Honda Prelude (90) ABS Fault? - BlueSonicBoy
Hi,

I collected my car this morning from my local garage, where it was having a MOT retest, a new coil spring and some welding done (to pass the MOT). As I got to the end of the road and braked there was an alarming clicking noise, banging etc from what I imagine was the ABS system. The brake pedal felt odd but I was only driving slowly so took the car round the block and it did this at every stop. (No warning light on the dash.)

I took the car straight back to the garage who asked me to leave it with them to have a look. Now, not being especially technical minded does anyone have an idea what may have gone wrong? Would the garage have to take apart the brakes to access the front nearside coil spring? Could they have damaged a sensor?

Any help welcomed!

it is possible that by dismantling the suspension that the abs sensor or stator ring on the driveshaft have been damaged.Also if the cable to the sensor has been tugged without disconnection from main harness plug under wing/wheelarch.
