Or take it to your local Honda dealer and have them read the codes. They'll pin point what the fault is. We did that with my wife's car, and they had no problem reading which wheel was kicking the ABS code. She told the tech that she just wanted the code read, and that I would fix it. Turned out to be a bad sensor in the RR wheel.

I am buying original bearing from Honda and will let you know if it resolved my issues. Thank you everyone for your tips. I really appreciate it. I will keep you posted. Thanks

The magnetic encoder ring is incorporated as part of the wheel bearing. The encoder (brown color) has to be installed toward the inside of the knuckle.

So yesterday we installed original bearing from Honda and when I started my car all 4 lights were still ON. But then I drove my car and all disappeared so my issue was fixed! Lesson learned- no more aftermarket parts ever! Thank you all for your input.
