97 civic abs light from a cs396i

Sorry I am a retard, I was testing the wires under the dash where they come out of the wire harness there. at that point there is a white wire with a small black stripe tests acc and that comes out of the same box as the yellow acc and the BLACK / YELLOW ignition.  I have since taken the ignition plastic cover off and tested it there.  At the iginition box there is a different wire that is black with a small white stripe labeled as starter and that tests as  a starter (i feel very dumb).  However the other white with a small black wire is also there labeled as "acc" and tests as acc with the key and nothing with the remote.  The yellow wire which on my plan says is the acc wire it is labeled as 160A, may be not quite the right number but it tests as acc.  I traced this yellow wire back and it has two different wires from the command start spliced into it, is it possible that one of these is meant for the white with a little black stripe wire that tested as acc?

Ok, That WHITE/ black wire in the ignition harness is your problem.  It is listed here as an accessory 2 wire:

You need to get that WHITE/ black wire tapped into and powered by the remote starter as an accessory.  I'm not familiar with your remote starters wiring, but usually coming off the remote starter is - 1 wire for starter, 1 wire for ignition, 1 wire for accessory.  There will be a 4th wire that will be programmable some how to act as a second ignition or second accessory.  This could be selectable as a jumper on the remote starter brain or a programmable option using the valet switch. Look at your installation manual.

As for the starter wire at the ignition column(BLACK/ white). I probably would not worry about that wire, they probably hooked that wire up correctly where ever they made that connection.  Otherwise your car wouldn't crank and actually start, correct?  So its got to be that second accessory wire not being powered up by the remote starter. Hook it up and call it a day, good trrouble shooting on your part!

Sorry I took so long to reply I was out of town for work.  So I found a manual for an auto start that is basically the same model as the command start I had with the wires ebing the same.  I has to swith the little chip to make the remaining wire act as an accesory wire.  I hooked this accesssory wire up to the second acc wire and yes it fixed the problem but did not shut the light off on its own.  This elimanted 5 of 7 codes.  There was another problem likely related to the original remote start installation, they had unplugged a 4 wire harness under the drivers kick panel that connects the abs system to the rear tire sensors, why they unplugged it I don't know.  Once this was also plugged back in the remaining codes cleared.  Thanks for all the help guys and let me be a lesson to all rookies BLACK/ white is not the same as WHITE/ black!
