[edit] Anti-Lock Braking System (ALB)

The NSX ALB system, more commonly referred to as the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System). The system is made of a modulator, pump and an accumulator. This system was used in the 1990-1999 models, with the 1997-1999 modulator slightly different.

The system was completely changed in 2000-2005 to a more responsive, simpler integrated unit and renamed ABS.

[edit] Trouble Shooting

If the ALB pump times out at 120 seconds consistently it means that the system is not developing or sensing enough internal pressure. An unplugged or bad pressure sensor will also invoke the pump to time out after 120 seconds and throw the ABS light.

You may check the pressure sensor that is attached to the Accumulator (big metal ball). The round disc shaped sensor it attached with a banjo bolt. The sensor will read 0.0 ohms when system is fully pressurized. The sensor is infinite (open) in all other conditions.

If your ALB fuse is blown, check for rat bites on the lower pump motor wires. These motor wires seem to be a favorite of rodents to chew on, they are also very low on the vehicle with a nice platform for rats to stand on.

To bypass a non-functioning ABS system without throwing codes or warning lights is to simply short the pressure sensor connector (57390-SM4-003 001 SWITCH ASSY., PRESSURE) will cause the ABS system to show OK. The pressure sensor connector is the orange one underneath brake master cylinder, separate and use a jumper wire to short the connection that comes from the bulkhead. Pulling fuses, relays from the ABS will throw warning lights and also cause the TCS not to function.

The modulator can be rebuilt in the US for $795 by AutoECU [[1]] (information good as of 03/2006)

[edit] Parts Interchange

The 1997, 1998, 1999 ABS Modulators are slightly different to accommodate the larger spare tire. The modulator will swap with previous years 1991-1996, but you will have to re-bend the hard brake lines to the brake master cylinder.

The 2000+ ABS system is completely different under the hood.

The entire ABS system is made by Nissin Brake [[2]]. Nissin parts are available through normal auto parts supply houses. Just because the dealer (Factory, HNA) only offers part assemblies does not mean small individual parts are not available through alternate means. Any good brake shop should be able to help you get exact OEM parts cheaper than the dealer.

The individual solinoids appear to be made by Sumitomo.

The pump assembly was used in the following cars: Accord, Prelude 89-91 Legend, CRX 89-90

[edit] Part Numbers

The North America service procedure is that the modulator, pump and accumulator are to be replaced as whole assemblies. The replacement of these whole assembly are extremely expensive and, in most cases, unnecessary.

Outside of North America the servicing of the internals of the ABS system is recommended and parts are supplied.
