From reading here, I believe that this is caused by a bad abs sensor at one of the wheels. I have no idea how to figure out which one has gone bad.

Try turning your caps lock off.

ABS LIGHT, RED BRAKE LIGHT, DSC LIGHT AND CAPS LOCK ALL ON

Luckily there's a button for the caps lock, the rest of them I'm not sure how you'll get them shut off...

Is your TPS light on also? If so, it almost positively a wheel sensor. Still might be w/o the TPS light. From another thread, this seems to happen just after the car is washed or otherwise wet. Are you still under warranty?

I just got out from the dealer with the same problem. The entire ABS unit must be replace. Part Number 34-51-6-765-283. Dealer wants $2,458. I found a used one on ebay for less than $400.

I had the ABS light go off on my a Integra GS-R. Basically I fooled the system into thinking the ABS was faulty by stopping on top of a manhole cover. The cover slipped with the wheel and the ABS got confused in this state. So it shut itself off, I turned off the engine and restarted and the light went off. I only know this to be the case because from that day on, I manage to hit the same manhole cover just to see if I could get the ABS light to go off. Most of the time I could. So it's not always a faulty sensor.

I've had the TPMS and DSC light pop on for no good reason many times on my '05 MCS manual... Usually the engine is cold and the weather is damp. Once warmed up, even on the highway while moving at 60 mph, I'll push in the clutch, shut the engine down and restart and the lights go out.

Remove the wheel sensors and try cleaning them; just wipe them down with a damp cloth and dry them off and reinstall.

Cured my problem that way.
