Brake Job: Seventh Generation Accord (2003-'08) Fresno CA

Almost every seventh-generation Accord comes with ABS. All have Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) standard, so don’t look for a proportioning valve. Most 2006-08 models have Brake Assist Systems that helps recognize emergency braking situations and momentarily applies extra brake force in a “panic stop” or until the driver releases the brakes.

Brake Job: Seventh Generation Accord (2003-'08)


The seventh-generation Honda Accord front brakes come in two version. The V6 models have a thicker rotor and a larger caliper compared to the 4cyl models.

The system uses single piston floating calipers in the front. In the rear, some models use single piston floating calipers disc brakes with a ratcheting style parking brake. Low-end versions of the Accord use drums in the rear. Late model Acura TLs use a disc brake system with a drum-in-hat style parking brake.

ABS and Traction Control

Almost every seventh-generation Accord comes with ABS. All have Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) standard, so don’t look for a proportioning valve. Most 2006-08 models have Brake Assist Systems that helps recognize emergency braking situations and momentarily applies extra brake force in a “panic stop” or until the driver releases the brakes. The system uses inputs from steering position and yaw and pitch to determine if  Brake Assist will be used.

It has been reported if the steering position sensor is not calibrated, the mis-information from the sensor causes the ABS and stability control system to activate during some maneuvers and corners when it is not needed. Customers may report loss of speed and a changes in brake pedal level during braking and turning. The condition commonly happens on freeway exits. If a customer reports these symptoms, it may save you some time if you look at the output for the steering position sensor.
