    After reporting the blocked solenoids issue to the owner, we discussed about the possible options.



    One of them is obviously to overhaul the existing one and I have done it on many units as well as translated and forwarded the method to another owner.


    However, I always need to remind the owner of the original ABS on the following points.


    1. You must exercise the ABS regularly otherwise you ...

    The reservoir cap seal was not positioned properly and trapped under the cap.


    Possibly, some debris and moisture got inside as there were several bits held in the filter.


    Fortunately, I had spare cap so replaced it.

    It is important to flush the ABS system regularly especially if you have the 1st and 2nd generation ABS on your NSX.


    1st and 2nd generation ones will have separated reservoir just in front of the Brake master cyl.


    3rd generation (upgraded ABS) one is part of the Main brake system and sharing the master cyl reservoir.

    Flushed the accumulator twice with fresh fluid and then moved onto four solenoids.


    While pressurising the accumulator, I noticed tiny amount of bubbles coming out of the return port.


    This means that at least one of the solenoid is leaking.
