yes as long as the overall hight is the same.

the light will only turn off when the ABS system fault that caused the module to turn the light on is repaired, to do this u need to have the dealer test the system for fault codes, most likely one of the four wheel speed sensors will be defective.

have you tried using a strap wrench on it!! this may just do the trick.

You remove the drain plug from the transmission pan. The oil pan is at the front of the vehicle bottom of engine. The transmission pan is more in the middle of the vehicle. The plug will either be on the bottom of the pan or on the side. For a quick change you drain and refill, but you usually want to change the transmission filter which is inside the pan. To do that you drain and remove the pan, take of the old pan seal and clean the area it was at on the pan. Remove the filter and replace, then put the new gasket on the pan and install the pan and fill

Take the car to Autozone or similar business that allows free use of their computer scanner. It should give you any codes that it has detected and need to be repaired. Some problems are emissions related and won't cause driving problems. Hope this helps!

Here is the plug wiring diagram, courtesy of AutoZone:

its right on the front of your transmission . each sensor will have 2 small cylindrical peices potruding out of them ... they r real easy to see. and to fix the problem just take them off and replace them. its super easy. but autozone will try to rip u off on them they charge like 212.00 a peice for them ... so buy online for a better deal about 120.00 if u look around.

if its a manual there is no dip stick on a automatic it should be near the firewall on the left or right side of engine

The Prelude SI is the nicest model Prelude.

Normally it's not too hard, most are placed under the passenger side dash and held on by about 3 bolts or sometimes rivets, with 1 connector for the blower and depending the model, 1 connector for the resistor.
It might require some Cirque du Soleil acrobatics to get in the position to take it off, but it's a fairly easy diy fix.

not sure but you can try cam or crank sensor.

If you are looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle. on the Right hand side, there should be a metal hump coming out of the firewall. It is on the other side of that hump, and should be acessed from inside the vehicle, behind the dash on passenger side.

When the air bag light stays on it is telling you that the bag is not working. If you have checked the fuses and they are good it should be looked at by a certified tech.

HI. You may, temporairly, shutdown the code by pulling the negivtive battery cable for five to ten minutes. This will reset the cpu, but the light will illuminate again if the neccessry repairs are not applied to correct the issues with the ABS systme. The issue here will, more than likely, bewith one or all of the speed sensors that are located on each wheel axle assembly. These sensors work in unison to insure optimal operation during a skid, or hard breaking situation. In order to isolate the problem, you will need to have a diagnostic scan run on the on-board CPU system. Once the codes are pulled, the read-out will direct you to the actual location of the sensor, and the repairs needed. Once the repairs are made, the CPU ABS alert will be reset automatically.

You probably checked this, but sometimes we forget.
The dial on the dashboard to the left of the instrument panel controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Turn the dial to adjust the brightness. Also, to reduce glare at night, the fuel and temperature gauges dim when you turn on the parking lights or headlights. You then adjust their brightness when you adjust the instrument panel brightness.
Turn the dial up as far as it will go to return the fuel and temperature gauges to their daytime brightness.
I hope helps and it's that simple for you.

i would check spark plugs then o2 sensor or mass sensor

generally its the main relay

yes u can but you will loose performance and fuel mileage, it will really not be worth the few cents more you pay, if you use the midgrade 89 octane that is a better choice.

Your best bet is buy a repair manual or see if your library has one. The pictures with the step by step is the way to go
