The kakakaka sound when turning is also gone

I have gotten 2 quotes for the upholstery work, with a 1week duration for completion of the work. Both guys charged 50k each (like say dem get union grin) I also found the stock interior complete @ 150k in ladipo.

I will be going with the upholstery option but will inspect previous work done by each of them to make a decision. This will be done along side painting and panel beating.



last time I updated, I indicated vehicle will go for panel beating. Unfortunately it didn't.
My preferred panel beater was under the weather so I skipped that and did other things.

Went early in the morning so I could take advantage of the morning market/first customer thing "some" business men believe if you drive away the first client it's bad mojo for the rest of the day grin

I'm looking for Non- directional W rated tyres minimum production date 2014.

First tyres I got were very good continental tyres with good thread marks, but I was not satisfied, I can do better.

Finally after a lot of back and forth, I settled for a set of 4 bridgestone tyres, 2015 W rated. I'll upload those pics specially in the morning.

Also got a spare tyre to go with them

Korean Brand EVERSTART solved that issues

Time for that VSA warning.

A scan of the vehicle revealed an error with the steering angle system, although it is clearly stated that there was a recall issue, I was not sure what parts were replaced during the recall.

So first thing I did was a live scan to see actually what was happening.

With the scanner connected, the steering angle is stuck on 0 degrees and does vales do not move when steering is turned.

There is also a permanent code that reuses to go when erased.
Steering angle sensor circuit
.

I opened up the steering and replaced the steering angle sensor to see if the problem would be fixed

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5648328_img20170710185107_jpegdf66c53bc3214f0823ff79df7cde3033

But taa, the error code was still there.

Let me briefly explain how the steering angle sensor works and what it does.

The steering angle system consists of a pulsar plate with markings at 2 points, and a sensor that reads the markings.

The module that controls the system, is also same module that controls the anti lock braking system, and it is found on the front right of the car just by the power steering pump.

Working from easy to hard, I am now faced with replacing the ABS pump which also doubles as the VSA module.

For this I took a trip to onyigbo (yaba) and hooked up with a great man called luvinhubby wink

I explained my current predicament and he handed a me a sharp toks ABSpump.

Without taking out the brake pipes, I extended the harness to the new part, went into the car and started it.

It was like magic, no more warning lights cheesy

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5647789_img20170713155501_jpeg70a3e8209d9f8032e4f2cff42f7a6874

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5648336_img20170713155550_jpegfaf842a96bd1eebb9e40a2aca00754d4

Impressive results. I connected my old one back and put the new part in the boot.

I bought some other honda parts from him and went back to the workshop.

I removed the old pump, installed the new one, this was a great opportunity to flush out the old brake fluids and install new fluids, so after the installation I bleed the system with dot4 ATE fluid.

Next was to reprogram the new ABS/VSA system to the vehicle, it went seamless, and I am done.

The drive home was fantastic, no more warning lights.
