The problem is this gives the current fault along with all the old codes that have been rectified. The biggest problem is identifying the new current fault.

So if your ABS light comes on and reads more than one fault you have to clear them all, road test the car till light reappears and then get new fault codes.

To erase EK9 fault codes this is the procedure

1. Turn ignition off
2. Bridge the diagnostic socket
3. Press brake pedal
4. Turn ignition on
5. ABS light will go off after about 2 seconds.
6. After the light goes off release the brake pedal.
7. The light will then come on after about 4 seconds.
8. When the light comes on press the pedal again.
9. When the light goes off the release pedal.
10. ABS light will now flash quickly a number of times to confirm all the code's have been erased.
11. Turn ignition off and remove bridging wire.

Morning!

Do anyone of you has ever done or know on how to clean the inside of the rear lights?

I noticed that my EK9 rear lights (not own an EK9) but lights do are from ek9 are getting a little filthy and nasty on the inside and i will like to clen them up a little bit.

Is it on the same way than the headlights? heating them and then put some silicone on them again?

Any other method?

Thanks

14, 16, 18 = Wheel sensor (Electrical noise/intermittent interuption)
61 = ignition voltage

I have unplugged and checked all plugs, swapped the control unit in the righ of the drivers foot well. Measured resistance on wheel sensors they were all open circuit.

Oh does the ABS auto reset by just driving up the road?

Anyone got any ideas please.

I just bought some Hawk HPS ITR pads for my Spoon calipers, but it looks like the inner pad won't fit because of the riveted metal brake pad wear indicator sticking out. Any ideas?

anyone have any ideas? do you have to bleed ABS or master cylinder seperately etc please help as i have absolutely no idea what is wrong. ]]> Brakes dan22h http://www.ek9.org/forum/brakes/26685-spongy-brakes.html http://www.ek9.org/forum/brakes/26659-prelude-brakes.html Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:38:49 GMT hi guys just wanting to know if the prelude front and rear brakes will/would fit a em1 civic coupe ? cheers guys all feedback :welcome: hi guys
