Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

Must secure the cable carefully considering the heat and vibration environment.
Even a tiny movement can damage the cable if it kept vibrating over the long period.




In order to prevent the noise and moisture entering the cabin, sealed it with the flex sealant.




Before tiding up the cable, carried out the system check.

IG in P2 (ON) and all dash lights activated for the bulb check mode.

About 2sec later, the ABS light (centre block, furthest left) switches itself off once it pass the initial self-diagnosis check.
TCS light (centre block, 2nd from the left) stays on until after starting the engine.




As mentioned earlier, all 99/00+ NSX models equipped with the latest ABS are using IG2 for the ABS logic circuit.
Therefore, unlike the classic 1st and 2nd gen ABS, the power reset happens while you are cranking the engine until you release the IG key.
After the engine has started and released the IG key, the TCS light disappears eventually but the ABS light will come back ON again due to IG2 power reset and it starts another self-diagnosis check. Then, after about 2sec, the ABS light will switch itself off.

Using the ABS upgrade loom from T3Tec or KSP Engineering will follow exactly the same OEM light sequences as above.
I know other ABS upgrade looms use different power supply and won't follow the same ABS light behaviour as above. Not a big issue but personally, I prefer the OEM like sequence.


So, the system is installed properly.
Beautiful.


The latest ABS has massive brain power over the classic one so that it can diagnose even the noisy wheel speed sensor signal.
With the classic ABS, it won’t even trigger the ABS warning light for this kind of issue.
Therefore, until I spin all four wheels, I can’t confirm the signal quality but so far, so good.


Time to tidy up the cables, put everything back in place and prepare myself for the time consuming door glass alignment.
Not looking forward to it as I always need at least one full day for just doing one side of the door…… Already behind the schedule.....
