One problem related to brake abs warning light has been reported for the 2005 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2005 Pilot.
The vsa and/or abs will unexpectedly apply the brakes while driving. It is a short and quick application of the brakes, hard enough to make the vehicle swerve. It then seems to release and you can continue driving. Once this occurs both the vsa and abs lights on the dash turn on showing they are disabled. The brakes continue to be operational. Upon turning off the ignition the lights reset and the vsa/abs seem to be operational. During cold temperatures I will sometimes find the vsa/abs lights turn on and stay on during start up but again only during cold temperatures. After driving a short time (10-15 minutes or miles) I will turn the ignition off, wait 1-2 minutes, turn the ignition on and the vsa/abs lights go through the normal start up test and turn off and expected. This vehicle has not been in any major accidents that would affect the braking systems.
