Take your car into a car shop and have the code read. I know Autozone will read your car for free. Post the findings back here.

RE: ABS, TCS lights

I'm not familiar w/ 03 Accord ABS, however in earlier years (97 and earlier), the ABS unit could be read directly by shorting the service check connector and reading the flashes of the ABS system. An initial 2-sec long flash precedes codes. Codes are all short flashes w/ short pause between 1st and 2nd digit (f-ffff=14). ABS codes are not OBD2 codes and are not scanned by AZ, Pepboys, et al.

good luck

All hondas are like that. The newer ones have the service check line relocated to the DLC. You just have to jump it ot ground.
