Car model and year:
2006 Honda civic hybrid with about 130,000 miles on it
Car symptoms: abs and break system lights on
I put a back right wheel bearing on for me yesterday. Everything sounds great but now my abs and
break system lights are on, the abs light came on immediately when starting the car. The “brake
system” light came on later when we hit a significant speed. Everything sounded normal until I
got into a parking lot and braked at a low speed. I could hear kind of a “kuhthunk” noise every
time the tire went around.
Analysis and Solution:
If a rear bearing was replaced, that’s pretty straightforward…unless the sensor was inadvertently
hit and damaged, which doesn’t seem likely if the person was careful.
And that wouldn ’ t turn on the brake system light either, just the ABS/TCS/VSA lights (if
equipped).
I can’t think of anything I would do when replacing a rear bearing that would cause the warning
lights….
But I can’t speak for anyone else’s’ work either. I have no idea what someone else might do.
Various thoughts:
——The amber “brake system” light has to do with the ‘advanced hydraulic booster’ system (hybrid
power brake booster).
Could be blown fuse, etc.,
It could have a real problem, or it could need something as simple as reinitialized/relearn with the
Honda HDS scanner.
——The ABS light can come on if the 12v battery voltage is low or a power source is missing (blown
fuse?), same goes for the brake system warning light.
These usually go out as soon as the issue is corrected though, but leave codes stored in memory.
However, I have seen these cars go absolutely nuts with multiple warning lights and strange codes
if someone ran the 12v battery down and then tried to jump start the car improperly.
A battery reset can resolve some of these cases (like a system reboot)….
Make sure you have your radio code handy!
Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key, put it in your pocket, shut all doors.
Disconnect both battery cables from the 12v battery,
connect both the cable ends together for 10 minutes,
and then reconnect the battery— MAKE SURE THE KEY IS OFF when you do this.
——Is there anything else in the car (electrical) that isn’t working? Power mirrors work?
——The average user does not have a way to extract codes from those systems, nor perform an
initialization procedure. The service manual I have does not tell any manual method of retrieving
codes.
Dealer visit for that, if needed.

What to do?
Try the battery reset procedure above.
Check brake fluid level — special procedure! See your owners manual (page 196) because the
reservoir you can see first is sometimes empty and that’s ok.
Check fuse #4 in the dash fuse box. Hell, check all the fuses in both fuse boxes.
Next step would probably be going to a dealer,
checking for fault codes and data
Search info bulletins
Then on to troubleshooting charts and procedures.
