ABS light on on other Accord years
No other Accord model year has enough reports of ABS light on for a sheet of its own. See every Accord year.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside brake problems for the anti-lock brake (ABS) warning light. What separates it from the wider brake sheet is that most owners here aren't describing worn pads or grinding. They're describing a light, and often a list of features that quit along with it.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (53 reports) and the ABS pump (3 reports).

When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 60,000 and 110,000 miles, from the 29 reports that gave a mileage.
What owners wrote
“The ABS module is designed to fail after an extended period of time, leaving the owner to drive in dangerous conditions unless they pay thousands of dollars for the necessary repairs. This is essentially extortion, and the owners need to be held accountable. Our society runs the risk of being ran by parasitic, profit-driven, morally bankrupt individuals unless the issue is resolved appropriately. Thank you!”

“ABS, traction control, power steering, parking lights go on and off. ABS control module throws code DTC 121-11; VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Been going off and on for a few weeks. No warning before the lights came on. Heard this is a common problem with the early 2010s Honda Accords that needs a recall. Pulled the code from a personal OBDII scanner.”

“ABS Module failed, affects the braking system. Problem confirmed by mechanic. Braking lights on dash all lit up including the "LDW Failure" and "FCW Failure" message on the dashboard. The dashboard warning lights go on and off (not constant, but every time I drive).”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 83 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
