I have a 2016 Civic EX 2.0 Vtech and recently came across an issues with dash lights coming on out of the blue. While driving and applying a break all of the lights on my dash came on. Electric parking break problem, tire pressure monitor problem, break system problem, break hood system problem, antilock break system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start stability problem. I have scanned the vehicle for codes, checked the battery and alternator all checked out with no issues. I decided to take a look at abs sensors and came across an issues on the driver side. Unplugged the sensor and checked for current with the volt meter AC setting and spinning the hub, nothing at all. But there is a secondary issues also. Wire harness on the engine side not abs side was fried few inches above the connector. Have no idea as to why. Ground wires are good. It was attached with original push clip to the body and it didn’t rub against anything. Spoke with Honda and was given a price for abs sensor 55.00 and told I need engine room wire harness 490.00. Can I swing it by cutting off the fried section of the wire on the engine room wire harness by soldering a new section of a same gauge wire without issues or codes.?
once again it’s not the wire in the abs sensor but passed the harness connection where the abs sensor plugs into engine room wire harness.
Thank you to ALL
Sure, you can sat around new wiring if you do it. Careful job. I would wonder why it fried though and realized once wiring fries feeds back to the computer all bets are off. You could have computer circuit problems relating to that original problem that can then affect many other systems
I have seen people having the same issue when I pulled it up on YouTube. Same year make and model. Same lights on the dash leading to the abs sensor. I was hoping it would be a quick swap until I seen the harness on the engine side burned about 2-3 inches passed the connection. I will check the grounds again. If it’s computer related (abs module or car main computer.?)How would you go about checking that.?
Thank you for making all the videos.
