What is your question?
I have a 2013 Honda civic ex 2 door. All the lights came on in the dash and broke it down to the ABS break control module. Unfortunately Honda discontinued this part and I can’t find one anywhere. How can Honda make a faulty part but not have a replacement or the means to fix it??

Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. "How can Honda make a faulty part..." - well, the vehicle is 12 years old. Assuming your information is factual and accurate -- which is questionable...check your local Honda dealership -- realize that Honda and all other manufacturers do not need to support vehicles for replacement parts after a reasonable amount of time. However - double check your local dealership first. Then, you can find parts at salvage yards or even eBay. Reach out to a shop near you for help too. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link to find some shops near you who can help out!
Hello, If you still need a bit more help on this issue Junkyard units or used units from ebay are prone to the same problems your current unit is facing. There is plenty of youtube videos showing them fail and how they fail. Those videos even show how some repairs are made. Since they fail due to a manufacturing deficiency at one point most of these abs modules from Honda Civics 2008-2017 will need to be refurbished or replaced with new ones from the dealer. The hydraulic portion does not seem to fail as often , it just tends to get clogged, but the electronic portion is a common failure point. If you are interested in buying one from ebay or a junk yard be sure to confirm the part number is correct. To do so look at the golden/brown letters written in the black section of your module. It will say TR0B0 or TR0B3 among many others. It will start with a T followed by numbers and letters. This here is a guide that explains everything more thoroughly and even offers a repair of the original if you wish to repair the one currently in the car. https://autopartsfix.com/honda-civic-abs-repair-guide
