ABS light will not make the car fail. The brakes just have to stop the car. My DD has the same problem and has passed 2 years in a row now.

That is not true. Some of the 96+ cars are like that but not all of them (machine reading the vin #). From my experiences are the ones where you replace the PCM and have to program it to a VIN# then those will be read, but otherwise it can't tell who or what it is. Since I work on Hondas I know which ones will be read and which ones can't be read.
