Default 2006 Accord v6 warning messages

I recently got the following codes pop up for my 2006 honda accord v6:

13-1 left front wheel speed sensor
61-1 battery voltage malfunction
81-1 abs control unit malfunction
83-1 engine control module/powertrain control module relocation malfunction

Any idea what this means??

I moved your thread from the DIY section. Please take some time to read the forum rules and do not post help questions in the DIY section.

Was there anything done to the car that preceded the trouble codes, accident, repair, etc.?

If not, get the battery tested to rule that out. Most car parts shops will test it for free.

car drives and runs great. couple of things have happened recently (all in march)...

- car rolled down a hill and hit a tree. had to get the rear bumper replaced (cosmetic, nothing to suspect here)

- power steering hose replacement due to recall

The latter is the only thing I can think of being the suspect. Awhile ago (July 2012) I had the bearing replaced on the front driver side.

Are your TCS Activation Indicator and TCS Indicator lamps on?

Deal with the battery issue first. Low voltage can cause all sorts of flaky problems. If your battery is on it's last legs, I wouldn't be surprised if the other problems dissappear with a new battery. Is it the original (7 year old) battery?

Haven't checked the battery yet. I've had the car for about a year and a half and I haven't replaced it.

Guy at the store mentioned a fuse. Could this be it?

Usually(?) a blown fuse won't do this because it simply blows and doesn't give reduced voltage.

Battery tests fine, thanks for the relay/fuse response. Didn't make sense to me either that it would fail.
