4 wheel drive light wont go off.

The Civic is a front wheel drive car: It does not have a bearing on the front wheels. Your car is equipped with a transaxle and drive axles that go into the transaxle. There are two CV (constant velocity) joints on each axle: an inner and an outer joint. If you want to pull the hub off of the drive axle or pull the drive axles, you will have to do a lot of other things first. If you still want the pull the hub, respond and I'll tell you how. It is an involved process and I don't want to waste your time with details that are not necessary.

Drive axle in front

The Constant Velocity (CV) joints are located on the inner and outer edges of the axle shaft. The axle shaft runs through the hub and bearing in the spindle.

Check your front wheel bearing and hubs when they defect the sounds increase on turns from one side to the other, due to the weight(load) displacement loaded on the bearings.
If your vehicle has front wheel drive this also can be the beginning of a defective front axle/axles C.V. joint(constant vellocity joint).

do not replace only the bearing. replace hub assembly. remove rim/tire , remove caliper, mounting plate, rotor. . un bolt hub assembly, unplug abs. remove front axle nut if 4x4. you may need to rent the axle nut remove kit and hub puller. pull out hub. drive axle reward out of hub. install new part. do not torque hub over 90lbs. check with parts sell for spec

Hi, this could be caused by worn ball joints or worn wheel bearings. If the whole hub moves look at the ball joints to determine the play on the joints, if the wheel moves and there are no movement on the ball joints, then you need to replace the wheel bearings.

Hub and Bearing Assembly
CAUTION: Do not begin this removal procedure unless the following parts are available:

• A new front axle wheel hub retainer (3B477) (Step 1).
• A new inboard halfshaft joint stub shaft circlip.

Once removed, these parts must not be reused during assembly. Their torque holding ability or retention capability is diminished during removal.
Removal

1. Turn ignition switch to the OFF position and place the steering column in the unlock position.
   

1. CAUTION: Discard the front axle wheel hub retainer. It is a torque prevailing design and cannot be reused. If loosened, the retainer must be removed and a new one installed.

41 indicates Rpm sensor, at left front wheel, 42, is right front sensor. I'd check for dirt in and around both, clean connections, and wire brush or whatever the toothed ring to clean it all up, then clear codes & see what happens.

i had the same problem,i endend up changing the hub bearings and ball joints and front u joints the main problem was the hub bearings

just checked this out a while ago:



Wheel Hub Assemblies: Systems and Diagnosis of Worn Hub Assemblies & Bearings
Front wheel hub assemblies and bearings control the position of, and reduce the resistance of, vehicle wheels in contact with the pavement. When they fail, front wheels may not be kept in position and vibration and noise usually develop. Symptoms that normally develop as a result of these worn parts include:

• A humming, rumbling or growling noise which increases with acceleration or as the vehicles turns
• Vibration felt in the steering wheel, which changes with vehicle speed or as the vehicle turns
• Looseness or excessive play in the steering wheel (especially while driving over rough road surfaces)
• A loud, constant grinding noise when driving the vehicle (heard in the most severe cases of a wheel bearing failure)
• Pulling to one side when braking.
• Roughness - with the vehicle of the ground, roughness or vibration when rotating the wheel
• Looseness - with the vehicle off the ground, looseness when wiggling the wheel back and forth (Looseness may also indicate a worn ball joint)
• Excessive brake pedal play can also indicate sloppy or excessively loose wheel bearings
• ABS failure in the system may be related to failure of the ABS sensor in the hub assembly or the internal sensor in the wheel bearing
