Just bought a $500 94 Accord beater. I knew it would need tires and a serious cleaning. What I didn't expect was the ABS light coming on right after I left the licensing office.

The light lit up and I drove it around town picking up stuff to fix it up. Later I took it out on the freeway to see how it drove and try out the cruise control.

Now the light is lit, speedometer is sporadic, and D4 is flashing on the shift indicator.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks
Steve

PS pictures to follow!

 

Were you able to set the cruise control?

Have you checked for codes? See the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum for a how to on reading CEL/D4/ABS codes on your car.

 

The cruise control worked ONCE! It was about that time the speedo went wonky.

Am not finding the connector that you jump to get codes. Is it near the blower motor?

 

It is near the hinge for the glove box. Normally, it is plugged into a dummy connector, but it could have been pushed out of the way.

Post the code(s) on here and which light flashed codes. You can also google cd7_cd9.pdf to download a 94 shop manual that will help.

You most likely have an issue with the vehicle speed sensor or wiring to the sensor based on your description. Getting the codes will direct you to what issue(s) you are facing.
