2000 Honda Accord sedan ex front brakes locking up
#21
Now I'm confused; a few posts ago you said it had been swapped from a 3.0 liter V6 to a 2.3 liter I4, now you're saying the VIN tags the car as a 4-cylinder model. Am I missing something?

I never said I swapped it I bought it that way so I didn't know for sure thought had a V6

But maybe it's worth a shot. There's an actual procedure for adjusting it, but a ghetto way to check is just shorten the pushrod adjustment by maybe 1.mm to see if it works.

If the pushrod is adjusted too long, that can lock up the brakes, but I'm not sure how that would happen only when it gets warm. Seems like it would be a problem from the beginning.

so you would think if it is OEM you wouldn't have to adjust anything but yeah I might have Adjust it shorter. Everyone saying calipers but it's a weird how they both lock up same time and get worse. Everything to cool down and they start working again.

That's what I was thinking the master cylinder doesn't look that old really but it is a Honda one

the SRS light is on and stays on. I'm about to give up not finding any answers to my problem!!

Computer issues cannot cause brakes to lock up on a 2000 Accord.

Ok let me get this straight. You have changed the brakes, calipers and hoses and you're still have locked brakes? Something is not right. Your abs light should only effect the abs system, unless the abs system is engaging then it's not your issues. Did you bled the system when changing the calipers? Have you changed your half shafts before and put the non abs shafts in?
