Dont know what you should be searching for but go to a scrap yard for that mate, tell em honda want a few hundred quid for one and you was hoping to get it for 50 quid or summit, you never know your luck!

Then maybe ask a private garage you trust to fit it for you.

 

That's exactly my plan. I already found a guy who has got civic parts for sale. He told me that he has got ABS but he doesn't know much about it (same like me) so we are not sure what he should look for . When I searched the internet there was very little about ABS modulator so I need at least a picture or good description where in the car it is and how it looks like

 

sorry to hear your problems, i have a electronic civic worksop manual, i have copied and text one how remove / fit a new modulator unit. the unit is located drivers side front wheel arch, involves removing bumper etc. Also, and this maybe wrong, but there is a part number of SMG6E00D10600012345KDAD01 mentioned in the manual.

removal / refit instructions:

Removal:

1) remove inner fender

2) remove front bumper

3) Disconnect the ABS modulator-control unit 26P connector (A) by pulling up the lock (B); the connector disconnects itself.


4) Disconnect the six brake lines from the ABS modulator-control unit.

NOTE: Brake lines are connected to the master cylinder (C) and to the right-front (D), the left-rear (E), the right-rear (F), and the left-front (G) brake systems.

5) Remove the ABS modulator-control unit (H) with the bracket (I) from the body.


6) Remove the ABS modulator-control unit from the bracket.

Installation

1.
Install the ABS modulator-control unit on the bracket.

2.
Install the bracket with the ABS modulator-control unit.

3.
Reconnect the six brake lines, then tighten the flare nuts to specified torque.

4.
Align the connecting surface of the ABS modulator-control unit 26P connector to the ABS modulator-control unit.

5.
Lower the lock of the ABS modulator-control unit 26P connector, then confirm the connector is fully seated.
6.
Install the guard.

7.
Install the front bumper.

8.
Install the front inner fender.

9.
Bleed the brake system.

10.
Start the engine, and check that the ABS indicator goes off.

11.
Test-drive the vehicle, check that the ABS indicator does not come on.

NOTE: If the brake pedal is spongy, there may be air trapped in the modulator and then induced into the normal brake system during modulation. Bleed the brake system again.




Hope this helps.

this may help.....

 

Thanks to both of you rawwu and mike, I will give it a go and I will let you know if I was successful.

 

I found couple of ABS on e-bay but they are from type-r or type-s. Do you know is it's fit? Thanks

 

Just a quick update - I bought on e-bay abs pump + modulator (£115), and went today to my local garage to get it fit. When I later arrived to pick up the car, mechanic told me that he found something (?) burned on my original ABS so he fix it and didn't need to change the ABS at all!!! Now it works perfectly, no warning lights, nothing. They charge me for that repair £220 (I think that only because I told them what they wanted to charge me in Honda - £1040!!!). I am returning the ABS back to the e-buy seller so altogether it costs me around £300 which is not bad considering the Honda quote. It's just a shame that you take a car to a dealer hoping that if nobody else they must now the car and how to fix it and all they can do is just replace the part. Well I will probably stay away from Honda dealers as far as I can.

 

Haha, weird burnin' - a cigarette?
But anyway it is good that the problem solved out

 

Nice to know its sorted! I'd try and find out what caused the burning tho so it doesn't happen again. Honda probably would have still changed the box as it could have been that malfunctioning that caused it.

well, Honda would probably change the whole car rather than trying to fix it [smilie=fixtit.gif]

 

really good recon company near me BBA Reman . Did the ABS modulator on my audi for £100 2 year warrenty google it they do electric rack recon too

 

Hi, my name is Len. I am a newbie! I have a 57 plated type r fn2. I had similar issues for few months. I have the Abs pump changed few days ago. But the lights are still there, what else I can do? Could you help, please? Rawwu
Thanks

 

Hi Pottsy,

Thanks for letting me to join the civic info.

My name is Len. I am a newbie! I have a 57 plated type r fn2. I had issues with ABs, vsa, brake light and exclamation lights on for few months. They normally came on in first time in the day. After the trip to work, the lights didn't come on afterwards. I have the Abs pump changed few days ago. But the lights still came up as usual.

Before that, the deal show there are issues, open circuit with modulator 54-1, and 73-1 yaw rate sensor failure. All the abs sensors was checked by my local garage. What else it can do now.

Thanks
