WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DTCs may be indicated under these conditions:

The vehicle goes into a spin.
The ABS or VSA continues to operate for a long time.
Snow, dirt, or debris build-up on the wheel speed sensor or magnetic encoder.
Misadjusted brake switch.
Contaminated brake fluid.

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information. (See General Troubleshooting Information ).

Drive the vehicle until the brakes drag or until the pedal is high and hard. This can take 20 or more brake pedal applications during an extended test-drive.

With the engine running, raise the vehicle on a lift, then spin the appropriate wheel by hand. (See LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
