Whenever I remote start I get the ABS light and it doesn't go out. If I key start everything works as advertised the light comes on and then goes out. I believe this is a new problem as the system has been installed since December and until recently I have never noticed the ABS light on. This is my wife's car which I seldom drive so it is possible, I guess, that the problem has existed since installation.

The spec's are: 2000 Honda Accord LX V6, Viper 300 esp Alarm with Valet 551T RS, and DE 555H Immobilizer Bypass module.

Well if this is "recent" then it sounds like one of the ignition/acc wires either blew a fuse or came loose. Who installed the system?

Thanks auex, ... I installed the RS, the alarm was installed by a shop in Dallas. (I'm in Hurricane ravished Flroida now) If it were a fuse, i don't believe it would work OK with the key start, although I guess it could be a bad one on the RS or alarm system. I will check all just to be sure. I know all connections that I did were soldered and double checked but that's not to say I didn't miss something. I guess I'm hoping for something a little more specific. I hate to completely tear the wire bundles all apart just looking for a needle in a hoystack.

Does your car have starter kill. If so they may of interupted the wire in the wrong place.

Yes, it does have starter kill. I will check that out too at first opportunity. I haven't really had time to even check the fuses yet. As I said I'm the the path of distruction from Hurricane Charlie, so I've been quite busy to say the least. And Damn it's HOT right now...

Can you expand on the “wrong place” a bit?

Well, I’ve found the problem but I’m just not sure how to correct it.

The problem is with the wiring on the relay group harness. The pink/white remains powered from beginning of the remote start cycle throughout the cranking and starting cycle. If I key start this wire is hot in the ON position, but goes dead during the cranking cycle, and obviously returns HOT in the RUN position. I disconnected this wire from the relay did a remote start and then as soon as the engine started I reconnected it to the relay and the ABS light worked as advertised. I currently have the Pink/White wire connected to the Yellow coming from the ignition switch. This according to the Honda service manual IS the IGN(2) and is NOT supposed to be powered during the cranking cycle. So my quandary is how do I rewire the relay to prevent power to this wire during the cranking cycle? I need it to work like the Orange (Accessory circuit) but I believe connecting the two together is probable NOT a good idea. I think if I cut the wire going to terminal 85 of that relay and connect it to the same wire that connect terminal85 to the accessory relay that should do it. I hate to cut without getting a respected opinion. What do you think AUEX or any other available professional?
