March 24, 201214 yr The car is a 1997 Legacy AWD EJ22 5-speed Earlier today I took my rear discs off (along with a bunch of other parts) in order to get my new longer wheel studs installed. Everything went in and back together well, except now my ABS light is on. I did have to unbolt my ABS ring in order to reinstall the new studs, but it never came off the car (because to reinstall the hub/bearings they have to be pressed). Why is it on? Is the ABS ring orientated a specific way? I looked it over and it looked the same any direction. What could the issue be?
March 25, 201214 yr The sensor that reads the tone ring is a magnet that attracts flakes of rusty metal. Try cleaning them off. Could you possibly have damaged the sensor? For me, when I had ABS tone ring issues, my ABS would kick in every time I hit the brakes. Edited March 25, 201214 yr by mattocs
