Default Breaking Problems

Hi everyone, well recently I bought 94 accord ex and whne I break the pedal keeps going all the way to the floor with me even putting light preassure on it. Does anyone got any idea what it might be or how much would it be to fix? Oh my abs light turns on after like 3 minutes of dthe car being turned on.

With the brake pedal going to the floor I would suspect the master cylinder. I assume you have checked the fluid level?

you can get the ABS code by using the service check connector, it is at the top of the passengerside kick panel kinda under the glove box. Link below. It will flash a two part code.
I would say from your description of the brake problem themaster cylinder is bad.

I don't mean to be a doomsdayer, but the master cylinder replacement will probably fix the low Brake pedal, but it will not fix the ABS problem.

If the brake fluid is low, that could be causing the ABS light to come on, I do believe. Of course, if you change out the master cylinder, wouldnt you have to bleed and refill the brake fluid anyway?

low fluid on the brake master will not make abs lite to come on,, abs system has its own reservoir

Sinking pedal is classic for a bad master cylinder, but that won't fix the ABS problem.

Based on my Integra, probably the same system...

There's one shared warning circuit for handbrake & low brake fluid. This sets off the warning light on the dash, but it also feeds to the ABS controller. Drive around with low fluid or the handbrake set; you'll get code 2-1 from the ABS (along with the ABS warning lamp).

But... that means his handbrake warning lamp would also be on.

All we can do is guess until Miami reads his ABS error code.
