. The ABS light turns on when your ABS has been disabled. I'd go ahead and replace the wheel speed sensor. If the light still doesn't turn itself off, inspect your braking system on that wheel; it wuoldn't hurt to check the others, as well.

an abs light should reset itself..some codes do not, but i believe your speaking of a wheel speed sensor code... it should turn off at around 10mph if no problem exists. if it doesnt turn off there is something still wrong

Shut up.
