What's wrong with my car????

Hey eveyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This morning, i started my car to warm it up and everythign was fine. No warning lights. I put it in reverse, started to drive down my street and the ABS light, Park brake light (which was not ding-ing) and the "D" light started to flash. I pulled over immediately, and turned off the car. Made sure the park brake was off, make sure the tires were ok, and tried it again. THe lights were still on. THe car drives normally, although i did not try to activate the ABS system. I"m wondering if anyone knows what's going on or if this has happened to anyone else. I'm calling the dealer today to book an appointment, but i'm curious on if anyoen has seen or heard of this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Unfortunatly, becasue the car is running on CAN data not OBDII, i can't scan it. (I'm an automotive mechanic), so PLEASE!!! HELP ME and my FIT

Dealership time

I had a faulty O2 sensor on mine recently and also when i bought it the horn didnt work. I'd just rush over to the dealership and get them to fix it.

Odds are you've got a bad ABS sensor. It's the only repair (other than a headlight bulb) that my Mazda Protege5 has required. From what I'm seeing in my research, it's a fairly common repair item. Mazda dealer replaced mine in under an hour.

Im not sure what you mean by "activate the ABS." The ABS is automatic, and no light comes on when you use it. If the light comes on it means it is not ready yet (car first started) or something faulty in the system(likely the sensor).

Sounds like he means that he didn't check and see if ABS was still working (or would work) by stomping the break pedal while driving over a slippery surface...

I want to know what this is about Toy Yoda, so please let us know if Honda told you what was wrong or fixed it.
