1997 Acura CL ABS light coming on

Hi Laurens1,

Thank you for the donation.

The ABS indicator light would turn on when a fault has been detected in the ABS system. It might or might not affect the braking efficiency depending on what is wrong.

You would need to retrieve the trouble codes to understand which component of the ABS is malfunctioning.

Bridge the SCS connector and with ignition switch turned ON, count the blinking of the ABS light to get the trouble code.
