Most likely you need to replace the EGR valve. It is also possible that the control line (could be vacuum line or electric) has become disconnected. You local auto parts store can show you what this looks like for your car, and where it's located. It is usually on the exhaust manifold somewhere, so it will be really hot if the car has been recently driven. Check for obvious disconnected control lines or pinched hoses between it and the intake manifold, if you don't see anything, try replacing it.
What this does is routes a small amount of exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to lower combustion temperatures and reduce NOx smog formation, hence the name Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve.

take it to your local parts store and they will test this free

may be you should make a diagnostic and you can do it in a garage or you can do it by yourself if you want to do it by yourself you need some tools and you can find some good ones here:http://www.xcardiag.com/

It really sounds like you have a defective front wheel bearing. Have a shop confirm this.

The P1600 is a generic OBD II code. It just means that a more specific code (Honda) has been set. To find the specific code you have to take it to the dealer or have a Vetronics Mastertech scan tool to get the actual code. The P1433 indicates thats the the main battery contactor or the by-pass contactor is staying active when it should not. Using an Actron pocket code reader will only read generic OBD II codes. Hope this helps.
