what year accord have you got? cos i just read the manual and it says this is normal on the 86-89 accord.

'87. I'm reading a Prelude manual but I'd have thought that the ALB would be the same? Both cars were built on the same platform as far as I'm aware. Would you be able to send me a copy of the Accord manual please? Could be handy

yeah no worries. I'll p.m the link

its the 2g Prelude which is similar which finished in 1986, are you looking at the 3g manual?

when you download the accord manual take a look at point 3 on page 20-55

Yeah I'm looking at the 3G manual as they came with the GSi trim, as my Accord is GSi trim I thought they'd be built on the same platform?

Will definitely check the Accord manual - if the light should stay on until the brake is depressed I'll just print the relevant section for my MOT tester

2g had the gsi trim too with the same B20A engine as the accord. the B20A in the 3g is a completely different engine so the 3g accord is more similar to the 2g Prelude

yeah it deffo says it in the manual so you should be ok

Just had a read, that's awesome

Means my car is working properly, possibly

Let's just hope my MOT tester doesn't think I'm desperately trying to get around the new rules

No definite date currently as I was trying to buy time to fix the ALB. As it's not faulty I'll book it in for either wednesday or Friday

I have an ALB fault as one of my wheel sensors is out, but the light will come on on ignition and then go off as we're used to, and only once I've rolled forward several metres will the ALB dash light come back on again to alert me of a hazard.

I'd find out how @Crazy_C's works as yours is two years younger than mine, so there may have been a few changes

The ALB ecu is in the front of the centre console by the way. There is a CEL light in the side of the centre console on the passenger side, so you need to get your head in there (Might have a little pop-off cover on it). It's fairly old skool and therefore isn't that bright, so best check it when it's dark, but I think it's a first click on the ignition job.

CEL codes should be in the manual.

Are these the manuals you've got?...

^ That sounds exactly like the 3G Lude ALB setup.
