TITLE:
Don't Skip Clear and Retest Steps in ABS Diagnosis

APPLIES TO:
2001-05 Civic EX

SERVICE TIP:
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to do all the steps called out in a diagnostic procedure. If you're diagnosing for a ABS DTC, and the procedure calls for replacement of the ABS modulator, make sure you clear the DTC and test-drive the vehicle again. If you skip these steps, it could lead to needless replacement of the ABS modulator.
