i am kind of guessing abs faults are common on preludes

a quick history of my lude its been off the road since 2006 i have had it since 2015 its now ready for a mot so i thought quick road test shine up the brake discs check it drives ok no funny noises etc , start her up abs light on then goes off drive it down road abs light comes on pull over turn ignition off back on abs light goes out soon as i drive it light back on , i have done the paper clip bridge trick and no flashing code light but i clearly have a abs fault , i am assuming as it only comes on after driving it points to a sensor / pulse ring problem

Make sure there is proper connection between pins and your paper clip while you doing the test. How is SRS, 4WS, EML lights acting while test?

If the fault light comes on, it has logged a fault, so you will be able to get the codes out.
Rather than using a paperclip, use a proper bit of wire and make sure you are bridging the correct connector - you want the blue 2 pin, not the grey 3 pin.

right armed with my bridging wire i went for a drive then soon as light came on i pulled over to check code , i had one flash on the light finally a code but its the pump motor over run fault , which seems i need a bleeder t-wrench for this job so my next question where do i get one of them from is it a honda only part

i am assuming due to the shortage of replies the code 1 fault is rare , hoping to have some time over weekend to look into this fault so will report back

Code 1 ABS fault is rare, but when it has happened, most people normally just give up on, without investigating further.

Something is telling me that
@c_doughty1 is someone that has worked their way through this fault...
