question about 92 Si - Honda Prelude Forum

SikRedRX-8 · 11-11-2002, 01:07 PM

Did it come with ABS? If so why is the wiring harness different from all other years (except 96 of course)?

jsmooney · 11-11-2002, 01:09 PM

Because the 92 was not availible with v-tec....there are no wires for vtec

yes, ABS is standard

Thought about that, But if my memory is right when looking at my boys harness he has the wires for vtec. trying to remember.

I thought the 92 was wired for vtec....I might be wrong. ABS is standard on the "Si" I dont think it came on the "S"

here is why I am asking, Put a 92 Si harness on a 94 Si and there wasn't any plug ins for the ABS but there was vtec wires. Also the harness was labled and was different from the s which doesn't have plugs for the secondary butterflies on the IM and i am just wondering why.

Not all 92 Si are wired for VTEC, mine wasn't but they should all have ABS...

where can I look to see if my 92 has the VTEC wires?

The wires are somewhere on the passenger side of the engine bay, I don't remember how you identify them but there should be info about this somewhere on this site, use the search :P

Whether or not the ABS actually does anything on 4th Gens is a whole different issue.

I disconnected mine so that tells you.

I don't think mine has ever worked, and I'm the second owner (since 36k miles).

Yeah, the foot massage is pretty nice, I'll have to admit.

I have a broken ABS sensor so my ABS light has been on since I've had the car (over 2 years now). Is it worth replacing it? Or are the ABS on the 4th gen not good enough?

SLICK96 · 11-16-2002, 03:12 AM

Dude, mine just straight up never worked, I guess. The sad thing is that the Honda monkey techs who worked on my car never mentioned anything about it NOT working. I know what the foot-massaging ABS works like. Honda 4th Gen Prelude ABS is worthless, if it works at all.

agreed

Forbidden · 11-16-2002, 09:36 AM

Well is it worthless cause it doesn't work or even if it worked it would be worthless? I mean the sensor is something I can replace in 10 minutes, I'd just need to get one and I should have a fully functionnal ABS but if it's really worthless I'd just take off the whole ABS assembly and save a few bucks and have a few lbs less in the car
