4WS throwing codes! - Honda Prelude Forum

My 4ws is throwing codes 70,71, which are temporary driving conditions that dont make sense. 71 says that the rear wheels are blocked when they aren't...could this be a messed up sensor or something else? Any help would be great!

As a side note the 4ws works in the mornings and after being parked for a while....

Could be a failing rear wheel position sensor... Do the rear wheels steer in the morning before it throws the code?

yeah it works perfect with no 4WS light in the morning, but when i start it up again it gives me code 71. Would it be worth it to replace it myself or should i have the stealership work on it?

Might be worth while from them to check it out. I can almost bet that your average shop mechanic has no idea how the 4WS works.

Yeah i wouldnt think that a local shop would know what they are doing in this case...Was this problem under a recall, because i thought i saw something about 1992 4WS recall on Hp.com? Thanks for your help.
