Hi, HONDANSXR.
As always, basic information on your NSX would help us in supporting you.

From your other posts, it looks like your NSX is 91 model.
There was another post from you regarding the ABS back in 2009. Is this the same issue?

If that is the case, I’m afraid replacing the wheel speed sensor won’t fix the issue.


From what you wrote this time, sounded like you are having ABS error code #1 which is exactly the case if your ABS pump kept running for 120sec.
The ABS is not achieving the targeted pressure threshold within 120sec and the system is shutting down for the failsafe reason.
There are several reasons for this such as leaky solenoids (there are four of them), faulty accumulator and so on.

As the member ‘britlude’ recommended you long time ago, try flushing or exercising it first before going any further.
The link below will also provide you with extra info but please be careful with the photos as they are from the Acura LHD model.
